Book Description
Legend has it that hidden in the remote reaches of the Himalayan mountains lies a secret that would have saved Ponce de Leon from years of fruitless searching. There, generations of Tibetan monks have passed down a series of exercises with mystical, age-reversing properties. Known as the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation or the Five Rites, these once-secret exercises are now available to Westerners in Ancient Secret of the Fountain Of Youth. Peter Kelder's book begins with an account of his own introduction to the rites by way of Colonel Bradford, a mysterious retired British army officer who learned of the rites while journeying high up in the Himalayas. Fountain of Youth then offers practical instructions for each of the five rites, which resemble yoga postures. Taking just minutes a day to perform, the benefits for practitioners have included increased energy, weight loss, better memory, new hair growth, pain relief, better digestion, and just feeling younger.

Truly life changing!.......2007-10-07
I purchased this book over 9 years ago and quickly began doing the rites faithfully. Over the years I have performed them off and on, faltering as my schedule became busy. Now I am back to performing them daily, because over the years I have identified them as the single most important factor that has contributed to maintaining my ideal body weight. During my last spell away from the rites, I gained 30 pounds and felt sluggish all the time. I came across my book and began performing the rites again consistently and I dropped 20 pounds within 6 weeks. After about 6 months of consistent performance, I have lost the entire 30 pounds that I gained and I look and feel great. I am often asked what I have done to lose the weight and I always share this book with anyone who asks. It doesn't happen overnight, but if you perform these rites faithfully, you will see results. The great thing is that even when you have worked up to 21 reps of each rite, they can still be easily performed in under 20 minutes. Added benefits of long term commitment are incredible flexibility, increased energy, and an overall state of wellness.
This book saved my life.......2007-10-05
After my Father passed away I was looking through his books. Amoung them I found The Ancient Secret. I was curious so I tried it. I just did three of each of the rites for a long time. That takes maybe about five minutes. Each time I would do them I would notice a sense of well being that was not present otherwise. I had had cancer for a while, so that sense of well being was very important. After increasing them to 21 I haven't been sick except for two times when I stopped doing them for a while. Both times the changes in my health were dramatic and life threatening. I love doing them so it is a real pleasure to save my life by practicing the five rites. They are not like other excercises that make you tired. These simple excercises give me energy from the moment that I begin to do them.
Wonderful read-practice.......2007-08-23
The practice of the rites was recommended to me by a very dear friend who offered to loan me their book... Glad I immediately ordered mine! The practice of the rites is something I am working up to, as I am VERY out of shape, but I am confident that I will be able to perform them, and I am already seeing benefit, after 1 month. I also recommend the second book, which I ordered at the same time.
The information contained in this book changed my life........2007-08-17
I am so grateful to have been told about this book. I tell everyone I know about it. The commitment is so minimal and the reward to so great.
Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 1.......2007-07-27
Anyone who has wondered about the secrets of youth should do well by reading this book and focusing on a new reality inside the human body: the power of our vital glands. In the East, these are called "chakras" and they are thought to be energy-producing and energy-absorbing centers. The story, the exercises, the advice, and the claims posted by many people on the strength of tangible results, should not be overlooked. Simplicity here, is the key to an awesome power which lies within ourselves.

Book Description
Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.
Very Interesting.......2007-03-07
It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description
Finally, the exciting and long-awaited sequel to one of the biggest health and healing bestsellers of all time has arrived.
When Peter Kelder's
Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth was released by Harbor Press in 1985, it immediately touched off an incredible sales phenomenon rivaled only by
The Celestine Prophecy and
Conversations with God. In this book, readers were introduced to the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, a series of exercises developed over centuries in the monasteries of Tibet and credited by thousands for everything from increased energy to better memory, weight loss, and just looking and feeling younger.
Almost as quickly as the books filtered across the globe, letters began to pour in to Harbor Press requesting more information on these mysterious rites. Now, more than ten years and two million books later, comes a comprehensive companion volume that addresses the unanswered questions of so many readers.
Picking up where Kelder's book left off,
Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth, Book 2 provides the complete Fountain of Youth health program, with detailed information on a variety of topics discussed only fleetingly in the original bestseller: the history and origins of the Five Rites, valuable insights about how the Rites work, diet suggestions, and easy-to-follow exercises. Illustrated with fifty black-and-white photographs, this guide will help turn back the hands of time, invigorating and energizing readers' lives as never before.

WONDERFUL MUST HAVE!!!.......2007-09-18
I got the book and I've been doing it for a week feel great sleep deep and have lots of energy buying 10 for my whole family for christmas A MUST HAVE!!!!
A complete package for health.......2007-09-10
Although I haven't as of yet begun the exercises, since I just finished the book, I am looking forward to them. The book gives me hope that I can reduce some, if not all, of the pain and fatigue that I feel. I am already familiar with eating combined; I wholeheartedly agree with the book that it relieves heartburn and helps with weight loss. I feel it's a complete package for health, and I can't wait to get started on the exercises.
Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth Book 2.......2007-07-27
This book is a must for health lovers and people who want to take action in caring for themselves. Together with Book 1, the comments from various specialists help round out the picture of "whole health" steps and actions that is missing from many health regimes nowadays.
A good supplement to Book 1, but not absolutely necessary to everybody........2007-06-27
This book was written fairly recently and it is exactly what is says: a companion to book 1. It has today's perspetive of specialists on the rites and teaching of Colonel Bradford, but it is not necessary. But if you have serious difficulty executing certain of the rites in Book 1, this one will give you some easier alternatives -which of course were not in the original teachings- but might be beneficial as well. Since I am performing the original rites I have no reason to replace them with any other exercises. But overall, this is also a good book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learning some more info on nutrition.
Good read.......2007-05-12
This book was recommended to me at a woman's retreat. When reading it I thought, Yea Sure! and Pigs fly too! But they were good exercises so I decided to do them. After Two weeks or so I started to see a change in my body and I felt good. I don't know if i'm getting young but I see enough results to keep doing them everyday.

An Old Water Fountain With Secrets From the Past........2005-05-12
In FOUNTAIN OF SECRETS, we meet Persephone who lives in isolation on an island burdened with a secret she is unwilling to tell anyone, even the English nobleman, Gavin, just landed on this paradise. On the island nation of Akora in 1837, he is hiding his own secret, the volcano is ready to erupt and he must save this strong-willed recluse. The present danger threatens to destroy the destiny of this beautiful island.
As they worked together, she discovered that his mother had been an Akoran princess rescued by an English Earl. Is it their destiny to follow in the same footsteps, or will the 'sins of the past' prevent them from love and happiness. It seems they inherited an ancient legacy which will keep them apart. Or, will they be able to overcome the differences fate has put in their lives -- has fate forgotten them? Now, this is the kind of story Zachary Adrian could write.
Since there is no photo or author information on this writer, I am wondering if she has a non deplume. FOUNTAIN OF DREAMS was the first in this trilogy (about Amelia and Niels on a dangerous mission). FOUNTAIN OF FIRE (about Clio and William) completed this series. Sounds like Rosemary Rogers to me. Earlier, she had written a Medieval trilogy about Akora including DREAM ISLAND, KINGDOM OF MOONLIGHT, and CASTLES IN THE MIST.
Another enjoyable story of Akora.......2003-09-03
Gavin Hawkforte, heir presumptive to the English earl of Hawkforte is also half Akoran through his mother, the Princess Kassandra (from the author's 5th book "Kingdom of Moonlight"). Though his destiny is in England, his heart has always been in Akora. Being of a logical and scientific bent of mind, he has been spending many months making geological surveys of the various islands that make up Akora. He, along with the Vanax Atreus, ruler of Akora (and Gavin's uncle) have become concerned that the volcano that nearly decimated Akora centuries ago has again reawakened. While taking measurements on the uninhabited island of Deimos, he encounters a young woman who has been living their alone (since the death of her mother) and who has also observed the changes in the island's geology - much to Gavin's surprise. What is this intelligent, independent (not to mention beautiful) young woman doing living on this desolate island all alone? She presents a mystery that Gavin is determined to solve.
Persephone has never seen such a handsome warrior. Not that she has lived in total isolation, as she has traveled to the other islands of Akora as well as to the capital city of Illius to the great library in the palace. She had intended to go to Illius to share her geological observations with the Vanax and his council, but this prince of Akora has come to her. And now, he asks her to return with him to Illius to help convince the council that action must be taken to evacuate Akora in the event of an imminent eruption. While she will do all she can to save Akora, she is reluctant to share anything about herself with Gavin. What if he should find out about her disgrace? Would he stop looking at her with such warmth in his eyes?
As they work together to convince the council, as well as the Akoran people, they fall for one another. But is their love doomed by the imminent threat or by the diverse destinies each believes awaits them? Though a little light on plot, the lead couple are engaging and likable - which was a relief from me, as I have never particularly warmed-up to the Hawkforte men. Gavin's father Royce (KoM) and their distant ancestor Hawk from 2nd book "Believe in Me" were both a bit too humorless, authoritarian and autocratic for me (Hawk less so than Royce). But luckily, the same cannot be said of Gavin. He's smart, logical, warm and even has a sense of humor! Another enjoyable story of Akora from Ms. Litton. I look forward to cousin Clio's story Fountain of Fire, the last in this trilogy.
Lots of Romance and Adventure - Couldn't put it Down!.......2003-08-13
This is a "can't-put-it-down" book. It's the 5th in a series. Read them all! They are set in the early 1800's and deal much with historical England and the invented island country of Akora. It's a wonderful mix of culture with lots of romance and adventure. I hope she writes many more.
fun tour of reading duty at Akora.......2003-08-03
In 1837, Akoran aristocrat Gavin Hawkforte travels to the deserted island of Deimatros where Deilos the traitor tried to murder the prince's parents. However, he is shocked to be greeted by a woman with a pistol. Persephone informs him that she lives on Deimatros. She asks why he is here and he responds that he has come to conduct measurements of geological points to compare to a century old survey. Persephone in turn explains that the three millennia dormant volcano that once destroyed much of the Akoran archipelago is awakening.
As she takes him into a cave still open to him show the lava flow, Persephone says she lived here most of her life with her self-exiled mother, who died a few years ago. As Gavin and Persephone work together to try to stop a natural disaster from happening, they fall in love. However, she has a secret concerning her lack of family that makes it impossible for anything permanent to occur between them once he learns the truth.
Though another tour of reading duty at Akora may seem tedious with the fifth trip to the island paradise, Josie Litton keeps it fresh with a twist that brings the series full circle (though the next tale seems already set up). The story line focuses on to how to stop or impede the upcoming natural disaster almost as much as it does on the historical romance between the lead protagonists. Fans of Akora and those Xenos among the audience will appreciate another Akoran stamp on their passport even if it is mostly a return to the deserted isle of the caves.

The complete Fountain of Youth health program, with detailed information on the history and origins of the Tibetan Five Rites of Rejuvenation (exercises designed to foster youthfulness, improve memory, and reduce weight), diet suggestions (specifically vegetarian), and easy-to-follow exercises. 50 photos.
Book Description
Using today's most leading-edge therapies and breakthroughs in the science of longevity, a pioneering holistic physician shows how we can healthfully age to one hundred, and beyond.
By following commonsense habits, we can expect an average lifespan of one hundred years. Adding the life-enhancing effects of natural DHEA restoration, stress reduction, meditation, reduced caloric intake, and a range of mind/body techniques may, however, give us another forty years of active, healthy living. Therein lies the available "fountain of youth." These are the conclusions of Dr. C. Norman Shealy after a long career in medicine and, in recent years, as one of the leading spokesmen of alternative medical treatments.
The result of years of clinical practice and research, Youthful Aging also exposes the fallacies behind many of the claims of the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry. These two groups, says Shealy, rather than increasing people's life expectancy, create the opposite effect, consigning hundreds of thousands of people to an often miserable and premature old age. As a counterpoint, this revealing book provides the most ambitious-yet medically grounded and practical-longevity program available.

Throughout Dr. Shealy's book, he continuously touts his products. After a while, the repetitious branded names of the SheLi TENS, Dr. sHEALy's Essentials tablets, Dr. sHEALy's Youth Formula tablets and his Biogenetics Magnesium Lotion makes his book sound more like an infomercial than authentic informative research. Whenever there is product pushing involved in a book like this an alarm of caution should immediately sound. There should be cause for concern that findings may be created or embellished as a way of selling them instead of providing accurate research and truthful information.
The cleansing Doctor.......2006-05-24
Dr Shealy is among the very, very few modern-day MDs who understand, acknowledge, and practice the role of dietary cellular cleansing in disease. And this book is no exception. While he gives great clues as to how people grow successfully old and how we can, too, there are dietary and external tips for keeping the cells cleansed and the metabolic waste moving throughout the entire book. It's a central theme in his work. During his book tour this past week, Shealy was asked by a reporter for one quick tip (to staying old). His cell-cleansing response? "If you want a single health habit that will help everyone, it's 20 to 30 minutes of sitting in a sauna or soaking in a hot tub. Even a hot bath. It reduces your stress and you sweat away toxins."
Shealy's approach to health was highlighted by one of the ending statements he said in a live presentation I saw him give back in 1997. It struck such a nerve that I wrote it down then, and quoted it 4 years later in my first book. He said: "The next great advance in the health of the American people will come not from hospitals or laboratories, but from what people will learn to do for themselves."
I still have not found a better creed by which to live.

Low risk, high return potential.......2004-09-13
I have been doing these exercises for 4 years (almost everyday). I've never been sick, have plenty of energy, have practically no gray hair, and many people tell me I look at least 8 years younger.
I do not agree with the reader who said "if these exercises were as good as they claim the whole world would be doing them". For years the medical community has been saying we should eat 5 or 6 servings of fruits and vegetables to prevent cancer and heart disease. How many people do you know who actually do it?
I can't say for sure my good health is caused by these exercises because there are others things I do such as: I walk and hike a lot, I drink lots of water, use sun block, don't smoke, and drink alcohol very rarely (haven't stick to all those vegetables yet).
To know if these exercises really work, we would have to do a control experiment. There is no other way to know for sure but a scientific experiment to separate the variables. (Too bad we can't make rats do the exercises!!)
Meanwhile, the book is inexpensive, there are very few risks and potential for high return. But, like others readers, I am open to and still waiting for "miracles". I am waiting for my perfect vision. Best to all,
This book is wonderful........1998-05-25
I read this book only one week ago,and started the rites.My energy went up,and in only four days I lost four pounds. I have worked out for years and nothing that I have done in the past has equalled this or made me fill this good. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to look and feel better.
