God says I can live as long as I want if I take care of myself and follow His advice.
No smoking. No drinking alcohol. He gives me suggestions on how to deal with health conditions, but it is up to me to take action on them.
So here is what I am currently doing at age 79 along with my organic vegetable farm work.

For my Type 2 diabetes, I take my one prescription medicine (Glipizide 5mg) at night between 12 and 3AM when I get up for other reasons. This makes a big difference for my blood sugar reading when I det up to start my day, preventing the Dawn Phenomenon from raising my blood sugar to unacceptable high levels. In the last 6 months my A1c went from 8.2 to 6.9.

For skin and joint inflammation, I apply a few drops of Arnica oil externally twice a day. This helps a lot. I make the Arnica Oil.

To prevent tooth gum bleeding, I take 1000 mg vitamin C daily.

To prevent a few drops of blood when I start to urinate, I take 900 mg Saw Palmetto and 1 capsule of Curcuminoids once a day.

To help prevent night leg cramps, I take 400mg Magnesium Citrate, twice a day.

To help my brain stay healthy, I take Ginko Biloba (also helps leg and foot circulation), Neuro-Mag (gets to the brain better) and Lion’s Mane.

To prevent glaucoma, I take Eye Pressure Support which includes research supported Mirtogenol.

I take Vitamin D3 5000iu daily and a Multivitamin which contains an additional 2000iu of vitamin D3.

I take Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin for nerve support.

I am using external curcuminoid cream on unknown spot on my leg. Recent research shows it may cure certain types of cancer.

For my new Inguinal hernia, I just started using exercises and applying comfrey externally (in Healing Salve that I make). No results yet.

Stevia significantly lowered my blood pressure two days in a row. When I got up in the morning the blood pressure was 139/88 and 139/85. An hour after having my coffee with organic stevia it was 128/80 and 129/76. It is important to use the right stevia. My stevia is SweetLeaf Organic Stevia Leaf Extract. It is available at the North Country Marketplace in Colebrook, NH.
The prepackaged stuff that comes in liquid, powder, and granulated form typically may have very little actual stevia in it. Instead, it contains a highly refined extract called Rebaudioside A (or Reb A) – the sweetest of all the natural compounds in the stevia leaf – which is often blended with other sweeteners like erythritol, a sugar alcohol, and dextrose, a simple sugar.

Here are some research confirming the blood pressure lowering of stevia.

Lower cholesterol without statin medications
Sytrinol and Polycosanol are all natural supplements that can lower cholesterol (total and LDL)
as much as some statin meds without the side effects. See attached articles for details.
The product shown contains both.
Statin medications can cause many side effects that many people want to avoid especially with long term use including the most frequently reported side effects nasopharyngitis, arthralgia, diarrhea, pain in extremity, and urinary tract infection. Other potential side effects include Gastrointestinal, Hepatic, Musculoskeletal, Hematologic, Nervous system, Endocrine, Hypersensitivity, Psychiatric, Genitourinary, Dermatologic, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Ocular, and Metabolic.
Since it is easy to take a supplement every day compared to foods that could lower cholesterol, this supplement is a good long term solution. If eaten every day, foods that could lower cholesterol include garlic, oatmeal, barley, ground flax seed, high fiber vegetables, and green tea.
During my recovery from a heart attack and open heart surgery, I was told to take the maximum dosage of Lipitor (80 mg per day) for at least 3 months to try to keep the LDL as close to 70 as possible.. The 3 months is up and I am about to get the LDL tested. Once tested I w
ill be using the Sytrinol and Polycosanol product to see what it can do for me.
This Sytrinal/Policosanol product is available at the North Country Marketplace in Colebrook. NH.

What if Covid is like the common cold and cannot be eradicated? They are both coronavirus types. What will help protect from severe symptoms?
Keep your immune system strong.
Take vitamin D3 (5000-10000 iu per day).
Eat orange vegetables like winter squash (Beta Carotene is converted to vitamin A as needed).
Eat garlic and onions.
Take Super Garlic Immune Syrup. (Strengthens immune system, kills germs and viruses)
Take Reishi mushroom. (Strengthens immune system.)
Take elderberry or echinacea at first sign of symptoms.
Vitamin C and Zinc may also help.
All of the above items are available at the North Country Marketplace in Colebrook, NH.
I use Super Garlic Immune Syrup to minimize symptoms of all colds, flu and similar infections. It is very powerful if used at the start of infection (“something is trying to get me” is my queue). If the infection persists I take a teaspoon every few hours until it is gone.
Vitamin D3 must be at a high enough level in the body to protect. Vitamin D can activate hundreds of protective proteins. Usually 5000-10000 IU per day will be enough to get the level to 60-80 mg/dl of 25(OH)D circulating in the body which is the optimum protection level. (A blood test is needed to know this level).
Wearing a mask and distancing in crowds may be need for a long time as well.

Sage for improved memory!
One tablespoon of common sage per day has improved memory in some people according to research.
Sometimes we all need a little help, when it can be done safely and with good taste.
One of the many uses of sage is to improve memory in younger and older adults. It has even improved some Alzheimer patients.
It can be added to foods, like chicken or turkey, or taken as a tea. It can be used fresh or dried.
Sage plants are available for you to grow your own at the North Country Marketplace See picture below.

Echinacea or Garlic
Both improve the immune system according to many research reports. A stronger immune system may help prevent or reduce the risk of getting sick, the severity or length of a flu or cold. Garlic also kills germs and virus directly. Both can be taken at the same time. Echinacea should be taken for seven days every other week. Garlic can be taken in small quantities every day to build up the immune system or in larger quantities if there is a problem. Garlic is available in many effective forms such as fresh, Super Garlic Immune Syrup or garlic salve for external use. All these forms of garlic are available now and both alcohol and non-alcohol (glycerin) forms of echinacea tincture (shipment expected by 3/24/20) at the North Country Marketplace in Colebrook, NH.

Elderberry, respiratory infections and the flu.
There is a large amount of research that supports that elderberry can substantially reduce upper respiratory symptoms. For example, a pubmed metanalysis of 180 participants came to this conclusion. In another example,
Madeleine Mumcuoglu, Ph.D. of Hadassah-Hebrew University in Israel found that elderberry disarms the neuraminidase enzyme which flu viruses use to pe*****te healthy organism cells. Twenty percent of her flu study subjects reported significant improvement within 24 hours, 70% by 48 hours, and 90% claimed complete cure in three days. In contrast, subjects receiving the placebo required 6 days to recover.
It can provide a wider coverage and has already proven effective against eight strains of influenza, according to this study. Elderberry tincture is available at the North Country Marketplace in Colebrook, NH. Do not eat the seeds which may cause nausea.
