I'm 78 and have been taking metformin for over 25 years, 2x1000mgs daily. It works great for me and causes no problems.I hope it proves itself to be an effective longevity drug also. This was an excellent video......

You noticed the Testosterone gone down after using it on blood work or not? It shuts down IGF-1 and HG axis, along with T. Its properly why it works against certain cancers and prevents mutations. I am just concerned as 43 years old on taking it if it shuts down my T more.

Great Video Doc ! Thank you sir ! This is a very good drug "Metformin" if you eat a low carb diet and no white flour , or any grains , no potaoes , no starch , no beans ,no fruit , and eat a healthy modarate protein diet , you can lose alot of weight .if you keep your blood sugar below 90 and you do fasting , you will never get heart disease or cancer . ----"What foods should I avoid if I have cancer?" This is the single most frequently asked question from people with cancer. The answer, of course, is complicated, but controlling your cancer through "diet "comes down to two principles: controlling your body's oxidation levels to prevent cancer and limiting your "sugar intake" to prevent metastasizing of cancers. There are three causes of diabetes that trigger cancer growth when your blood sugar is uncontrolled: 1. Fruit juices, sweet drinks, and refined carbs. A soft drink contains 10% sugar. So in a 1-liter bottle, you have just consumed 100 grams of sugar. If you do this three times a day and do that for 4 days, you have actually consumed about 1.2 kilograms of sugar. That is more than 2 pounds of sugar. It is beyond what the body can metabolize. We are practically growing cancer farms ! . 2. Avoid all Oily foods, especially " polyunsaturated " fatty acids. Avoid polyunsaturated foods, and fats Foods and oils with higher amounts of polyunsaturated fats include : Walnuts. Sunflower seeds. Flax seeds or flax oil. Fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, albacore tuna, and trout. Corn oil. Soybean oil. Safflower oil. Canola Oil Peanut Oil Perhaps the only known oils that do not damage the" liver " are coconut oil and lard. They are both saturated fats and in chemistry are not subjected to free radical attacks. Put a vegetable oil in the sun, side to side with coconut oil, and in one month the coconut oil remains the same but the vegetable oil will turn to glue. Imagine what happens if this occurs in the body as fats and oil tend to accumulate and stay in your body for a long time. Once the liver is damaged, it can't handle the body's sugars as well. 3. Avoid Foods That Are High in Lectins such as Red Kidney Beans, Soybeans , Peanuts, Potatoes, The highest concentrations of lectins are found in foods like legumes, grains and nightshade vegetables Avoid all Wheat products; Wheat contains a protein that destroys your pancreas, and studies show that this alone can initiate type 1 diabetes. Now in a cancer patient, if the pancreas doesn't work the blood sugar gets high, but as the pancreas gets destroyed, it can't produce pancreatic enzymes. Without enough enzymes in your system, the body cannot digest the food and we end up having cancer cachexia. "" What Not to Eat "" ; As for a short list of what not to eat, here is an excerpt from one of my private emails: NO WHEAT PRODUCTS , NO CORN PRODUCTS . NO fruit or fruit juices , NO Milk . NO COFFEE , NO sweet drinks or sodas NO sugar or artificial sugars. NO corn syrup or fructose. No Dairy NO carbonated water. Plain UN -chlorinated water is always . NO vegetable oils ...except coconut oil used in cooking. NO fried foods. NO calcium. NO large meals consisting largely of meats. On the positive side, do drink plenty of water Do not eat before sleep and no large meals at dinner. Dinnertime is best before 5 p.m. No meals after this. Obviously, no snacks and bakery products. Supplements that reduce blood sugar are helpful, as in glucophage (metformin) twice a day, B3 250 mg three times a day, and vitamin B-1 , 100 mg three times a day . Organic White tea is also important in flushing out excess sugar, while lysine, threonine, , Vitamin C, proline, tannic acid and perhaps organic green tea can help . It is MOST important, though, to get blood sugar below or equal to 90 mg/dL. You have a 97% better survival rate from cancer if you do. --- Controlling Your Blood Sugar When You Have Cancer --- My method for checking blood sugar is to do so 1 HOUR AFTER eating food. Most medical practitioners today measure blood sugar based on 12-hour fasting blood sugar, which is the wrong way to measure with cancer. The reason why they are wrong is cancer becomes metastatic after a blood sugar spike ONE HOUR AFTER A MEAL. The cancer becomes metastatic in the second hour. Obviously you have to find a cure for diabetes to cure cancer, but in more reasonable terms, if you can CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR not to exceed 110 the cancer simply can't go into metastasis. I have found three substances that get blood sugar down, namely: N acetyl Cystiene Beta carotene (mostly found in carrots) Bitter cucumber. The Nacetyl cysteine has a long-term effect (which takes about a week) to get blood sugar down, but the quickest is freshly squeezed carrot juice alone or with bitter cucumber. That gets blood sugar down fairly quickly, always less than 110. Research circles surmise that diabetes is due to a deficiency in beta-carotene and cryptoxanthin (the yellow pigments in carrot, pumpkins and orange rinds). Beta-carotene is a provitamin of Vitamin A. From my own observation I have found provitamins, or percursors of vitamins, to be far more effective than the vitamins themselves in a few cases, such as panthenol, which is a vitamin B5 of pantothenic acid or beta-carotene for example. These get blood sugar down very quickly and also have a stabilizing effect on blood pressure (in some cases there is no need to take blood pressure medicine if carrot juice is consumed). Most people with cancer are diabetic. However, most do not know they have diabetes or are border line , even if they did measure their blood sugar. Now, cancerous tumors require "sugar" and "glucose" for them to persist, but they REQUIRE FRUCTOSE TO METASTASIZE. The best way to stop the metastasis has got to be lysine , BUT WITHOUT THE CALCIUM or any dairy products . But the trigger for metastasis cancer is fructose and sugar levels. The facts on this issue of cancer survival are based on a Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) report, that people who have more than 90 mg/dL of blood sugar have a 97% increased chance of dying. And those with blood sugar below or equal to 90 mg/dL have a 97% greater chance of survival. It's a key fact that people keep overlooking. A cancer can reach general metastasis within 2 hours after consuming most fructose, especially in fruit juices of all kinds. Cancer here in Thailand exploded in the past 5 years here, right after national sales of fruit juices skyrocketed. So it's no coincidence that fruit juices, even without added sugar (called sucrose), do contain large amounts of sugars, such as the fructose found in fruits to begin with. People tell me how healthy fruits are, and of course they are healthy, for healthy people. What we fail to realize is that research studies assume people with normal blood sugar find them beneficial, and also that in laboratory rats, we prepare fruit extracts, WITHOUT the sugar fructose. Fructose is more dangerous then sucrose, but sucrose is a double sugar that has fructose and glucose built in. The body's insulin merely controls your blood glucose, but has no control of fructose directly allowing fructose, as a Trojan horse to damage the system . Regardless of the type of sugar consumed, too much sugar can cause problems. It leads to fermentation in the body that feeds and promotes yeast growth and negative bacteria. Overeating sugary foods causes constipation and gas, and this gas can back up into the bloodstream. This is where most diseases originate-from candida to cancer and everything in between. If you want to be healthy, you must learn to cut back on sugary , refine-carbs and starchy foods. The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss Paperback - Mar 4 2016 by Dr. Jason Fung (Author) --- ---www.amazon.com/.../177164.../ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0... Cancer---- In 2013 Tim was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Synovial Sarcoma. www.toughliketim.com/story.html Identifying stressful areas in your life is the first step toward reclaiming your health. Lack of enjoyment of life, money issues, worry, and fear build stress. But the most common stress on the body is eating and abusing harmful foods. Abusing foods is the most common stress to the body. People consume foods that were never meant to be in our body, they eat foods in amounts that the body can’t manage, and they eat at times they shouldn’t be eating. Before viewing my diet suggestions, please understand that health begins with what you eliminate from your diet, not with what you add. The first step in recovery and healing is to remove the problem foods from your diet. Then you can replace them with the healthy food you should have been eating from the beginning. ++-- The Causes At a fundamental level, obesity occurs when people regularly eat and drink more calories than they use. Besides a person's eating behavior, a number of factors can contribute to obesity, including a lack of physical activity, a lack of sleep, (sleep apnea) genetics and the use of certain medications that can cause weight gain or water retention, such as corticosteroids, antidepressants or some seizure medications. Modern culture and conveniences also, in part, contribute to obesity. According to the Mayo Clinic, environmental factors that promote obesity include: Oversized food portions, busy work schedules with little time for an active lifestyle, limited access to healthy foods at supermarkets, easy access to fast food and lack of safe places for physical activity.

My doctor told me to take 2000mg a day metformin . I'm not diabetic I'm not prediabetic.My blood sugar seems normal . I'm told I have a fatty liver not from alcohol.Had to be on steroidal supplements for a while I.e. prednisone and methotrexate. I am overweight but I must say I still look good. I'd say 75% of the population I observe are more overweight than I am. I eat healthy and don't care much for anything with sugar . I sometimes wonder if my metformin is causing slight urinary incontinence Gas and diarrhea have not been a problem although I was concerned in the beginning.. I often reduce my dose to 1500mmg a day when I'm not feeling it.I read on the internet that metformin remains effective at 1500 mg. Sometimes I'll take a day or two off the metformin.Its the rebel in me I guess.I make a lot of these decisions on my own because info from my doctor is relegated to me having to make an an appointment for every decision.So I follow internet specialists and other peoples experience.Basically anywsy I need tk eat well and exercise although its more difficult when you're handicapped and tire easily. One day at a time don't eat junk and be kind to yourself.
