So much happening. Going to announce my two new supplements
at Linus Pauling meeting Aug 14-16, one to reduce risk of Alzheimer’s and

Dear readers,

I am very excited about a new discovery described in the
abstract that follows this explanation.

restriction (DR) decreases chronic inflammation; A lower epigenetic age results
from eating fish, fruits, vegetables, moderate alcohol, higher education,
higher income, and more exercise; Rapamycin slows epigenetic aging […] Read more »

Nov ’18 aspirin study keeps getting
media coverage. It claimed deadly risks of aspirin outweigh benefits for heart disease
& stroke. The daily aspirin study should be interpreted with
caution! – In a 5 yr study of 20,000 over 65 in the US and Australia, the risk
of death from any cause was 12.7 events per 1000 person-years in the […] Read more »
