just to say that those of us in the UK who have to queue ages to see a GP and then queue again....

Might find it easier to start supplementing with Berberine rather than wait for a metformin prescription.

Wow, Doctor. That about Losartan is very interesting. I take a small amount and also my husband. (75 & 77 respectively..He has had a triple bypass in the past so he is on statins.)I notice I have few joint pains when I am also more careful in my grains and seed oil consumption. I am transitioning out of a keto diet into one with more GOOD simple carbs and glucose sources and a bit of starch. Also 3 meals a day. I realized I am eating way too little and my calcium intake is poor (2 bad falls within 3 years requiring surgeries). I’m adding carbs slowly. This is a pro metabolic direction I am studying. I kind of think IF ing constantly may not be working for me anymore because I am just not hungry and under eating as a result. I walk a lot and work out appropriately for my age. Since I have been transitioning I do feel better. No pains, higher over the day energy, etc. I’m not overweight. I’m going to look over the studies. Thanks again for your posts.

Dr. Barbara O’Neill would say never to take calcium for any of this. She has a very informative & interesting take on all this.

Muscle activities, eating wholesome foods, intermittent fasting, and fasting can go a long way to slow down and even reverse the ravages of aging, chronic diseases including osteoarthritis.

Thanks Laura. I think that many of us would like to be healthier and keep doing the things that we love longer. The new medical science makes that possible.
