- A must ow for anyone looking to tur back the clock
I own a lot of books on this subject and can tell you without a doubt this one is ranked #1 on my list. You will see the tremendous effects of these exercises the first 6 months. THIS BOOK IS A 6 STAR

- 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.

- 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 widely discredited by universities repeatedly, but can actually be harmful.

Reading this book reminds me of the astonishment of an Indian physician recalling the pilgrimages of the wealthy international celebrities to visit India in the `60s. He stated that the number of people coming to one of the most backward ares of the globe to throw money at the feet of gurus whose malarky was mocked by their own people never ceased to amaze him. The modern Ponce De Leons who follow these "spiritual" practices will find their "ancient wisdom" here the same superstitious garbage it always has been.

- On a roll
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 Tibetan exercises" and said he'd be doing them the rest of his life. Knowing him, I know that he will. So he told me about the book, which I then ordered from Amazon, as well as book 2.
I've been doing the exercises, or rites going into my 4th week. I feel great. It had been months since I'd been doing a regular workout and I had become rather soft, with a little roll around my waist. Had dimples in my knees and thighs. Being about 10 or so pounds overweight didn't help either. Now I look forward to doing the rites, and am at 11 repetitions. My sugar (cookies) addiction has fallen away as well as dimples. Even my roll has lessened. Actually the rites have spurred me on to do 3 other exercises which I used to do before. One is the Pliaz which is great for circulation and tightening the thighs, plus one for the roll and sometimes squats. Just because I feel like it!
This is an easy to read book, with pictures of the 5 exercises, with explanations.
I'm looking forward to increasing vitality and tone, as well as the mental/emotional benefits of feeling great.

- 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 of Kelder's original.

I theorize that Colonel Bradford may have been Major-General Sir Wilfrid Malleson who was a British intelligence officer. I can't say for certain that Bradford was Malleson, but it is very likely that Colonel Bradford was deeply involved in the "Great Game" in which Great Britain and Russia were striving to bring Tibet under their influence.

=========================================
xraylionel's original post:

When I read this book it triggered my memory; about 3 0r 4 decades ago I came across a similar book with a similar title. I remember that it was dated 1946. The date was easy to remember because that was the year I returned to civilian life.

The statement that Colonel Bradford travelled to Tibet in the 1930s is probably correct. After September 1939 Colonel Bradford would have been returned to active duty: and after 1946 with the partition of India it would have been impossible to make this kind of trip.

With the rank of Colonel and knowledge of languages, Colonel Bradford could have been in British Army Intelligence. On the other hand the Germans made 2 scientific trips to Tibet in the 1930s. Educated Europeans tend know many languages, so Colonel Bradford may have been a German officer.

If anyone has any information on Colonel Bradford please post it.

The exercises look very interesting. They seem similar to some of the physical therapy exercises that I do. I am modifying my schedule to include these.
