Durk Pearson And Sandy Shaw were the folks who started the whole amino
acid as drug/therapy thing.  Their LIFE EXTENSION books are starting to
age, but they do put out a current newsletter on such research.  I don't
know if they are on the money or safe but you might want to write them
at:

	Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw's Life Extension Newsletter,
	PO Box 92996,
	Dept. NF,
	LA, California

if you learn anything interesting let us know!
