Friend of Chris Heward, Friend of Your Own Life Extension

November 8th, 2008 by H+ Administrator

Chris Heward of Kronos Science Laboratories is a well-known researcher in life extension and transhumanist circles. He was recently diagnosed with cancer with little hope of surviving more than one year. There is currently no cure for this type of cancer.

However, there is hope, and with your support not only Dr. Heward but all of us could benefit from a research project using Leukocyte Infusion Therapy (LIFT). More information about this project at Kronos can be found here. You just might discover that you have natural cancer resistance while participating in this groundbreaking research project!
