I agree but for me a bridge to better health from improved lifestyle. My list was (a portion) of my real program but also intended to show that I think supplements and medications are a small piece of the long-term solution. I have the advantage of starting from a position of health. I work to provide signal to my body to adapt into what I want for my active life. I also provide the resources necessary, and try to avoid adding impediments. Rapamycin started as my only Hail Mary …the only thing I do for only longevity…but it confounded me by providing short term benefits.

Not sure what you are referring to.

  1. Rapa 5 mg weekly
  2. NAC, NMN, Areds2, Melatonin, PQQ ( keep eyesight- preventing my AMD from further progression)
  3. Lifestyle: walk, hike, camp, swim, gym machines, balanced meals with fish and greens, fiber, socialize, hobbies, limit alcohol strict 3 times a week, no smoking, dentist 2x a year
  4. CA, MG, K2, D3 ( prevent further osteoporosis)
  5. Reading and researching health topics, getting preventive ideas to maintain health into old age . That’s how I found rapa.

Statins can cause accidents in some people:

I remember when they came out (I don’t know, must be decades ago) and my doctor at the time said they saved lives from heart attack but at a conference he went to they said not all cause mortality because of accidents, homocide and suicide. Everybody had a good laugh. He said he read it a few times after that and now he thought it was real. I’m sure the pharma machine has produced a plethora of high quality studies since and it is no longer an issue. But drugs can cause accidents in some people.

Overall statins still lower all-cause mortality in the studies and in the real world. A few persons getting depression does not change that outcome.
Besides, some people have died from mundane things like kissing (Myriam Ducre-Lemay). As long as the risk does not outweigh the benefit, it really doesn’t matter and if you do get side effects, lower your statin dose or change to a different medication.

  1. Diet: Red meat and whale blubber when I can source it, never vegetables. Vegetables are dumb
  2. Hormones: Anabolic steroids, HGH, thyroid, etc. Gotta optimize bro
  3. Peptides: Untested, Russian, and Chinese made, sourced from the black market. These are key for health, who cares if big pharma dropped them because they were cancer causing in early trials
  4. Supplements: All of them. If Attia, Huberman, Patrick, or anyone on social media suggests a new supplement, I get onboard immediately so I do not miss out the benefits
  5. Vaccines: I never have had and never will get any vaccines. They are poison, a cash grab, and used by the government and industrial pharma complex to control the population.

I call these the “5 Tenets of Health and Longevity.” How many do you follow? Get onboard with all 5 if you want to see 120 with me.

I assumed you have been accepted by Semo. Anything new and interesting to share from the doctorly world of postings? Is there a rapamycin discussion there for longevity practice?

I am so far unimpressed with Sermo. A lot of advertising and emails. Not much longevity stuff. I’ll continue to explore. Rapamycin.news is better.

I would like to add to the longevity posts. A few items not mentioned that I do to keep my 80-year-old body in good condition. Is I use a PEMF mat two or three times a week, I have an ozone sauna two or three times a month, not enough, I have 35 g of vitamin C through IV every month, and I have Blood ozone exchange every month. I do not exercise, but I walk a great deal and play golf three times a week I use an Apollo wearable for sleep rather than take any drugs or supplements. I am starting Rappin again after a two month break. I am only going to take one milligram a week for three months and then check my blood sugar because I am prediabetic. I only buy organic food and clean my produce aggressively before eating…
I have macular degeneration, which has been stable for at least seven years, and in fact, it has improved recently through meditation and peptides, at least that is what I think has improved my eyesight because I can now wear prescription glasses, which I have not been able to do for at least 14 years I am a big believer in meditation, I visualize being able to see well enough to drive, it was only recently that I had to have someone tell me where my ball was playing golf however, this has changed and I can now see my ball and do not need help . I would like to say I have been very impressed with reading all the members protocol for staying young and learned a great deal from it so I would like to thank you all.

This was a good paper. Thanks. I have been too focused on soluble fiber.

Two interventions have had a profound effect on my sleep quality.
Ear plugs: Unwanted sounds that don’t even wake you up can affect sleep quality.
Mouth taping to prevent breathing through the mouth. I know this seems bizarre to some, but slipping into mouth breathing causes me to have a dry mouth which wakes me up to sip water.
Because I didn’t discover these two interventions until later in life, I unnecessarily did not get the sleep quality I could have had when I was younger.

This. But also extrapolated to waking hours. One of the least talked about ‘epidemics’ (put in quotes because it’s not seen as an epidemic) is noise pollution. We talk about air pollution, water pollution, mind virus pollution, food pollution, street pollution, but literal sound wave pollution is little discussed (people sometimes talk about light pollution in the context of say, Las Vegas). Sure, we might not be getting ear canal cancers, but one only has to go into the remote backcountry or unspoiled nature to feel what the absence of noise pollution can do to heal the soul.

These days, due to often using some form of noise blocking solution when I’m around a lot of noise, I notice how sensitive and attuned I am to the sound of cars, gears, machines, metal banging, and all the sounds produced by modernity. It is akin to resetting your baseline for what ‘normal’ is.

Me too, it has effected my sleep because I got covid which left me with a slight dry cough so I couldn’t tape up my mouth , I will go back to that tonight as I’m not coughing much, another thing I do, like you is wear ear plugs and I wear a very wide soft eye mask , this all gives me a a great nights sleep
