Bit of background; my First Degree, obtained very many years ago from Nottingham Uni in the UK, is in Biochemistry.  You would expect a certain cynicism about alternative Chinese Medicine from such as I, but I have been a follower, and user, of such medicines for many years. Living for a few years in Hong Kong and Taiwan helped the exposure to this branch of health.  I have treated colds, ( not Covid!) , sore throats, tummy issues and lately gout, arthritis and back pain, all with alternative Chinese medicine sources.  In general, I have found them as effective as traditional medications and in some cases, with the arthritis , more helpful.  I would be interested in the experience of others who take this approach.  As an aside, I exclude acupuncture, which I think is a scam, but others may have had more positive experiences with it.

My son bought a small bag of the leaves just before Christmas, boiled them up & strained it. He added a packet a Lipton Tea to make it palatable, otherwise it tastes bitter.

I drink a small glass of it - 150 ml or so, & it gives a very good night's sleep, without the 'hangover' that some compounds can give.

It also is a great pain reliever. I get the backache, leg aches etc, & drinking Kratom occasionally, makes it go away.

I've inserted a link from a drug abuse website. I think that Kratom is like any other drug if used 'sensibly' & not abused or refined so that one gets a huge dose of it, which then causes health issues.

Lots of how to websites and videos on the net, at least it's worth a look in my opinion.

I noticed lots of longevity/anti aging scientists/doctors talk about a recent study showing increased omega 3 fatty acid intake to increase lifespan. 
 

here’s the study a lot of people are mentioning

anyone take supplemental omega 3 fatty acid? I’ve been taking high concentration epa/dha omega 3 supplements for a while now, Kirkland brand. They seem to be reputable with quality control, ie no issues with heavy metal contamination (mercury) or rancid oils.

So gentlemen, don't try this at home...or anywhere else!

As far as hydroxychloroquine this drug has been around since the 1950.  It was developed to help people with Malaria but is it used for people with Lupus.  These people are on it for years.  If this is a safe drug and has been used for decades, than why does the CDC and FDA not let it be used for treating people with Covid-19 if doctors want to prescribe it.  Since a few months after Covid-19 started doctors are questioned by Pharmacist when they write prescription for hydroxychloroquine.  This happened to a good friend of mine who is a doctor.  He currently has Covid-19 in the US and he cannot get this drug for himself to help him recover.  Those are the facts not my opinion which Tim seems to like to share.

Seeing a senior doctor later this week..little bit skin cancer.

Thanks

If interested, the TAME study is the current study and it seems like it's very well organized by Nir Barzilai. Keep in mind the study isn't specifically to prove that Metformin can increase lifespan, but to prove it is possible to increase lifespan with a drug, which can open up research to other drugs being researched for increasing lifespan. 

Really cheap here in Thailand, 20 baht for 10 pills (500mg) at my local pharmacy and it is completely legal. If you have time it's an interesting rabbit hole to get into and you only have to understand highschool chemistry/biology for the most part to understand a lot of how it works to increase lifespan. Also comes with it's own set of risks so do your own research and decide if you're willing to take those risks for the possible benefits.
