Ray Kurzweil’s search for immortality has lead him down a technocratic path, from the investigation of what supplements humans should be taking to prolong ones life, the goal of being able to upload our mind/consciousness to cyberspace by the the end of the 2030’s – a move that must be made far easier in his capacity as the co-founder of Singularity University and a Director of Engineering at Google – and beyond.

Ray Kurzweil’s Mind-Boggling Predictions for the Next 25 Years
Here is Ray Kurzweil’s commentary on supplements for prolonging life:
“For boosting antioxidant levels and for general health, I take a comprehensive vitamin-and-mineral combination, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, grapeseed extract, resveratrol, bilberry extract, lycopene, silymarine (milk thistle), conjugated linoleic acid, lecithin, evening primerose oil (omega-6 essential fatty acids), n-acetyl-cystein, ginger, garlic, l-carnitine, pyrodoxal-5-phosphate, and echinacea.
I also take Chinese herbs prescribed by Dr. Glenn Rothfeld. For reducing insulin resistance and overcoming my type 2 diabetes, I take chromium, metformine (a powerful anti-aging medication that decreases insulin resistence and which we recommend everyone over 50 consider taking) and gymnema sylvestra.
To improve LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, I take policosanol, gugulipid, plant sterols, niacin, oat bran, grapefruit powder, psyllium, lecithine and lipitor.
To improve blood vessel health I take arginine, TMG and choline. To decrease blood viscosity I take daily baby aspirin and lumbrokinase. I reduce inflammination by taking EPA/DHA and curcumin.
I have dramatically reduced my homocystein level by taking folic acid, B6 and TMG.
I have a B12 shot once a week and take a daily B12 sublingual. Several of my intravenous therapies improve my body’s detoxification: weekly EDTA and monthly DMPS. I also take n-acetyl-carnitine orally.
I take weekly intravenous vitamins and alpha lipoic acid to boost antioxidants.
I do a weekly glutathione IV to boost liver health.
Perhaps the most important intravenous therapy I do is a weekly phosphatidylcholine IV, which rejuvenates all of the body’s tissues by restoring youthful cell membranes.
I also take PtC orally each day and supplement my hormone levels with DHEA and testosterone. I take I-3-C, chrysin, nettle, ginger and herbs to reduce the conversation of testosterone into estrogen.
I take a saw palmetto complex for prostate health.
For stress management I take l-theonine, beta-sitosterol, phosphatidylserine and green tea in addition to drinking 8 to 10 cups of green tea itself.
At bedtime I take GABA and sublingual melatonin.
For brain health I take acetyl-l-carnitine, vinprocetine, phosphatidylserine, ginkgo biloba, glycerylphosphatidylcholine, nextrutine and quercertin.
For eye health I take lutein and bilberry extract.
For skin health I use an antioxidant skin cream on my face, neck and hands every day.
For digestive health I take betaine HCl, pepsin, gentian root, peppermint, acidophilus bifodobacter, fructooligosaccharides, fish proteins, l-glutamine and n-acetyl-d-glucosamine.
To inhibit the creation of advanced glycolysated end products I take n-acetyl-carnitine, carnosine, alpha lipoic acid and quercertin.”
