Dr Brad Stanfield notes that metabolism goes into steep decline after about age 60. Simultaneously age related disease go straight up in the other direction.

He therefor surmises that supplements that improve metabolism have the best chance of improving defensive mechanisms against age related diseases.

His top five list consists of 1. NR nicotinamide riboside 2. Melatonin 3. Glutathione precurer L cysteine OR NAC 4. Glutathione precurser L serine (which converts to glycine) 5. Hyerleronic Acid.

He mentions that L carnitine may have a role in treating non alcholic fatty liver disease. (If you have a big gut--then likely you have a fatty liver.)

He also mentions sulpheraphane psyllium husk fisetin, metfomin, creatine.

He doesn't include vitamin c vitamin d, zinc, omega 3 because he believes he can get enough from diet.

As a knock on, he says that when these supplements are used in concert they significantly downgrade covid symptoms.

I heard that guy on Coast to Coast. He is the real deal. He also endorsed Fenbendazole for cancer aka the infamous Joe Tippens dog dewormer. I see a Fenbendazole powder seller on eBay. $20

One of the world’s largest manufacturers of Fenbendazole is in Ukraine

Anecdotes are data. At least for me.

Very good on the D3! Get those D3 levels high!
D3 is best absorbed with a meal that has animal or veg fats in it
OR
Take your D3 + K2 with some cod liver oil. I do this often. Do this on an empty stomach.

Jarrow OptiMSM works even better than Glucosamine-Condroitin

“metfomin” is an Rx for Type 2 Diabetes, not a supplement.”

There are longevity experts such as David Sinclair (youtube) who do take metformin as a supplement.

The problem with scientific studies is that even in the prestige journals, many if not most studies are so riddled with statistical manipulations, errors, bias, and logical fallacies as to be unreliable. The data and details needed for replication and proper evaluation are also often withheld from outside scrutiny -- a gross breach of scientific protocol.

Although positive results tend to be reliable, negative reports on diet and supplements should especially be taken with skepticism. After all, almost all medical journals and professional organizations are stuffed fat with cash from drug companies. A slew of valid positive reports on the curative value of diet and supplements would cost the drug companies billions of dollars in the size of the market for their wares.

Several times over the years, I read press reports about a medical study that had results that seemed so out of line as to provoke my curiosity enough that I got the study and picked it apart apart. Vitamin E, for example, was supposedly debunked in one study -- but hidden deep in the end notes was the name of the company that manufactured the Vitamin E tested. It was an artificial form of Vitamin E that was studied, which is chemically different from and well known to be inferior and sometimes harmful in its effects in comparison to natural Vitamin E. The negative results in the study were utterly predictable, but the essential fact of what was form of Vitamin E was being studies was tucked away in detail that not one reader in a thousand would have noticed.

Similarly, the tobacco companies and the maker of Oxycodone, Purdue Pharma, got hit with massive liability because they spent vast sums cooking up phony studies and getting them published. No one though has pursued the crooked authors, peer reviewers, and journal publishers who put the studies out before the medical community. Pesticide and plastics manufacturers are also notorious for thuggishly suppressing studies and threatening researchers who report negative effects from their products. And the epic chicanery and bare-knuckled tactics used to hide the drawbacks and dangers of the COVID vaccines have made billions for Big Pharma but done great damage to the credibility of the entire enterprise.

The virtual stop to your prostate cancer has a medical explanation. Unlike orderly normal cells, cancer cells tend to be a wild, hot, evolving mess, putting everything into growth and spread with the genetic and metabolic regulators and controls of normal cells absent or inactive. Daughter cells are often ridden with errors in replication that make for a constantly shifting therapeutic target as new genes are introduced, deleted, activated, or suppressed.

Some prostate cancers are an exception though, being so genetically stable and slow growing (the medical term is indolent) that they do not need aggressive therapy. That may explain your good fortune -- but I can offer no explanation as to why you specifically have that good fortune other than that you and your cleverness and discipline have been rewarded by Grace. To which I add my humble prayers and best wishes.

My cancer was considered to be very aggressive when diagnosed. Every man’s prostate cancer is different.Other than the grace of God, I do not have any genetic that would make my cancer to be more difficult to treat.

I don’t trust Big Pharma. I don’t think the movie, “The Fugitive “ was entirely fiction.

I also didn’t take any of thr vaccines for the same reasons.

One woman took 180000iu D3 daily and within 3 months her toenail fungus was gone. Toenail fungus is a bear to get rid off. Matter of fact, what she said got me on my D3 kick

Cancer is similar enough to a fungus. In my book your high D3 intake was big factor in getting rid of cancer.

I am not rid of cancer. There is no cure for metastatic prostate cancer; but I believe taking around 18,000 iu of Vitamin D is helping to keep it from progressing.

Are you sure your friend is taking 180,000 iu? That is a toxic level.

30 year old Dr from New Zeeland. Might be a salesman type. Here is his full stack of supplements that he says he personally takes: https://drstanfield.com/my-supplements/

It includes collagen, which provides absolutely no benefit (sorry ladies.)

Personally, I’d look to Drs. David Sinclair or Rudolph Tanzi

The body can accumulate vitamin a. Some foods have a lot of vitamin a. Many companies add it to foods. Because of that, I expect that studies will find that taking vitamin a supplements is harmful.

My mom is 93...her "supplement"?

(as Clint would say)

...sugar...a lot of sugar.

She lives in a senior complex that HAD(all gone now)active/skinny/well-medicated seniors that(mind you)all lived into their 80's, but for most their later years were spent filled with debilitating ailments and physicians.

If you ask her what her "secret" to longevity is...she'll tell you...eat healthy, exercise staying away from doctors.

My understanding is that 60-90 ng/ml are optimal. Why do you say 75 ng/ml is the specific target. Is your point that that’s the average of 60 and 90?

I had my d3 levels tested recently they were 68 ng/ml. I have been taking 10iu per day. Morning and evening. sounds like you recommend all in the morning. I get that morning corresponds with sun and circadian rythm. but then you d3 levels go down during the evening. Is your point that that’s natural? And further than you want your melatonin levels to go up as d3 goes down?

Olive Leaf extract; Black Elderberry extract (also available as Sambucus or Sambucol); and Black Walnut Hull extract;

What is the difference between HIGH C and regular C. I’ve read recently that its best to take timed release C. Never heard of HIGH C.

How much melatonin do you take.

I take COQ10 because I’m taking a statin. My understanding is that the body produces enough COQ10 if you don’t take a statin. Do you understand differently?

Why do you take L-argenine?
