I mentioned the supposed anti-aging benefits to my bariatric doctor. She had never heard of it. Went to the eye doctor. He mentioned I was on it but my blood work didn’t look like I needed it. I said I wanted to stay on it for the anti-aging benefits. Got a blank look.
“Got a blank look.”
April 2020. Me - “Doc, what do you think of the COVID prophylaxis protocols? Quercetin, Zinc, Vit D3, Melatonin, and NAC? What about Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin? What do you think of those for prophylaxis.”
Doc, via messaging (I could just see the blank look or his corporate bosses breathing down his neck). “Do what CDC recommends.”
I felt like responding “You mean go to the hospital, get on a ventilator and wait to die?”
You know more about metformin than your Docs, because you did/do your research. Many Docs don't want to try new ways. They prefer to stay in their grove and make the big bucks. If they are able to. You were rocking the boat.
