Very impressed with the latest book by Dr. Michael Colgan: Sports Nutrition Guide -
I purchased 4 copies.
I started taking supplements based on his Vitamin Profile
book which was published about 30 years ago.
Joined the Life Extension Foundation
www.lef.org in Dec 2005.
$75 for 18 months includes a large excellent reference
book and very extensive updates and references at their web site.
I also subscribe to
www.consumerlab.com It has a very
extensive analysis of supplements and herbs,

You can search for items which have ALL of several ingredients, then sub-search on the amount of the first ingredient
Judy has had excellent success with decreasing lymphoedema with
Ultra InflaZyme Forte from American Biologics for 5 years now.
The pills are expensive (about $7 a day) but very worth it.
Also has nightly lymph massage and daily exercise.
InflaZyme Forte by American Biologics: (Pancreatin,
Bromelain, Papin, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Rutin, Zinc, Superoxide Dismutase,
Catalase, and L-Cysteine) was recommended by Lympehdemia organization.
Judy (along with millions of others) has had excellent success with
decreasing traumatic and osteo arthritis with glucosamine, chondriatin,
MSM and SAM-e.
These supplements do not just eliminate the pain, they heal the joints.
Judy's vision seems to be improving now that she is taking Lutein
(6mg), and Zeaxanthin (258mcg)
- which has been proven to be of great help in
preventing or reducing problems with macular degeneration and cataracts.
Judy also takes 5-HTP for depression and inositol
(with choline) for anxiety. They have helped much more than
counseling would have done.
Restless Leg Syndrome. Noticed that
one person with RLS purchased an RV that would fit a king-sized bed.
Many people with RLS, including Judy and Henry, have found that Iron supplements
virtually eliminate RLS.
Henry is taking Saw Palmetto to reduce balding and
reduce the possibility of prostate
problems
Henry has found that 15 mg of Zinc eliminates tiredness after
lovemaking (sperm has 1mg of Zinc) and long-distance biking (can lose up to
12mg of Zinc if sweat all-day long) - reference - Colgan's book pg 76+
D-Ribose has been extremely helpful to relieve
soreness since we started taking it in 2007. D-Ribose is a very low
cost supplement which helps replace ATP which is used for energy in the
body. Look it up on the internet - many body-building sites talk about it.
We can not live without it. We take 1500 mg chewable tablets.
One before exercise (biking) and one after.
Another product which body building sites recommend and I
use is ZMA.
My formula for a healthy long life =
Daily Exercise + strength training (every 3 weeks) +Good food (organic when
it is not too costly) + supplements
+ good emotions + social contacts + minimize fats and meats + no smoking. (considering
also increasing fasting &
meditation and decreasing wine)
I really like to improve people's health.
Back 20 years ago (1985, long
before the internet) I quit my job at Boeing to author and publish Reader's
Guides to Health Improvement.
It was not successful, so I returned to Boeing.
Now that I am retired I spend many hours each day trying to improve health
and prevent pre-mature death in people.
Tinnitus: After decades of searching I have
finally found Bio-Ear by Natures Answer which virtually stops the ringing in my ear. Read
about it in a Tinnitus book. I put a few drops in my ear with a Q tip
just before going to sleep. It appears that the ringing goes away
for a longer time the longer I do the treatment. Treat for 2 nights and no
ringing for the the following 2 days, = 4 days total. Similarly, treat
for 3 nights and no ringing for a total of 6 days. Bio-Ear is a liquid
herbal mix: Aloe vera, gentian root, Ginsing, bitter orange peel, dandelion
root, etc. I will guess that the 0,5 oz bottle which costs about $10 will
virtually eliminate Tinnitus for about 4 months.
Fruits vegetables not as nutritious as 50 years ago By LANCE GAY SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE Seattle PI 3/1/06
Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas, said that
of 13 major nutrients in fruits and vegetables tracked by the Agriculture Department from 1950 to 1999,
six showed noticeable declines -- protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and vitamin C.
The declines ranged from 6 percent for protein, 15 percent for iron, 20 percent for vitamin C, and 38 percent for riboflavin.
