Striving For a Healthy Long Life

[apollo]

Hello guys. I have kinda a strange question.
As of a few years i have Crohns disease. Since i got sick my life and body has not worked even close to normal anymore. Currently i am still searching for the meds to keep control over the disease.
Currently I get an IV bag of highly expensive medication every 8 weeks. Sadly it only works as required for about 6,5 weeks and the rest of the time i slowly lose control. During that week and a half not only pain , fatique ,… starts.
But also my body goes into survival mode i guess and i getting hungry all the time. I try not to eat more then usual but its not easy. So do any of you guys have any idea if there is something that can keep the hunger away?

Any low carb veg will make a nice snack and fill you up. Not sure how fiber affacts you, best to check with a dieticien. All the best!

Thx sadly like you mention fibres are not my best friends along with acids and spicy stuff . I use to be able to eat all vegetables and fruits but i can only eat a tiny portion before trouble starts. Even a medium sized carrot is enough to make me regret it not long after. I see a dieticien every time i get an IV but besides costing me allot of money they have not given me any decent answer.
Sadly after 4 years of seeing specialists and still struggling i am loosing fate in everyone with a medical degree in my country…

A lot of time has passed and much has changed since I started to follow information regarding rapamycin.

I was going to schedule a visit with Dr Green in NYC to get checked out and possible start rapamycin but saw that he had passed away.

I signed up at AgelessRX 05/2023 for rapamycin, then cancelled it. I am a cautious person. But I’ve been visiting Rapamycin News from time to time and follow many in healthspan and lifespan work on X. Dr Matt Kaeberlein said to go for it the other day when I asked him, and I said to myself LET’S DO THIS!

So, I reapplied with AgelessRX. I am waiting for the all clear and my first delivery of rapamycin!

Pretty stoked right now.

Sorry to hear that. I share in some of your pain personally as I have had a sickness that has similar symptoms lyme disease for over 6 years. For the first 6 months I was completely laid out. I made breakfast, did the dishes, then sat on the couch till noon. I made sure the kids got food, then sat pretty much for the rest of the day only doing things that had to be done. After those six months I slowly got some energy back, but I didn't have an appetite for over a year. My energy never got back to normal levels, and if I get sick with something else, which tends to happen 2-3 times a year now, I ussually relapse and take another month to get back to a little bit more normal energy. I have spent the last 6 months recovering from the last sickness I got, and started working in the yard again over the last couple weeks.

Unfortunately despite the fact that my family has researched this and similar diseases for years we have not come to any deffinitve conclusions on what can help it, and most of the docters I have heard from or about say that our condition doesn't even exist, that we are either just lazy or depressed. It is really sad that this is the common response from docters because so many people are strungling with this kind of problem right now and people just treat them like they are crazy. My mom has had similar problems for several more years than me, and two of my brothers also have it, but so far we haven't come up with anything solid to combat it.

One of the few things that has helped some is doing simple meditation. I'll quote from something I wrote in another topic just recently:

"What I mean by that is to find time preferably every day to simply stand, sit, or even lay down as you may prefer and just try to relax and not think too hard about anything. Feel the ground, smell the air, hear the birds, be aware, but instead of reacting to any of it, just let each thing pass through you. Just be a spectator. Thoughts will come, probably lots of anxieties too, just let them pass through you as well. Let that moment merely be good. Practicing this has helped me deal with a sickness I have had for over 6 years that basically matches the symtoms of lime disease. I imagine it may help your mental health as well."

This is something that is free to do, and while I haven't cured my problems it does really help being able to focus and do day to day things without burning out. Meditation is an interesting topic that has helped many people dramatically, but it can't be thought of like typical medical practices so it often gets disregarded. Your mental state has a huge effect on your physical body though, and that is not something denied by the general medical community despite the aversion to mental therapy to improve health. I'm not sure what your thoughts on this might be, but I think it is worth trying because it only costs you a little time each day. If you are interested in more details about the topic feel free to PM me and I could give you some thoughts on some books that might be worth a read.

Your 1st reaction to it was the right one.

Nothing has changed since then either so....

So unless you are a mouse...

Think about this...

If there was something that actually really worked at extending life it would be so far out of reach for normal people expense wise. Only the 1% would be able to afford it as it would be insane crazy expensive.

The 1% wouldn't want the masses to have access to it so it just wouldn't happen since the masses are just cattle to them and mean nothing.

The wealthy do not control any of this quite yet. Rapamycin and their analogs are being compounded in the US, India, EU, China, etc. People buy it and have it shipped into the USA, then they send samples off to labs, and people report back what the testing labs say.

If I go into the AgelessRX program, they test my blood and urine monthly, perhaps weekly. I'll be more regimented for healthcare than I ever have been.

I cannot go into my current medical issues right here right now in a public forum. I may seem like an open book, but I am not quite. I am facing some health problems right now that have nothing to do with rapamycin, and I need to get them out of the way in August or September, and I am all over the issues trying to resolve them.

Then I have to see what AgelessRX offers me. I was accepted into the program in 2023 and I backed out. I may have to wait a month or two to start taking rapamycin no matter what. I've been following this pretty closely for 2 years.

The website https://www.rapamycin.news/ is chock full of MDs and doctors that have Twitter/X and YouTube accounts and businesses in the healthspan and lifespan biotech areas. They DO NOT make any money talking about or selling rapamycin that I know of. They are trying to go beyond rapamycin but rapamycin is still the best thing available for targeting the biological mechanisms to extend life (and they do not control the supply).

The US NIH is involved too: https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/dab/in ... rogram-itp

There are probably 250,000+ people involved testing and trying out the NIH compounds. Maybe more. I am sure that nobody really knows how deep this rabbit hole goes. This isn't just The West involved, there are billions being spent on longevity research. Major labs, hospitals and universities in the leading medical countries and this has been going on for 20 years.

There isn't quite a longevity moonshot yet, The West, Asia, Middle East still spend the most on social programs and military expenditures.

Healthspan increases of just 5% are huge, and may help you live 5 more years HEALTHY, within your current lifespan. They are not yet trying to extend lifespan, they are just trying to PUSH OUT the time that we are healthy before we die. I think it is very possible and that is all that I am trying to do.

There are many of us that wish that things would change and and some serious cash would be pumped into this, like I don't know, maybe a trillion. The governments spend so much killing each other, and I am hoping they shift their focus on preserving and extending life.

I probably take 55 pills every day that I have researched through the most expensive ChatGPT models...but yes, LLMs just regurgitate what goes in. Garbage in; Garbage out. That is why I follow 50+ medical accounts on X, YouTube channels, hang out on https://www.rapamycin.news/ they are a direct line to testers and first hand experiences.

[Naperville]

"Despite the buzz surrounding the drug(rapamycin), it is unlikely that the Food and Drug Administration will ever approve it for longevity. The agency doesn’t consider aging to be a disease, and rapamycin’s generic status means there’s little financial incentive to run expensive clinical trials to test it on age-related afflictions."

IT'S GENERIC

You are not involved. You have not read all of the documents that I have read. You are not a doctor. You are not really interested. You are only interested in promoting your opinion, and that is fine. Free speech right?

What are good remedies for phlegm caused by after effects of pneumonia, once the pneumonia is gone?

What are good remedies for phlegm caused by after effects of pneumonia, once the pneumonia is gone?

I'd ask Google.

Thank you. I know supplements are claimed by many to help but others are skeptical. I know that ultimately I must speak with a health care professional.

But I appreciate wisdom from you, Doc, Ankerson, sal, Jim, Kristi, Darby zhyla and others here.

As you know I have various friends and people I ask advice from.

One man urges me to get supplements like curcumin tumeric pills, vitamin c and d, and even liver pills made with beef liver. But another told me that is all a big money making scam and the best thing is to eat a balanced diet to get those nutrients. The supplement companies make the claim that we cannot get enough of the nutrients from food and need their pills and liquids. But those are expensive.

I feel torn between the two views. What is best?

Also the anti supplement man warned me that taking those can harm the liver.

Second issue: Weight lifting. As you know from our chats I like good food. Mashed potatoes a big one but they are full of starch. A guy warned me that in our 40s to 60s and older we sadly cannot eat like we did in our teens and 20s, and if we do, we will face very bad health problems.

Man, brother, I used to eat an entire 18 to 20 inch meat and cheese pizza and like 6 pieces of fried chicken, a pint of ice cream, and 10 mozarella sticks in one meal.
I had to stop. The doctor told me I am not Superman. If I keep eating like that, it would literally kill me.

Now I try to eat healthier but I do love big portions.
Naperville, my friend, dude, I just cannot give that up. I will feel so deprived.

A weight lifter guy who has been into serious gym told me if I am careful I can eat big portions IF I lift weights to burn it off. How does that work? I am scared of pulling a muscle. Stretch well first?

[kwakster]

Here in the Netherlands N-Acetylcysteine is given in cases of excess phlegm.
One of the things is does is that it make the mucus thinner, so it can be coughed up much more easily.
It has other health advantages as well.

We have it always in stock in our medicine cabinet.
(800 mg tablets)

You have to go see a doctor and ask these questions. Responses and Posts from people on the Internet from myself or others is anecdotal, and may not help you at all. It is not likely but may injure you. YOU are responsible for your health. For your life. GO SEE A DOCTOR.

Primarily you have to worry about caloric intake and metabolism or activity levels to lose weight. You said that you cannot take ozempic right? I take ozempic and jardiance and eat just 1 to 1.5 meals per day, and I am very active now. Still, I'm not really losing any weight. I weigh right around 200lbs. It is not easy, but while working in a warehouse, I keep up most of the time with 20 and 30 year olds. Sometimes I rank #1, but I am always in the top 33% easily.

Two years ago, I would not have believed you if you told me I'd be as active as I am right now. Most of it is mindset, I just did not have the right attitude. I can do even more, but I have to try. If you do not get up and do it, you will never get started.

I take a lot of aspirin to keep going. On my bad days 2,000mg. I try to not take any, but it is easier to move if I have some aspirin in me, say 1,000mg.

I take a lot of supplements. It is an educated and researched guess. If there are no negatives, and there is just one net positive, I think it is worth it. I will tell you though, IT IS FREAKING EXPENSIVE!

I think supplements have become more necessary over time. Food is not as fresh as it used to be due to mass production techniques, the soil is becoming depleted of minerals, and many processes we have added to food production reduce it's nutritional value. I was reading some info from a nutritionist helping a guy develop his emergency food cache and he said that food has roughly a third of the nutritional value it did two generations ago (at that time). That means that many people in their 40s now would have to eat three meals to get the same ammount of vitamins and minerals that your grandparents got in one. Some suplements are better than others, avoid artificial flavors/colors and lots of corn syrup if you can. Some suplements are also more important than others, but that will partially depend on your particular body. For my own health problems it is important to get enough vitamin C and D. Absorption is also important, and different vitamins can work together to boost absorbtion, but I can't really give a ton of advice, it would be best to either research some nutrition work, or see a nutritionist.

Be careful with beef liver pills and do your research. For some people it can help things, but I think it can also be problematic to take too much or for too long.

As for eating such large portions, I think you are better off scaling back than just trying to burn it off. You can burn off the calories but if you eat a lot of food it still has to be what is good for you, and too much of any of it probably isn't the best. Then you have to consider whether you are willing to keep up the amount of gym work that it would take to maintain that system if you did do it. If you have a hard time eating smaller portions, do you think you have the discipline to keep up the excercise? I'm not trying to be critical in asking that, it is just the kind of honest question you have to ask yourself if you are really serious about getting improvements. By that same measure you have to ask yourself what seems harder between smaller portions or lots of excercise.

I eat fairly small portions, but I eat more frequently than most. I have three meals and an afternoon snack everyday. Small and frequent from what I have seen seems to help stay thinner, but I have eaten that way my whole life so it is easy for me to do, and I am naturally very thin, so my diet is not the only thing that accounts for that thinness. I am 5' 10" and weigh about 118 lbs. That doesn't typically happen without having some genetics being involved. However, there are some very different genetics throughout my family and those who eat in the same pattern have also tended to stay thin. A lot of French people eat very rich food, but they eat small and frequent which seems to help them handle those foods without gaining undue weight. I'm not sure if the above eating pattern would help you, but it could be worth trying if you want to try cutting back on your portion sizes. Just don't change anything too fast because your body needs time to acclimate to the change. My examples though are not of people needing to lose weight, I can already stay where I'm at, but you may need something else to get where you want to be first.

And I will conclude by saying this, food has some of the most extremely differing opinions I have ever seen in any topic. This is partially because it is so complicated and partially because every person is in fact different. You can never find the "perfect" diet, our food isn't perfect after all, so a lot of the time I find it more important to try to focus on balance rather than expecting to find an ideal.
