it says "...A LITTLE stress is all it took to make new life from old..." which makes me wonder if there is a way to 'stress' all the cells in my body to reverse the aging process (short of turning me into a hideously giant embryo/baby ) thus stop me dieing of old age by making me young again?

Woody Allen 🙂

That quote continues as "I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment. "

It looks like they are backtracking on this since no one else seems to be able to reproduce the effect.

Maybe the other experimenters who saw the bit about acid thought they were using LSD?
