Who am I? Well, I'll tell ya. I know I am somebody who is different. But then again, all of us are different. We are each similar in many ways, yet unique unto ourselves.

So why am I different, I say to myself. For many reasons...but one reason stands out now, blatantly, like an explosion of awareness which has come to light up my mind. I look into the mirror, full body, clothed with just my briefs on, and I stand in amazement, more and more now as the awareness of what has been happening to me is becoming more of a reality. Why do I look so young, both my face and my body, and especially my body, easily twenty-five to thirty or more years younger than my sixty years of age.

I know. I sound narcissistic. But it is far from narcissism wherein lies my interest. I am a scientist, and the Earth and the stars and the heavens, the universe above, has been my laboratory all my life. For as long as I remember I have been trying to figure it out...Who am I? Where am I? What am I? What is this world that I find myself in? And who are all those others around me populating the world wherein I find myself living --whatever that means, to be 'living'...beings who call themselves people just like me in so many ways, but yet different unto themselves as I am to myself.

They say Einstein had a very perseverent mind, the amazing ability to appraoch a problem for years on end until he figured it out, such as the equivalence of mass and energy, or gravity and acceleration--his equivalence principle--which is less well know to the populace but of extreme significance in terms of what this place we live in, this universe, is all about.

Not meaning to take anything away from Einstein, who I've always admired all my life and studied his works for decades on end--my intent having been to marry his conclusions with the nature of the reality we live in, and in particular with the nature of our psyche, with our consciousness, as to what it is.

I knew even as a child, to find answers to my questions, I'd have had to learn all about the human body and about the environment within which our bodies and our minds exist and interreact. I'd have had to learn about those aspects of our environment which appear to be surrounding and enveloping us...the air we breath, the physical objects we touch and see and which appear to be close at hand, the sounds we hear with our ears, the things we smell and taste.

Is This World Within Which We Live...Is It Made Up Of the 'Physical,' Or Is It That It Is Wholly Made Up Of 'Mind'?

In short, I'd have to know and learn about all those things within our environment which we perceive and sense with our sensations, all of which clearly involves the workings of our minds and our consciousness. One must acknowledge the extreme importance of our senses and of the awareness we experience within our minds, all of which gives us the sensation that we are living, and alive. Ironically, we must remember to ask ourselves, in thinking of these so many questions about our existence, about who we are--and for me, about who I am...I must ask myself, "Is it that I live in a material, a physical world, or is it that my senses, my perceptions, in and of themselves, is what gives me the 'feelings' that I am alive? Is it that this apparently physical universe within which I live...within which we all live...is it that it is perhaps nothing more than merely that which we call 'mind'?

In answering my many questions I knew even as a little kid I'd have to become a medical doctor, the professional so designated by our society who would learn and know all about the human body, so as to learn about health and disease and aging. But more so I knew, even as my parents gave me my toy stethoscope at the age of four or five--for "Roy will grow up to become a great doctor!"...even then as I made believe I was listening to the beat of my heart...even then I knew even more so I'd have to spend my life learning both about the apparently physical world around me, as well as that which appeared to be as far away as the heavens and the stars...the cosmos. I'd have to study the priniciples by which the universe worked, the physics of nature. I'd have to learn about what, as a small child looking up at the stars...about what seemed to be so far removed physically from me, in both time and space, from where I stood on the planet wherein I appear to reside.

Yes, even as a young boy, as a teenager, I marveled at the sun, at the moon, at the stars up in the sky...at the universe...all of which appeared to be that aspect of my environment--of our environment--which was so ever far removed by millions upon millions of light years in time and space...but which, as I grew older and learned more, I would begin to realize were not so far removed as is common for most all of us on this planet to otherwise think, as we have always, for centuries upon centuries, thought them to be...so unattainable in time and distance.

But again, not mearning to take anything away from Einstein's ability to persevere, ever since I could remember, even as a little kid under the age of five, I was determined to learn all there was to know about ourselves, about our bodies, and about the world--the universe--within which we lived. I knew I would first have to become a doctor, and only then could I go on to a higher level of learning, with the knowledge of the medical doctor's education, learning, and experience within the encompass of my mind.

How foolish be those people who would think they could appropriately conduct their lives in a way compatible with a healthier livestyle, but without the vast knowledge of the workings of the human body in health and disease within their minds, the domain of the medical doctor.

But then again, how ever so much more foolish be the medical doctors who would think they could conduct their lives in a way compatible with a healthier lifestyle without the added knowledge of the principles by which the universe works. For you see, the very bodies the workings of which are the domain of the medical doctor, are in of themselves physical and mental entities existing within, and part and parcel of, the universe at large.

How naive it would be to think one could understand the workings in health and disease...and aging...of the human body without the added knowledge of the principles by which the cosmos, by which the universe works, via the principles as of physics, both theoretical and practical.

Einstein was a great man, but he thought of the universe more so as a uniquely physical place wherein the physical beings we call our bodies reside. Unfortunately, the 'physical' is only one-half of the coin, the other half being that of the mind, of the psyche, of our perceptions and of our senses, and all of with which we appear to perceive or experience this place wherein we reside, which we call the physical world.

Einstein realized that physical matter and energy [whatever that is, scientists all speak of it...but can they see it as I now can with the knowledge I've attained and mean to explain to you?]...Einstein realized that matter and energy were one in the same thing and expressed this relationship via the now famous equation E=mc².

...But how otherwise shocked might he have been had he realized that 'physical matter' and 'mind' were also one the same? And how much more shocked might he have been had he logically realized that his understanding (the equivalence of mass and energy) combined with my understanding (the equivalence of matter and mind) would additionally mean that both energy and mind were also equivalent...different forms of the same thing?

These latter relationships I have discovered over many decades of study throughout my lifetime. I have persevered in the matter of finding out who I am-- and who you are--for my entire life so far, almost all sixty years of it. And how could I have done otherwise if I were to answer my questions than not only to become a medical doctor and surgeon, but to spend my entire life studying a vast array of topics and fields of learning from medicine to so many fields of science to anthropology to pyschology and the workings of the 'mind' and nutrition and exercise (the latter of which encompasses so much more than the average person thinks), and so on!

You name it, if it has in any way to do with the human body, the universe within which we live, and the 'mind,' I've studied its principles, and via putting so many fields of learning together, I've been able to advance the knowledge of who I am and where do I come from--of who you are and where do you come from. I've been able to advance that knowledge light years into the future!

And I am now, via this website [as well as via my previous creations--books, magazines, video, lectures, seminars, etc]...I am now attempting to impart to you a greater understanding of the knowledge of your bodies and minds and of the universe within which you live, much more so than you might ever have imagined possible.

So who am I? I'm that eleven year old kid who once sat on my bicycle with two other kids my age as I looked up at the ominous appearance of a hospital and said, "One day I'm going to grow up and become a doctor and keep people out of that place." I'd always, ever since I could remember, hated the thought of people becoming sick and suffering and dying, and I'd always been determined to do something about it. Apparently, that 'feeling' within myself has motivated me all my life for I have always been and still am at it, despite the setbacks and tragedies I've personally experienced and suffered through all my life. Even now as I've found myself to be stricken with congenital heart disease and already came so close to dying from it...I feel even more motivated now.

...And so I have created this web site to help people everywhere. I am fed up with the mistruths and nonsense and dishonesty and otherwise well intentioned nonsense with regard to disease and health and aging which is routinely being fed to people everywhere.

So who am I? I am somebody, like you, who is different. I realized this a long time ago, but never so much as I have been coming to realize in recent times. Why do I appear to be aging at a fraction of the rate of most other people? I try to exercise regularly and eat the right foods most of the time which would lead one to believe that therein lies the answer, but it does not. I have discovered that a person could exercise 'till the hilt' and eat all the right foods and nevertheless not reap the age related benefits I have realized. Sure, they might look fit and good for their age. Their face might be tighter, their body more in shape. But especially at an older age, past forty or fifty, they would not be looking much younger. They might live a healthier life, less disease ridden, heartier and more robust, but by the time they were in their sixties and especially seventies they will have surely lost their look of youthfulness, even though they might look somewhat younger than their age.

The trick is not for someone to say, "You look good for your age," but rather not to be able to tell your age!

All this is not to say that exercise and proper intake of foods are not essential for youthfullness. For example, if I were to lead a lifestyle alien to what I have discovered is the proper lifestyle--with very different and markedly varied forms of exercise incorporating multitudes of body motions with and without resistance--and if I were to eat alien to the type of food intake, both in kind and amount, which I have discovered is proper to maintain my youthfulness, I would begin to deteriorate as rapidly as others do with age.

On ther other hand, if others were to learn and engage in the very same forms of exercise and food intake as I am speaking about, they would look good for their age and in shape and contract less disease, and be heartier than otherwise, but they would still be found to be aging at the usually rapid rate, close to what is customarily believed to be the case for people in general. By their fifties, sixties and especially by their seventies and beyond they will have lost the look of youth!

So what is the secret I have asked myself time and again? It's taken me over forty years to come to some tentative conclusions, but I now realize quite firmly that it all has something to do with the 'mind,' with the way one thinks and especially with the way one 'feels.'

I've always known there was something about this life we lead that does not meet the normal eye, that is missed by almost everyone. We see and feel and experience the physical world. We see people to be born and live and die, and we naively think that's all there is to it, to this life we live...to this life we 'feel'...for to live life we must always be feeling 'life' within our minds.

So the average person, blinded to the real truth of their unique existence lead robot-like lives, often doing the things in life they are expected and need to do. Eating, sleeping, creating, becoming schooled, having families, working to make money, and so on. And nothing wrong with that, with engaging in the necessities of life, and endeavoring to derive happiness from it all. But that's where our minds stop, thinking there is nothing more.

Poor pathetic creature is man who does not realize that his existence is so much more, and is thereby doomed by none other than such narrow-minded thinking to watch his body deteriorating and falling apart in a manner and at the rate at which he routinely thinks is pre-determined, inevitable, written in stone...unchangeable.

So who am I? Why am I so different? Why does my body appear so much younger than my age?

Of course, I've had an 'edge.' I've been studying 'aging' for over forty years, and actually even as a kid... throughout all my life. Perhaps that's how I figured it out, by the relentless perseverence of my studies. After all that time the odds were with me that I would eventually strike that unique form of gold...or riches...that can be measured only with that which we call 'life.'

At the age of 48, just before I made my total body transformation, I shaved off my beard which I had comforted in to conceal my double chin. And even though I remember having looked at myself in the mirror only to feel disgust at the unshapeliness of my body and the fatness of my face, I saw something else. You might not be able to tell from my before photo that despite my gluttonous appearance, my face did already look younger than my age. Like I said, you might not be able to see the same as I did by looking at my before photo, but that was the case. My face was already looking younger. So, even though I was embarrassed by the way I looked and shunned the camera's eye as my relatives, my brother in particular, jokingly chased me around the room to snap a photo of my face, I began to take some comfort in all this by saying to myself, "Despite the way I look, so overweight and dumpy, nevertheless I must admit...I do look younger than my age. At least I have that going for me!"

Little did I know at the time I had a lot...a lot more than just 'that,' than just 'looking younger.' Actually, I was looking at one of the most amazing keys to being able to offset many of the signs and symptoms of what is troutinely thought to be aging, and which I had suspected and had been trying to figure out all my life. I knew it had something to do with the way one lives and thinks and feels, and much less so with having inherited favorable genetics. Just take one look at my 'before' photo and it'll be obvious. When it came to my physical appearance, I wasn't blessed with good genes!

Actually, I'd always written about the 'mind' and about the way we 'think' and 'feel,' and how that can have such a profound effect on our physical bodies, on the diseases we get and on the way we look...and now I realize most amazingly, also on the way we age.

So who am I? I am a caring and sensitive human being. I cherish and love my family more than even life itself, and have always 'felt' that way throughout all my life. The bond of love to me was immutable. It could never be broken. It was the most powerful of forces in the universe. I didn't quite understand why, but I felt it to be the case, and I always have, even to this day.

And I've always 'felt' a very strong feeling for others who were not of my family, for friends and acquaintenances and strangers. If I were to see their unhappiness of mind or physical suffering, I could, in a very real sense, 'feel' their pain.

For me, to design to become a doctor to help others was no admirable thing. Actually, I had no choice, for to see their suffering as in disease or otherwise, my extremely sensitive nature struck me with the stark reality of their pain, not as real nor severe as theirs, and I would imagine of a lesser degree...but nevertheless, pain.

If my foot or arm or some other part of me is in pain, I am driven to relieve that pain. It is only natural. But what if a person were to feel someone else's pain? Would that person, 'feeling' the pain of another, then be so similarly driven to relieve that other person's pain so as to relieve his or her own, similar to the way a person would be driven to relieve a pain inflicted upon a person's own body?

I would dare say, in such a case--with such extreme sensitivity, which I would say is common to a certain segment of the people populating our planet...I would dare say, the act of trying to relieve another's pain is an act of selfishness of a unique kind not necessarily to be rewarded with accolades. After all, how could I not be driven to help another in pain when in fact I would be doing so to relieve my own pain, even though admittedly my own pain originated secondarily from them?

So who am I? I am a being who has spent his life driven to learn all there is to know about the nature of life on this planet and within this universe, with the intent to aid the lives of others striken not only with disease and suffering, but also with that which we call 'aging,' and which latter deteriorating state I have now learned more properly to categorize as a malady of the body...as a 'disease.'

There is an old saying, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto yourself." Although the flaws in this saying are obvious--such as that I might like something which another individual might hate, and vice versa--the intent of the saying is clear. Could it be that the very feeling one 'feels' swelling within oneself when one helps another...could it be that that very feeling has something to do with the way we age? And could it be that the feeling of love, which comes in all levels of intensity and degree...could it be that the very 'feeling' of love for others, which would motivate one to help others...could it be that that 'feeling' also has something to do with the way we age?

I have suspected and been studying this...and many feelings and states of mind...for years, trying to figure it all out. It might account for why a ninty-five year old weakened body of a person in a wheel chair might still have a youthfulness of mind, and even an unwrinkled smoothness of face. Perhaps that person had 'felt' what I would call 'the mind factor' throughout all their lives, despite their perhaps not having exercised nor eaten properly! Perhaps it is the 'mind factor' that kept them alive. And perhaps had they exercised properly and eaten the right foods but not felt 'the mind factor' all their lives...perhaps then they might not have lived so long!

I thought to myself, if this be the case, if a person innately thinks that certain way, having benevolent thoughts and feelings of mind...if such a person were to do all the other 'right' things, such as to incorporate into their lifestyle what I have learned to be proper methods of exercise and food intake...could it be that with all three factors working together--'the mind factor,' 'the motion factor,' and 'the food factor'...could it be that therein, via the combination of these factors...that therein lie one of the most profound of insights into the very nature of aging!

I'd always thought my extreme sensitivity was a weakness, the opposite of what one might think a strong person need be. Aye, there lies the rub, the irony of it all. What if sensitivity and caring for others is a biological feeling instilled within our very genes by nature, by our Creator, giving that senstive and 'feeling' person a 'biological edge' over others toward biological survival: more resistance to disease, less obvious effects of aging, and so on? Perhaps these very 'thoughts' and especially the corresponding 'feelings' within one's mind were genetically linked to the status of health and aging of the physical body!

And then the irony of ironies whn it comes to the inheritance of genes to offset aging. Perhaps--and I know this now quite likely to be the case...perhaps the lack of having inherited the genes toward 'feeling' these sensitive 'feelings' (of 'mind') is what can equate rather readily into the rapidity with which one's body deteriorates and leads to the decrepitude of old age!

And perhaps one who has the ability to break the bond of 'love' has been so destined to do so--to break those bonds--for lack of having inherited the proper genetic structure toward sensing that feeling (of love) very deeply. And perhaps by virtue of the weaked nature of this otherwise immnutable emotion (love), these same people would be seen to reel ever so much more rapidly than otherwise into the debilitation and run down appearances that are thought to be inevitable and to come with older age!

So who am I? I have now found out. I am an extremely sensitive person. I feel the pain of loved ones and of others, and as must be true of many other people on this planet, I was born that way by virtue of my inherited genetics.

...On the other hand, perhaps 'sensitivity,' and along with it 'compassion for others,' can also be learned. Perhaps the 'sensitivity genes' lie dormant in some people, only to be activated by the proper environmental influences. I don't really know. Or perhaps those people not born with the genetics toward manifesting these 'feelings' are biologically doomed to their ill fates.

But I would venture to say that anyone in their right mind would want to feel this extreme sensitivity, for it is this very sensitivity which ironically has given me great physical and emotional strength...

...And it has done so to such an extreme degree, that the very feelings of sensitivity--harnessed the right way as I have learned to do so over the years-- has rather effectively made a marked indent in the rate at which I have been aging! And it should be no different for others with similar feelings.

I have said a lot here, encompassing an understanding, like I said, of many different fields, from medicine, to a deep understanding of the mind, to the way the sciences of the universe work, to genetics and probabilities, and to combinations of factors working together, and to the life-promoting effectivenesss of the 'Biological Edge Theory' which I mentioned and published years ago in the middle 1980's, not to forget to mention motions of the body and food intake, and on an on.

This web site will attempt to put these ideas and fields of learning together, for it is only with your understanding and 'feeling' as to how they interrelate and work together wherein you will be able to reap the benefits I have realized, especially when it comes to aging.

Unfortunely, you can exercise till the hilt and eat all the right foods, but unless you have certain 'thoughts' and especially 'feelings' within your mind which genetically give you the 'biological edge' toward a longer and healthier life, you will 'age' pretty much just like everyone else, too rapidly and not in accordance with what is our inherited genetic right!

Poor pathetic creature is 'man' who does not realize the powerful life-promoting nature of these interrelations, nor understand how they all work. Hopefully, my web site will help to set you straight!
