Last
30 years has led me to read and philosophize about many systems of thought. Overall,
however, a scientific epistemology has guided me and saved me from many
lazy-accepted or experience=OIE driven models. There is still the
scientific method in me that requires me to doubt and question, even when I
conform for that is the thing to do.
Three questions were basic beyond the simplistic observations
– a
weltanschauung – what was the reality I was bathed in, how could I prolong
my and parent’s interesting lives and determine answers to relevant question
without manipulation and bias.
And I obtained answers satisfactory to me, consistent to
treatments of aging disease (FDA does not think it is, I do), is consistent
with modern medicine and lovely growable. Modern medicine is extrapolated to be
best possible for acute phases and measurements in chronic diseases but limited
in chronic diseases from study method limitations in chronic diseases when
acute disease-like studies work on successful treatment of short episodes but
NO solution as good for underlying disease! In fact, acute episodes in chronic
care are still best handled by mm care!
Aging is a chronic disease. Strongest telltale signs are
measurable chemical constant decline with age! Only long studies can ascertain if
the right treatment is followed. Till then, acute care studies are needed.
These however have a different meaning in my aaqgs treatment. An acute study
returns three values – harmful, useful, and irrelevant. All harmful effects are
obeyed. Useful effects are supported. However, once useful but now useless but
unhurt full things consistent with sensible theory are okay.
1 Some supplements are ok, even if useless. However,
supplement-usefulness may be cultural, e.g. cur cumin makes sense in the west
but not in India.
2 Some supplement add are sensible based on long experience
of native medicine but may be just harmless in west, e.g. trikatu. Even if
known, the patented perfection, i.e. bioPerine® may or may not be
extra-effective or even worse.
3 One must distinguish between quality hypothesization and
study. The latter may result in less ambiguous high-quality results but may
take time. Then quick informal but independently tested studies on hypothesis
make sense in parallel to formal studies. That is certainly true with Niagen™
and claim of enhanced nicotanamide riboside (unless licensed) with integral
trikatu by aaqgs. As a further proof, convincing to me, trikatu coq10 enhanced
regular coq10 for me and will be tried by wife and parents.
Functions as manager
Given that Niagen™, CoQ10, Metformin and ECP have passed my
filters over long study of literature (have avoided Reservetrol and Glutathione,
yesterday hype) it follows need to
1.
Decide on endurance tests
Dosages, justifications, (NR before meals, coQ10
with meals, ECP only after 1year gap etc)
Combination and when
Stoppage and when (Niagen™ must be stopped 3
days after bottle out etc)
5Research on purchase quality, prices, taxes &
source
What to add, when and how
What to remove, when and replacement
In short, My (six week retreat + see Delhi) idea makes sense! Staying at my site ensures healthy relevant food. ECP
requires that long anyway! The idea of at-cost service for friends and
relatives is useful for commercial side – new scientific ideas, no religious bullshit
but free to believe whatever, to defeat
age-old problem of aging.
Motto – how to
die young at very old age!
