  1. Greetings.. As a 'Septuagenarian', enjoying life here to the fullest, as long as we can, with the possible (no reason why not) affordable enhancements (better living through Chemistry?) to 'slow it all down'.. After much research, for like mind and body, here's some recommendations from my daily regimen: After the most important, Exercise, Sleep, Sex, Stresslessness, Music and Gratitude! A Sensible Compassionate Sensitive balanced Diet, with a healthy dose of Moderation esp with substances that the body is more challenged to process, in our advanced years... Medicinal 'Shrooms powder- Cordyceps, Lions Mane, Reishi in Tea Occasional and frequent Herbal enhancements including: Ashwaganda, Maca Root, Curcumin (Turmeric), Finger Root, Centella Asiatica (Pennywort, Gotakola, (Thai: Bua Bok), Moringa Oleifera (leaves & Bean Pods), non essential Amino Acid powder cocktail (meaning not the 9 essentials needed to form protein), GlyNAC = Glycine + N-acetyl Cysteine, Taurine, L-Serine can buy all in bulk on Laz. Start with 500 mgs of each, blend and keep airtight... 2 tsp (1/2 tsp) is about 2 grams of each . optional: add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Ascorbic Acid powder with 1/8 to 1/4 Bicarb Soda.. wisk into water, juice, Kombucha or sprinkle on fruit and cereal. It has a nice tart taste! NMN 500mgs, NR 250 mgs, D3 5 -10k IU's (125 - 250mcgs) + K2, Sirolimus (Rapamycin) 2-5 mgs, B12 5000mcg, Magnesium Threonate 350mgs, time release Melatonin 5mgs, A strong Multi-vite, Quercetin, Berberine, Bi annual Epitalon (look it up). PM me for further details or sources..
  2. Be very wary and avoid this slickly advertised 'too good to be true' company! Am an Expat living a long time in Thailand, where there are not strict rules or oversite on company's like these. Obviously there are to a discerning eye and mind, mostly fake, empty illiterate 5 star ratings online, to boost their averages. Reading carefully, almost all of those so called positive reviews, have no details and only say they are so kind and do whatever they are supposed to. This is called 'Astroturfing'! Look it up. Means planting fake positive reviews online, on review websites! After a few years with them, I can attest to the fact that they denied claims that the other legit companies all do cover, in my final case with them, an inguinal hernia, with no history or record of 'pre-existing'. They also denied payment for a kidney stone, also a first time with no history or reason, besides saying some med I might have taken 15 years ago, might have caused it.. Again several hospital's insurance departments told me that other companies generally always pay for this procedure! To mention also, the 'small print' that they will not cover any hospital inpatient stay and will reduce the total of all surgical and medical expenses by 20% if staying in a Private room, which many hospitals here only offer! After consulting Insurance departments of several major hospitals here, was told by several of them, that these people have a history of not paying, which is why they do not get pre approved, as other reputable company's do. They do not get back to you, as they advertise, in a 'timely manor' as they claim, unless it is to get more money from you! Had to wait 3 days in expensive hospital waiting to hear back from their so called in house 'expert', for their refusal to pay for kidney stone treatment. Was told they have an office here, but false. Was told they are backed by a known Brit and Hong Kong Re-assurance company, but also false! As mentioned many times here, they are only registered on Nevis, a small tax haven Caribbean Island. Very suspicious obviously. So that is where one must go to or complain to (try and find that phone number!)!? I also was shunted off to the infamous "Maria" in HK, who was very good at delaying and giving false hope of resolution, but just great at putting us off.. The original price was suspiciously inexpensive, but the annual fees jumped surprisingly fast once signed up, once i passed the 70 year old barrier to get any other company to provide cover! Shopping around for a real reputable company, have spoken with several agents who have inevitably heard about them and it is becoming more known in that industry, at least here, that these guys are complete phoney rip offs! Hopefully a Class Action Suit, will happen! There will always be ignorant fools and suckers who will empty their pockets and fall for these guys, enough to keep them in business. Further more, there is no objective comparative website (that doesn't sell and get commissions for selling for them) that ranks or reviews insurance company's with this group included, favorably. Please do careful diligent research before committing money in a once in a lifetime decision!
  3. yes it is, 800 baht a box of 30 at the SE chemist, suk, near soi 15
  4. I've had and used this one for the past few years. Haven't yet replaced the filter, although i have a spare one and they are easy to find, because every few months I remove it, then using a strong vacuum cleaner hose only, carefully suck the dust back out of it, and clean the the interior parts. I use a small Mi handheld pollution meter to check the air coming out of it after, and it is good as new. Easy to move from living to bedroom. After a night of it running on 2 out of 4, and using the Plasma setting, the metter shows room has 003 from 045 when I turned it on..
  5. In local Chemists, I like and found Cellufresh MD, by Allergan, in the green plastic bottle, as good as or better then and cheaper than the others..
