Editorial Review:
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.

Rating:  - A Youthful Body is Attainable
I have ready many books that claim they have the secret to youth and they have all fallen short, until now! The Tibetan Llamas have revealed their well kep secrets and if you would like to know how to appear and feel more youthful, then you definately want to buy this book.
Rating:  - Exercises Beneficial, Metaphysics Ludicrous
The Fountain of Youth contains five beneficial exercises within the reach of most people. Unfortunately, this material could be reduced to a single web page. The rest of the book is padded with the well worn path of Eastern metaphysics. In other words, the majority is gross superstitions systematized to seduce the ignorant. It contains the standard promises to the gullible which range everywhere from becoming a "Superman" to restoring hair growth. The dietary practices advocated have not only been ... Read More

A couple of months ago, I met up with a friend who is quite a physical guy, but in the last 10 years, his age was catching up with him, as is mine, both of us just being over 60. While we were talking, I noticed how lovely and clear his skin was, with a glow to him. When we went outside, I saw he'd lost his bloat. He is a muscular solid guy, but like many of us, he had a fullness around his middle. I tapped him on the belly, and remarked that he'd lost some weight. "Yes" he said, "I've been doing five ...

Rating: - Response to xraylionel about Colonel Bradford
xraylionel,
You may very well be correct in your surmise that Colonel Bradford was an intelligence officer in the British Army. And you are correct about there being a 1946 edition of this book. It was entitled "The Eye of Revelation" and expanded upon the 1939 edition. I found a copy of the 1946 a few years ago and have republished it as a means of perserving the original text (which would be tragic to lose) and to correct the many revisions other editors have introduced in their versions ...

Rating: - Fountain of Youth
I currently do exercises and people think I am 20 years younger than my age. This book's exercises will be an addition to my current program of stretching and yoga. I highly recommend this book to anyone who will faithfully do the few exercises in the book - the results will become your reality.
