Happy Birthday!

I use a liquid vitamin supplement which contains concentrated quantities of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. I figure the best way to stay healthy is to give the body more of the nutrients it uses to maintain and repair itself. I use a 1.5 oz shot of the stuff every morning. Tastes good too.

Additional nutrients that may not be supplied by diet alone, may have the invigorating & health promoting effect you are seeking from a tonic.

Proper nutrients and sufficient exercise tends to promote health in almost all cases.

Here's to your health, may you be healthy and happy for another 55 years!

What doctor recomended that concoction? I have diabetese, I have had open heart surgery, but my doctors never recomended a witches brew like that to insure good health. I take both vitimins, and prevenitive medication, to insure longivity.

I was 55 years old when I first started experiencing my health issues, and my recomendation to you is to get an anual physical. Have you had a colonoscopy yet? In order for you to be considered in good health you need your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar under controle. That tonic that you drink has nothing to do with your actual health. It is cool to come up with home made remedies, but please include a doctors consultation. A doctors care is the best way for you to live to be 90 years old.

That my friend is my birthday present to you

Happy Birthday Doug!

My tonic consists of coke, peanutbutter crackers and 2 egg McMuffins with hashbrowns, or whatever is left in the fridge from last night. I usually go through a six pack of cokes in a day.

And the good news... I'm type 1 diabetic, been that way my entire life. But my doctor calls me an enigma as I find it hard to function at a blood sugar <200. My cholosterol is 118, my blood pressure is normal, kidneys and liver are perfect, and in spite of smoking a pack and half a day since I was 15 until I was 32 (47 now) my lungs are spotless and I have the heart and lungs of a 15 year old. My doctor last told me, "Mulder and Scully must have a file on you."

All this means, I'll probably drop dead with a massive something or another.

Rock Steady, Peace and Godspeed.

Peace, brother!

How is your circulation, I mean spacifically how are your feet? How are your kidneys? How is your vision, do you see little black spots? At 47 years old you are still a young man, but I'm afraid that your real problems are just about to begin. I'm sure your doctor has given you these warnings, and I wish you a long and prosperous life.

I too was a teen aged smoker (back when smoking was cool)

I am far sighted but I have always had that. Circulation is great. kidneys and liver are good to go. No, black spots. But I do drink my fair share of water, but no mor that usual. I have always had to drink water since I was young. I'm a superhero... just can't find the keys to Batmobile sometimes.... nor my wallet.

Peace and Godspeed.

A disappointing amount of good health is attributable to good luck.

A lot of it has to do with your genetic bodily constitution. I'm convinced of that. Some folks, like my grandfather who lived to 103 or 105) can get away with more. (And he got away with a lot!)

Others simply can't.

On the other hand, my grandfather had a diet HEAVY in garlic, onions and all that stuff. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I think what really kick started my interest, though, was when I was at work (Before my factory went to Mexico) and this guy, name of Mark, told me that he had had high blood pressure, but he lowered it into acceptable range himself WITHOUT a doctors help. In fact, he got it WAY DOWN, No lipitor, none of that big Pharma stuff.

I asked him how he did it.

He replied "I Did one simple thing. I replaced all the oil in my diet with olive oil. That's all."

That's when I thought. "Ol' Jack Lalanne is right! What you put in your mouth has a TREMENDOUS impact on the state of your bodily health."

So I hit the Google button. Sure enough, glowing testimonies as to the efficacy of olive oil in lowering blood pressure were abundant.

Of course, that olive oil secret has been known for centuries, but big Pharma doesn't want you to know that! "No! Buy OUR expensive magic pill!" (But try not to pay TOO much attention to the killer side effects!)

Anyway, from there, I Googled other natural food items that have a long history of being effective in promoting health and warding off disease.

And many of them only cost a few pennies....

LOL!

Vegan is great, but be careful of too much soy. Most of it is GMO and high levels of soy are correlated with excess estrogen production.

I did a pure vegetarian diet years ago. I don't think my body chemistry was made for it. I grew very thin, and I don't mean thin, I mean almost skeletal.

I had to stop it.
