Live Longer and Better tells the story of Christopher Burres, the cofounder of SES Research, Inc. in Houston, Texas, the nation’s largest manufacturer and supplier of scientific-grace carbon 60, as well as MyVitalC, a health supplement version of carbon 60 designed to extend your ability to live a vital, active life, regardless of your chronological age. The book tells the story of how Chris’s work with the Nobel Prize-winning scientists who discovered this miracle molecule made him revitalize his thinking—realizing that all of us can live an exciting life, longer and healthier than we ever imagined.

The story of Live Longer and Better begins with a dome and a molecule.The dome is the geodesic dome that R. Buckminster Fuller made famous. The molecule is carbon 60 (C60 or C 60 ), a nanosized molecule of sixty carbon atoms in a spheroid structure that resembles a geodesic dome. That carbon spheroid structure is known in chemistry as a buckyball. The family of closed-caged molecules, including C 60 , C 70 , C 76 , etc., are known as fullerenes, in homage to R. Buckminster Fuller’s genius.

In 2012, Professor Tarek Baati and Dr. Fathi Moussa of the Faculté de Pharmacie, Université Paris-Sud 11 in Châtenay-Malabry, France, along with a group of French-speaking colleagues in France and Tunisia, published a game-changing article in the scientific journal Biomaterials. Entitled “The prolongation of the lifespan of rats by repeated oral administration of [60] fullerene,” using for their controlled experiment carbon 60 Chris produced. Baati and his fellow researchers opened up worldwide the possibility that carbon 60 might have excellent health and life-extending properties for human beings.

“What if I told you that you could live to be 125 years old?” Burres asks. In Live Longer and Better, Burres shares the secrets he has learned in his quest to extend life productively. “I decided to reinvent myself, imagining how I could challenge the world’s longevity record” Burres explains. “We have written this book because we want to challenge you to do the same.”
