Supplements in my diet.

Old bodies need maintenance.

There was a request from an old guy as to what supplements are in my diet. Here is an annotated list.

This is my 70th year on this goofy rock.

In the morning, before eating I do enzyme therapy by taking Nattokinase & Wobenzym before breakfast. Doing so means that the enzymes will be entering the blood & not get used up in the stomach. The Nattokinase cleans out microclots & debris in the blood & brain. The Wobenzym does the same with extraneous proteins that accumulate in the joints. I take it exactly for that reason, 59 years in martial arts builds up damage in the joints. The Wobenzym will eliminate the need for any NSAIDs for general ‘grit’ in the joints causing pain or discomfort. The Wobenzym (if I remember) will be taken 45 minutes before lunch & dinner (usually I can remember to do before lunch, but also usually forget before dinner). I am on a maintenance dose level now as all the joints are feeling loose & grit free, so missing a few in a week does not really affect my movement.

With breakfast, I will have a teaspoon of pure Cayenne pepper for the heart & circulation effects (usually in eggs), but also as it boosts performance through out the day. I will have another teaspoon with lunch. If convenient, I will have a third teaspoon with dinner.

I will take vitamin capsules with breakfast:

Vitamin A, E (with tocotrienols), B12, B Complex, C (liposomal 4+ grams a day), D (10,000 iu with K), DHEA, Boron, Zinc (14 to 1 with Copper), and Niacin.

In the evening, I have Iodine (6 drops or so) in 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 8 oz of hot water.

Throughout the day, coffee. And at least one cup of Chaga tea, usually with garam masala added. I cook with garam masala & lots of other spices, though I avoid garlic & onions due to their impact on peptides in the body.

I also use L. Reuteri yogurt daily. L. Gasseri yogurt every few days.

This is a lot of supplements. (sigh) It is a real chore, but once in a routine, not too bad to keep up. I am 70 years old & really physically beat up. Many surgeries over my life & thousands of sutures all leaving scars. The Wobenzym & nattokinase reduce the grit in the damaged joints, but also reduce thickening & stiffness in the scars. The stiffness of the joints is taken away by the enzyme therapy.

In addition I will take prescribed testosterone replacement therapy, as well as peptides. The peptides are for prostate, muscles, & pineal gland. These are purchased at vita-stream.com. Every so often I will add the peptide for eyes for a while to clear out the vision.

So far this is working to keep me out of the gears of the vast industrial medical machine that grinds up humans, so it is worth it.
