Life extension theraphies and more

[Yodean]

little challenge for you, begin in standing position with legs apart, and slowly join more and more the legs. I begin and finish all my workouts with this posture. Its an important posture in kungfu and qigong

@stefk:

I added this to the "Queen & Prince Asana" Flow:



I call it the "Little King Asana."

I can't do the real "King of the Asanas."

Do you think the Little King will give most of the benefits of the real King?

I believe that yoga and all these other practices serve to cut down stressor hormones, So if you combine them with biochemistry you can extend the quality of your life. There is a vast difference between being alive and existing and living. Most people simply exist.

So far the results from Alpha-lipoic acid injections combined with Vit C are quite interesting. Interesting as in good. I am adding L-carnitine to the protocol. My liver enzymes AST and ALT were always good now they are almost at perfect levels.

NAD+ and glutathione are other supplements that hold a lot of promise. Will field test them soon

[stefk]

Normally you would be able to practice the king. Begin then with the dolphin



Form a stable triangle with the head and the elbows. And try step by step to lift your knees, not your feet. You have to feel the sensations. In the beginning you stay five seconds, more or less, with obstination you will stay. Somedays, I can stay 15 min in the king. But there are days with and days without.

You might find this of interest, a bit about "actoprotectors":

The first recipients of bemitil were Soviet cosmonaughts. Bemitil also was successfully employed in preparing the athletes of the USSR’s national team for the 1980 Olympic Games held in Moscow. Later, throughout the 1990s, it was used as a basic medicinal agent in almost all of the corps of the Soviet and then Russian armies. Notably, its administration made it possible to increase soldiers’ endurance over long marches; in the Air Forces, Missile Troops, and Army Air Defense, it enhanced work capacity and stability to hypoxia; and in the Navy, it reinforced stability to hypoxia and, where applicable, high temperatures. The latter property, in fact, had determined its wide use by the “limited contingent” of Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Bemitil enabled soldiers, including Special Forces, to effectively perform combat missions under both hypoxic and high-temperature conditions. Bemitil’s effectiveness for various types of activities was shown also in its enhancement of the physical and mental capacities of rescue and other workers deployed in the wakes of the Chernobyl catastrophe (1986), the earthquakes in Armenia (1988), and the railway accidents in Bashkiria (1989) (Shabanov, 2009a). Bromantane also was employed in the Soviet and Russian armies, to shorten recovery times after strong physical exertion, though not as widely as bemitil.

Tbh, "actoprotectors" sound a lot like adaptogens. I am already taking three adaptogens (have been, for years) in varying doses, and can attest to their effectiveness: rhodiola rosea, schizandra chinensis, and eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng).

However, maybe I will try some of these other actoprotectors at some point in the future, and take a break from the adaptogens I am currently taking.

Will look into it. Going to ask my connections in Ukraine, etc to check it. I am getting ready for booster shots of Solocerly and cerebrolysin and some Atp.

NAD+ sounds very promising as young kids are loaded with it and it drops drastically as we age. Still searching for some good sources on it. It can be quite pricey up 250 USD for 10ml

From my friend, based in Ukraine, who may be trying out some of these actoprotectors in the near future:

"Yes, I can procure one of the Soviet 'actoprotectors.' Anecdotally, what I have read is that it enables one, for example, to lift 20% more, to withstand standard heat tolerances, and other such superlative abilities, for a few intervals. But - the next day one feels like sh*t. Flu-like symptoms, worse. There is no "free lunch,” as they say. No short-cuts without consequences."

Also, and I am sure you are aware of this, but the human biological system is quite complex with innumerable pathways that interact with each other, often in surprising ways. Taking a lot of new, different supplements simultaneously may have unexpected effects, potentially both beneficial and harmful.

Wouldn't want anything to happen to you, Sol - if something did, I wouldn't know what to do with all those option plays from Trendblazer and other T.I. publications I am currently holding.

Speaking of substances that drop as we age, you may want to look into taking digestive enzymes. Pancreatic enzyme secretion by the human body drops as we age, and are important for extracting nutrients from the food we eat.

So, even if one eats "perfectly," i.e. grass-fed meats, natural, organic, pesticide-free veggies and fruits, etc., if one doesn't secrete enough digestive enzymes, all the good nutrients from the ingested food won't be absorbed or assimilated by the body. Too much undigested food reaching the lower small bowel as well as the colon could lead to bacterial overgrowth, etc. and the translocation of harmful bacteria into the enteric vascular supply, resulting in, among other phenomena, the endotoxin-inflammation cascade systemically to which you alluded in the AITT forum.

Also, unused digestive enzymes are absorbed by the body to be used in other biochemical reactions, including those that involve the thyroxine pathways.

So it's important to take some supplemental digestive enzymes as we age, I would think. I won't post any links as I know you are good at researching this stuff.

Going back to the pancreatic enzymes, if you do decide to supplement, just go slow, as taking lots of digestive enzymes with lots of ASA powder and acidic substances like ACV will increase your chances of developing gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers.

[SOL]

It is true that mixing many substances could possibly lead to unexpected outcomes, that is why in general I stick to things that I have researched extensively and more importantly, there is a decent amount of data to support their usage.

When it comes to taking shots, I will stick mostly to substances that occur naturally in the body or tend to work symmetrically. At the moment I am taking Alpha lipoic shots (25mg to 50mg every other day with vit C). On other days I take L-carnitine 1 gram. I am sure you know the benefits of L-carnitine. I will continue this for 30 days and then stop.

NAD+ and Glutathione are both substances that are abundantly available in our bodyb but drop as we age. Glutathione absorption is quite bad so the only way to take absorb meaning full amount is via shots. However, I come across a Nasal Spray of NAD that I will test for 1 week and then take shots for 1 week. If the result is the same I will opt for the nasal spray. I have also come across liposomal Glutathione that seems to be almost as effective as the shots, if this proves to be true, then I will opt for the liposomal Glutathione.

Now when I take the solcocerly and cerebrolyin shots they will be taken together and without anything else. I have already benefited tremendously from both and have extensive experience with them.

Digesttive enzymes are necessary and i take half the suggested dosage as for now I have now digestive problems. I tend to digest food easily as long as I stick to my normal diet. It's when I deviate that I run into issue.

One measure of good health is a pink tongue. So if my tongue starts to become white then i know that what I am eating or doing is not good and I reasses my diet. As I mentioned from time to time I use ultr low dose antibiotics to kill the endotoxins in my gut. I usually take them with carrot as carrot is a natural antibiotic and the fiber is generally indigestible so it can push the medicine deeper. Almost always after this treatment that lasts 5-7 days my tongue becomes even pinker or clearer.

Science is all about experimentation, but one should experiment after one has done extensive research on the topic and has plausible working hypothesis. Too many of today's smart individuals make assumptions while quoting others without even taking the time to check if that person is backing their assertions with science.

I have also come across liposomal Glutathione that seems to be almost as effective as the shots, if this proves to be true, then I will opt for the liposomal Glutathione.

Glutathione is another interesting one. Many years ago, I bought a bunch of liposomal glutathione in vials and took them orally for a few months. It may have been working, but one of the "problems" I have when trying to decide if a supplement is working or not (besides studying available research) is that my baseline health is generally really good, so it's hard to say if something is working or not if I almost always feel great physically, almost never get sick, and my bloodwork tends to be pristine. And my tongue is always pink .

Actually Sol, you may find Dave Asprey interesting - I bought his liposomal glutathione formulation originally, and he's a big-time biohacker, and last time I heard, he had publicly declared that he is going to try to live at least until 180 years of age. He's currently in his forties like us, and he is also a Scorpio Sun, like you. Asprey also has a very strong dislike of most MDs and Big Pharma, etc. You probably have already heard of him - he made the whole "Bulletproof Coffee" idea quite popular.

Going back to the glutathione bit, I decided ultimately to stop taking the liposomal gluthathione and instead, I have been taking NAC for a few years. There is a fair amount of decent research on NAC and it's a glutathione precursor:

"N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) helps to replenish intracellular glutathione, a vital cellular antioxidant. NAC has a low molecular weight and is well absorbed via oral administration. NAC is a glutathione precursor that has been used in therapeutic practices for several decades. More recently, clinical studies have reported on the use of NAC as a free radical scavenger, most notably where there appears to be a need for glutathione repletion."

I might come across as an arrogant SOB but that is not my intent in regards to what I am about to say.
If he is under 50 he does not look all that great for his age. My grandfather looked like that when he was almost 70. I also ran into people in Cuenca, Vilcabamba (both cities in Ecuador) that were in incredible shape. In those places if you are 70, you ain't old, you are just starting your journey. I suspect @STEFK also looks above average for his age and he appears to be one helluva flexible dude. I think his pet name should be Elastic STEFK




Lastly, I don't like braggers, all those jackasses usually die before their time. For example, the father of longevity Ray Walford pushed his low fat and calorie restriction diet. He even wrote a book on how to live to 120. The irony is that he died at 80 and was suffering from dementia. The brain is 60% fat and denying oneself essential fat (cholesterol) is a recipe for disaster. Higher cholesterol levels are generally associated with higher IQ, lower levels of dementia, Alzheimer's etc. I try to keep my total cholesterol count in the 180 ranges despite the loud protests from my new doctor. My old doctor was old school. I still visit him but he is not practising anymore. Almost 70% of the cholesterol is manufactured by our body so I don't it is doing something wrong. Calcification due to calcium being leached from the bones is a bigger threat to artery health

endothelial dysfunction is something that one should focus on, for I know many people with cholesterol levels in the 180 to 200 ranges that are well over 70 and have no issues. Both my Grandfather and Great Grandfather had above normals of cholesterol and they lived 93 and 99 respectively.

I somewhat agree with the assessment below

Oxidative stress and inflammation appear to be the two primary pathological mechanisms of ageing-related endothelial dysfunction even in the absence of clinical disease. Arterial ageing is no longer considered an inexorable process. Only a better understanding of the link between ageing and vascular dysfunction can lead to significant advances in both preventative and therapeutic treatments with the aim that in the future vascular ageing may be halted or even reversed.

Yes Sol, how do you know that? but its normal after 30 years of obstination, supelness becomes mandatory. Its so good for the hips and articulations to practice the split on the ground or against a wall. I do it, not for the show, but because I feel so good during the posture and after it.

[hooligan]

two cents, though this may appear disagreeable:

i did a high-fat diet for a long time. ruined me. the tricky thing with a high-fat diet is it forces the body to release lots of adrenaline to help the digestive system process it.

so it tricks you into thinking you're vital because you're getting high on your adrenaline every meal.

little do you know you're being drained over time, and stuffed with sludge that is difficult for the body to process. liver has to produce and give more precious bile. digestive system gets caked.

the other thing about high blood-fat is it oxidizes the pesticides and heavy metals we can't help but accumulate in the modern world, rusting them. this drives them deeper and disrupts nerve impulses, etc. makes you stupider. you feel smarter and faster, but that is because the body is pumping adrenaline through your blood and brain. my mental clarity improved massively after going low-fat. anger issues disappeared.

brain is mostly sugar. if you eat brain it's sweet like candy. sugar is not the devil. processed sugars are terrible. healthy sugars (fruit, coconut water, potatoes) are king. the brain uses glucose as a coolant.

electrolytes in lemon juice potentialize nerve impulses. this makes you smarter. lime juice. alkaloids in lettuces do the same thing. mineral salts. they also dope the lymph, trapping the toxins we encounter daily.

trace and macro minerals in sprouts mineralize the blood and build white blood cells.

phytochemicals in tomatoes protect the heart. oranges contain the most natural and bio-available glutathione you can consume. have up to 6 a day. kiwis build stomach acid. apples calm brain inflammation.

natural and abundant l-lysine in potatoes inhibits viruses. they are also incredibly mineralizing. the GABA in thyme improves sleep and dream quality. rosemary and oregano destroy bad bacteria and feed good. onions destroy bad bacteria savagely. phytochemicals in berries of all kinds feed and repair the brain. muscles build from working out if you have high glucose reserves in the liver. bananas are ideal for this purpose. potassium and magnesium content lubricate the workout from within.

the body loves nature. fruit and plants. fat and protien are overemphasized for adults. children can eat a higher percent of them as their body is taking its "frame". the way to sustain an adult body is to emphasize healthy glucose, phytochemicals, healthy mineral salts (celery, lettuces, lemons limes, fruits). dont forget wildflower honey. unbeatable for immunity. packed with phytochemicals.

don't go hungry. eat your fill of this diet. you'll be immune to everything. i've never felt better. health issues i've had since i was a child are disappearing left and right.

you will feel the detoxification when you eat this way. it is not always comfortable. but it's the real way. a genuinely enlightening diet. it allows to body to Get Rid of the toxic material that Hinders it. Dislodges poison and allows space for the body to release it safely.

just one man's journey. all the best

(1)Dave Asprey:

To be fair, I believe Asprey is turning 49 or 50 this year, so he’s at the tail end of the “40s.” Dave does come across as somewhat arrogant at times. He is quite good at marketing his brand and products, and because of this, he is able to attract quite a number of high-quality guests on his podcast that present interesting data and perspectives. So if anything, when I mentioned Asprey, it was more to consider checking out what some of his guests are saying on Dave’s podcast.

We do have to be careful about how much to infer about someone’s health from his physical appearance. Race and genetics, as well as other factors, may play significant roles.

For example, I am forty-eight-years-old, but when I meet people for the first time, they usually think I am in my mid- or late thirties. Part of this may be how I tend to dress, and also because I generally try to behave in the most immature way possible, but another reason may be my East Asian (Taiwanese) ethnicity. This is also true of Blacks, for example.

It has been said, “Asians don’t raisin (i.e. wrinkle),” “Black don’t crack (i.e. wrinkle).” There is some truth to this.

Jokes aside, another example where appearances may deceive is in the distribution of visceral fat.

One subgroup of the population that seems disproportionately at risk for early cardiovascular disease is East Indians. A lot of individuals in this group who suffer significant cardiac damage from heart attacks at an early age are not overweight, and from outward appearances, look quite well.

This is likely due to what some endocrinologists call “TOFI” (thin outside, fat inside) – meaning, TOFI individuals tend to store visceral fat (i.e. around their internal organs) and in their coronary vessels (lipid deposits -> atherogenic plaques), and less so on the “outside,” so they don’t look overweight.

The opposite is also true – “TIFO” (thin inside, fat outside) – these are the individuals that look somewhat chubby or fat, yet never seem to develop as much cardiovascular disease as one would guess. These lucky individuals tend not to store fat around their visceral organs or in their coronary vessels (in the form of lipid deposits contributing to early atherosclerosis).

(2)Cholesterol:

Yeh, totally agree with you about mainstream views on cholesterol, especially LDL – most of it is complete chicanery. It is indeed quite a deep topic, so I will out of necessity discuss in broad strokes and avoid nuances (i.e. the following will generally apply only to the average, reasonably healthy person - those without a family history of early cardiac death or rare hereditary hyperlipidemic syndromes, etc.).

But yeh, cholesterol is necessary for many functions, as you mentioned in your post, including the formation of sex hormones like testosterone. So I do consume a lot of eggs, butter, ghee, coconut oil, meat and organs from grassfed sources, etc.

There is a lot of new, interesting research on LDL, way too much to discuss here. Suffice it to say for this particular discussion that LDL looks like it can be further subdivided into many sub-types, and many of these subtypes are actually beneficial.

On a practical level, from my decades of clinical experience with patients and my own research into the studies on this topic, the easiest way to ascertain “cholesterol health” fairly accurately is to look at the HDL (i.e. “the good cholesterol”) and the TG (triglyceride) ratio.

Basically, you want to have as high an HDL level as possible, and as low a TG level as possible. Generally, you want the HDL/TG ratio to be greater than 1. So for example, my most recent HDL was 1.63 mmol/L, TG level was 0.70 mmol/L, so my HDL/TG ratio is 2.33. I am quite happy with this.

Contrary to most mainstream opinions on this, I more or less ignore my total cholesterol and LDL levels – I only focus on the HDL/TG ratio.

I have gone through thousands of my patients’ files in the past and pretty much anyone with good HDL/TG ratios do reasonably well from a cardiovascular perspective, irrespective of her level of LDL or total cholesterol.

This is mildly off topic, but another really important lab value to monitor is the Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c).

Traditionally, the HbA1c test is a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes. If you're living with diabetes, the test is also used to monitor how well you're managing blood sugar levels. An HbA1c test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Specifically, the HbA1c test measures what percentage of hemoglobin proteins in your blood are coated with sugar (glycated).

However, diabetes aside, in a healthy individual, the HbA1c is a decent, surrogate measure of insulin sensitivity (Stefk mentioned in a previous post the importance of this, a view with which I concur) and general metabolic health, arguably. Some small studies have found an association between low HbA1c and longevity, as well as less incidence of some types of cancer and illnesses, etc.

So in general, you want your HbA1c to be as low as possible, less than 5.2 or thereabouts.

There are many laboratory tests one can undergo to assess overall metabolic function, but if I were restricted to just three, I would choose HDL, TG, and HbA1c.

(3) Endothelial function:

Indeed, endothelial function is extremely important.

All the tests you mentioned have different strengths and weaknesses, and some are better than others at measuring endothelial function in specific areas of the body. For example, the carotid duplex U/S is half-decent at measuring blood flow to the brain - whether there are significant atherosclerotic blocks in the carotid arteries that may predispose to strokes - and how severe the blocks are, some of which may or may not require surgical intervention.

With that said, there is no single test available, to my knowledge, that is good at quantifying “overall” endothelial function with any degree of accuracy.

YY may wish to chime in here – he is working in Cardiology, so at this point he is closer to those tests you mentioned than I am.

I will add a few more thoughts on this topic. Structure does not always equal function. I will try to explain this with a few examples.

One is where a patient is discovered to have several significant atherosclerotic plaques in her coronary vessels, yet has no symptoms of cardiac disease and is quite high-functioning from an exercise perspective, i.e. let’s say she is running half-marathons comfortably.

How could this be? Well, this is often seen when the patient has developed “collateral” blood flow - or tributaries, in a sense - new, small vessels that bypass the blocks in the main coronary vasculature. Also, the elasticity, or flexibility, of the vasculature is also important – i.e. if the partially blocked coronary artery has “flexible” endothelium and is somewhat able to dilate around the partial blockage, blood flow may be somewhat preserved.

An opposing example is where a patient develops crushing chest pain and other symptoms of cardiac ischemia, but her angiogram is completely normal. How can this be? Well, she may have what used to be called Prinzmetal’s angina – “normal,” non-blocked coronary vessels that occasionally “spasm.”

The point is that all results of laboratory tests should be viewed with some caution, and interpreted taking into account the patient’s function.

There are also some extremely simple, less direct ways to roughly gauge cardiovascular health:

(1) Spontaneous erections – all things being equal, if you are able to get spontaneous (i.e. not triggered by kinesthetic or visual stimuli) erections a few times per month, your vascular health overall is likely “not terrible;” obviously, this may be affected by other factors, like low testosterone, lack of sleep, chronic stress, fatigue, etc.

(2) Blood pressure.

(3) Resting heart rate, heart rate variability.

(4) Exercise tolerance.

Another factor to consider is that there are unconventional ways to improve peripheral vascular health.

The human circulatory system is a vast and complex network of vessels that would extend more than 60,000 miles if laid end to end. Lining most of the important vessels is a complex network of tiny muscles that constrict the flow of blood away from one particular area to boost the supply to another.

One effective way to train these tiny muscles and make one’s circulatory system more resilient is temperature variation, i.e. extreme cold or extreme heat.

So cold exposure therapy (from something as simple as cold showers to ice baths to running outside in the cold) as well as heat exposure (i.e. saunas, training in extreme heat) would likely benefit the cardiovascular system – good research on this stuff, if one cares to look it up on her own.

Cold also has other benefits (e.g. brown fat activation), and likewise heat (e.g. activation of “heat shock” proteins, etc.). Too much data to go into here.

Open-Minded individuals embrace different opinions. I should have expanded on my high-fat statement, A high-fat diet ( meaning that your diet is mostly based on high-fat foods) is not what I meant to imply. I mean I eat a lot of eggs and the farmer's cheese etc I referred to was for a limited period as I was trying to make a point. I actually eat a huge amount if fruits and natural berries are unreal in terms of their taste and nutrient quality

I also consume large amounts of Raw Honey, decent amounts of good quality chocolate (mostly darK). I agree with your take on potatoes, onions and garlic. However, carrots are great as they are a natural antibiotic and help with gut health
