21. For boosting antioxidant levels and for general health, I take a comprehensive vitamin-
"I take about 250 pills of nutritionals a day" and-mineral combination, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, grapeseed extract,
Ray Kurzweil resveratrol, bilberry extract, lycopene, silymarine (milk thistle), conjugated
linoleic acid, lecithin, evening primerose oil (omega-6 essential fatty acids), n-
acetyl-cystein, ginger, garlic, l-carnitine, pyrodoxal-5-phosphate, and echinacea. I
also take Chinese herbs prescribed by Dr. Glenn Rothfeld. For reducing insulin resistance
and overcoming my type 2 diabetes, I take chromium, metformine (a powerful anti-
aging medication that decreases insulin resistence and which we recommend everyone
over 50 consider taking) and gymnema sylvestra. To improve LDL and HDL cholesterol
levels, I take policosanol, gugulipid, plant sterols, niacin, oat bran, grapefruit
powder, psyllium, lecithine and lipitor. To improve blood vessel health I take arginine,
TMG and choline. To decrease blood viscosity I take daily baby aspirin and
lumbrokinase. I reduce inflammination by taking EPA/DHA and curcumin. I have
dramatically reduced my homocystein level by taking folic acid, B6 and TMG. I have a
B12 shot once a week and take a daily B12 sublingual. Several of my intravenous
therapies improve my body's detoxification: weekly EDTA and monthly DMPS. I also take
n-acetyl-carnitine orally. I take weekly intravenous vitamins and alpha lipoic acid to
boost antioxidants. I do a weekly glutathione IV to boost liver health. Perhaps the most
important intravenous therapy I do is a weekly phosphatidylcholine IV, wich
rejuvenates all of the body's tissues by restoring youthful cell membranes. I also take
PtC orally each day and supplement my hormone levels with DHEA and testosterone. I
take I-3-C, chrysin, nettle, ginger and herbs to reduce the conversation of
testosterone into estrogen. I take a saw palmetto complex for prostate health. For
stress management I take l-theonine, beta-sitosterol, phosphatidylserine and green
tea in addition to drinking 8 to 10 cups of green tea itself. At bedtime I take GABA and
sublingual melatonin. For brain health I take acetyl-l-carnitine, vinprocetine,
phosphatidylserine, ginkgo biloba, glycerylphosphatidylcholine, nextrutine and
quercertin. For eye health I take lutein and bilberry extract. For skin health I use an
antioxidant skin cream on my face, neck and hands every day. For digestive health I
take betaine HCl, pepsin, gentian root, peppermint, acidophilus bifodobacter,
fructooligosaccharides, fish proteins, l-glutamine and n-acetyl-d-glucosamine. To
inhibit the creation of advanced glycolysated end products I take n-acetyl-carnitine,
carnosine, alpha lipoic acid and quercertin.
