The Anti-Aging Plan: Strategies and Recipes for Extending Your Healthy Years
November 30, 2009 at 8:24 pm
I want my money back! Dr. Walford touts himself as an anti-aging guru. But I am shocked to discover an exposé by the magazine of the American Assoc. of Retired Persons (AARP). The article pointed out that this so-called anti-aging guru who claims he will live to 120 cannot even walk in his seventies.
Walford is a total invalid! And I checked the old mail on the CR (caloric restriction) list and discovered many members of the list were shocked when that story came out.
Dr. Walford should have had the decency to give us a FULL DISCLOSURE of his physical condition in this and his other book, of which this is a rehash. So we can decide whether to buy his books or not. I would not if I had known.
He claims of course it has nothing to do with his interpretation of how CR should be done. But I am not at all persuaded. I have concluded he is doing CR wrong. And that we follow his prescription at our own risk.
It’s obvious many of the “rave” reviews here are from a few members of his small but very cultic mailing list. They will never tell you this shocking fact — that their anti-aging life-extension guru Dr. Walford cannot even walk! That he is doing worse than most seventy-somethings who shovel down all the calories!
Well, I feel totally deceived. And stunned! I want my money back! This is completely unethical. It is deceptive advertising to say the least. Go to AARP website and find that article in their archive or ask them for it. And read for yourself about Dr. Walford’s shocking physical state.

In case you are about to buy Walford’s book and practice Caloric Restriction as preached by him, consider today’s (Nov. 32, 2003) New York Times article by David Hochman which reveals that Walford is dying.
According to Times story, “By almost anyone’s standards, Dr. Roy L. Walford is an old man. At 79, he is confined to an electric wheelchair and his voice is so weak, he speaks into a microphone wired to a small tabletop amplifier…Dr. Walford…is..dying…”
If you really want to retard aging and extend your lifespan, why model yourself on a failed anti-aging guru? Someone who is prematurely dying?
Don’t be conned by the uncritical reviews by Walford’s little sect of true believers.
Check out The ImmorTalist Manifesto: Stay Young & Save the World” on Amazon. This is not a diet book. But it will lead you to The Elixxir Program.
Elixxir has been called “the only anti-aging guru who has actually stayed young.” (Investor’s Business Daily)
So if you’re like me, you would rather model yourself on an anti-aging guru who’s not prematurely old and dying, but one who has stayed young!
The Elixxir Program cuts out all the needless puritanism and self-deprivation and abstinence from wine, etc. in Walford’s regimen. And leaves in what is scientific and what works.
P.S. Walford’s condition is sad and tragic. But it is absolutely unethical and probably legally liable for him to not reveal this in his books. So that you can take it into consideration. So your choice is Walford or Elixxir?

I tried to learn Caloric Restriction by reading this and other books by Dr. Walford. It did not work! Unless you are unlike 99.99% of the population in how and what you eat, this book will never, never teach you how to do Caloric Restriction!
But I learned how to stay young and live longer through The Elixxir Program. It uses Caloric Restriction as its scientific foundation but turns it into something doable, livable, even pleasurable. It is beyond CR, really! This guy Elixxir has been on the program for almost 25 years, much longer than Walford. Elixxir looks much younger than his age! I have seen him up close! (Walford looks older than his age, sad to say.)
Read The Immortalist Manifesto, available on Amazon, and you will get excerpt and information about The Elixxir Program at the end.
As Marilyn Much of Investors’ Business Daily writes “Elixxir is the only anti-aging guru who has actually stayed young!”

A devastating exposé in a recent issue of Modern Maturity reveals that Roy Walford is so enfeebled that he cannot walk. He is only 76. Most 76 year olds can walk a few steps on their own.
This important fact demands full disclosure in all of Walford’s books. Why has not Dr. Roy Walford revealed it so we can decide if we want to buy his book and his regimen? To hide this fact is at the very least unethical on his part, and on the part of his publisher. So Buyer Beware!
I believe the scientific evidence is abundant that caloric restriction can retard aging and extend life. So obviously Dr. Walford has either not really been on it, or has not done it right!
I for one am not interested in an anti-aging guru who grows old faster, more horribly, than normal people on a junk diet.

An interesting and thought provoking book on the benefits and parameters of calorie restriction. Best read in conjunction with other books on nutrition and biogerontology/aging, especially “The Zone” series of books by Dr. Barry Sears. Easy to read, but a little limited in it’s perspective.
