Supplemental Supplements

My wife tells me I make lists.  I do, and then I start talking about them.  Here is the list of the supplements I take and why I take them. Vitamin C and MSM in H2O :  Theoretically, aside from the concrete help with arthritis and exercise, this concoction should offer my cardiovascular system support. The MSM helps detox cells, and creates a more flexible bond between the cells in my circulatory system.  Which helps my arteries become more flexible. The thing about this is it doesn't happen overnight, it happens slowly, but given enough time my circulatory system should improve.  At least that's what the promoters of this stuff claim. Vitamin D3 and L-Arginine: Somewhere on YouTube is a Doctor (J. Joseph Prendergrast) who claims that this combination cleans out arterial gunk.  He says this because he had an MRI or PET or something like that when he was 37 and his doctors gave him a pep talk that basically said that after had his heart attack, they ...

Vitamin C and MSM in Copious Quantity

There is an entire school of thought that says minerals, and organic minerals are critical to health and lack of them is problematic. MSM - also known by the dreaded name Methylsulfonylmethane ; which sounds like something an Alien breathes rather than a type of food. It's also called organic sulfur. The rumor is that it's created in the ocean, deposited on the land by rainwater and ruined by modern factory farm soil additives.   So we never get enough. It's primarily used for arthritis and helps with inflamation. Very useful stuff I might add.  It helps me exercise because it helps me reduce lactic acid buildup from exercise much faster than I would without it. In fact I felt so energetic exercising, with my new found lack of sluggishness that I overdid it and had some back problems that lasted about a month. So I tried taking it once a day, and although that's better than nothing, twice a day is much better. I mix mine with some purified or ionized wat...

Breakfast of Supplements

Once upon a time I was not supplement crazy.   But now I am. Why is that? Well it might have something to do with being 67 and having a brother who, like myself never had a heart attack until he had the massive one when he was 67. It would be inconvenient to die right now, maybe I can stave it off until later? How would I do that, since my muscles don't really like to work out, and I know from PET scans that my aorta is encrusted with slabs of gunk. What can I do about that stuff? Well if you can believe what you read on the Internet, and don't have a great deal to lose, you can consume nostrums that will, over  time, degrease your arteries. One way to do this is to combine vitamin D and L-Arginine in suitable amounts and it may or may not work.   I've been taking about 2000 IU of vitamin D and 500mg of L-Arginine for over a year, and recently I increased the vitamin D to 6000 IU and 8cc of L-Arginine powder. I read somewhere that the requisite amount...
