Great article, PL1. Thanks for posting it.

Actually, I disagree with one point made in the article: I think much of this data is already ready to use in a direct clinical manner, especially in the application of preventive medicine, orthomolecular medicine, etc. One nonprofit organization that provides a lot of free information about such things is the Life Extension Foundation -- www.lef.org . There's more info than that out there, too, but it takes a lot of digging to find it all. There's a lot of resistance to a lot of these things, in many circles, mainly due to money interests and biases -- if it's not taught to a doctor in medical school, he/she may be reluctant to trust it or even to look into it, etc. At least, average doctors seem to be rather backward, in this sense, and in some others. When pharma money interests run the curriculum, it's no wonder we see bias, and lots of useful technology severely under-utilized.

> "Such information is not now and may not ever be ready to use in a direct clinical manner, but that does not mean that it isn't incredibly important information," says Evans.
