Thanks for the detailed answers.
Therefore, you actually meant 'No', to only one undisclosed - and therefore potentially dangerous research chemical?
And the one undisclosed ingredient is actually one herb already used in traditional Chinese medicine. But by keeping one ingredient and the extraction method undisclosed for protecting the invention, you are still using a combination of different Chinese medicine herbs in each of your proprietary formulas.
And you actually do individualize the regimen by combining some of your dozens formulas to a customer's needs.
Now, I also understand why you were concerned my continuous dosing would cause 'equal levels'. Here you call it resistance, With particular herbs this can happen, and in those cases also use wash-out periods. However, most of my regimens ingredients are vitamins, minerals (used or avoided), amino acids, many herbal and fruit extracts too. But the latter at much lower doses, and very few to rotate.
And in my case a water-fast along with dropping all supplementation for a few days, immediately brings up slight symptoms of intermittent claudication. Therefore, in my case with chronic diseases, obviously most of my remissions happen through continuous supplementation of dietary ingredients with specific pharmaceutical actions.
Now I've got a much clearer picture. Thanks.
That's one way to understand it.
I believe that true youthfulness is represented by the ability to perform movements just like young people, as demonstrated below.

Methods for Self-Assessing the Degree of Aging
Everyone wants to stay young and avoid aging, but we are all nourished by daily sustenance and are mere mortals. What we need to do is understand our body's condition, take early precautions, and delay diseases and aging. According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, the risk of death gradually increases starting around the age of 65 as physical functions decline. In fact, there are signs ten years before a person’s death, such as difficulty rising from a chair or dressing. Experts believe that early detection of changes in physical condition can help prevent accelerated aging. Further analysis of deceased participants shows:
- 10 years before death, their sit-to-stand ability was poor;
- 7 years before death, they self-reported poor physical function;
- 4 years before death, their daily activities became more difficult;
- In the final stage before death, their sleep quality was extremely poor, making it hard to fall asleep.
1.[Sit-Stand Ability Test]
The Sit-Stand Ability Test can assess the health of a person's ligaments, joints, and lumbar spine, particularly for middle-aged and elderly individuals. Stand in front of a chair, cross your arms over your chest, and repeatedly sit down and stand up. If an elderly person can complete 25 or more repetitions within 30 seconds, it indicates good lower limb bone and muscle strength; otherwise, it suggests lower limb muscle deterioration.
2.[One-Leg Standing with Eyes Closed]
According to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standards (2023 Revised)" published by the National Physical Fitness Monitoring Center, there is a test called the One-Leg Standing with Eyes Closed. This test is for adults aged 20 to 79 and should be carried out under safe conditions. During the test, close your eyes and lift one foot while the other foot stands on a hard, flat surface. Start timing to see how many seconds you can maintain this position. For middle-aged and elderly individuals aged 50 and above, the inability to stand on one leg with eyes closed for at least 10 seconds significantly increases the mortality risk by 84% within the next 4 to 9 years compared to those who can maintain balance for 10 seconds. If you are under 50 and cannot hold this position for 10 seconds, it is something you should take seriously.
3.[Sitting-Rising Test]
Sit cross-legged on the floor, then stand up without using your hands or knees for leverage or balance. This test is closely related to the likelihood of dying from various causes. If you can stand up without using your hands, forearms, knees, or one side of your leg, you score full marks. A landmark study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that if an adult male or female can sit down and rise from the floor using only one hand—or even better, without using hands at all—they are not only at a higher level of musculoskeletal health but also have a longer life expectancy compared to others.
4.[Calf Raise]
Stand barefoot facing a wall, with your fingertips lightly touching the wall at shoulder height and your elbows slightly bent. Place your feet hip-width apart. Raise your heels as high as possible, lock your knees, then lower your body by bending your knees. Repeat the entire motion and count how many times you can do it within 30 seconds. Adults should aim to complete 25 calf raises in 30 seconds. A study published in the Journal of Sport and Physical Therapy found that adults who score highest in calf raises demonstrate higher levels of functional adaptability, strength, explosive power, speed, and range of motion.
5.[Push-Ups]
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, for women aged 20-40, being able to do 19-30 consecutive push-ups is considered good, while for men of the same age range, 21-36 is a good range. For individuals aged 50-60, completing 10-21 push-ups is considered good. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2019 found that adult men who cannot do at least 10 push-ups have a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease over the next ten years compared to those who can do more. Men who can do over 40 push-ups in one go have a 96% lower risk of heart disease in the next ten years compared to those who cannot do 10 push-ups.
6.[Fingers Touching Behind the Back]
Place your right hand over your right shoulder with fingers extended, and your left hand behind your back with fingers extended. If you can make your fingers touch, you score high. Otherwise, have someone measure the gap in centimeters between the fingertips of your middle fingers. Repeat the test by switching sides. Your goal is to get your fingertips as close to touching as possible on both sides. Researchers noted in Time magazine that shoulders and the trunk lose flexibility more quickly than elbows and knees, and men lose this flexibility faster than women. A study on clinical interventions in aging found that middle-aged women perform 20-40% better than men in this test.
7.[How Far Can You Walk in 6 Minutes?]
This test is a key indicator of endurance, aerobic capacity, cardiovascular, and lung health. The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is an established aerobic capacity measurement method developed by the American Thoracic Society. If you cannot walk more than 350 meters on a flat route, it may indicate poor cardiovascular function and could be a sign of health issues such as respiratory or lung diseases, muscle loss, or underlying illnesses. Perform a 6-minute power walk (not a run) on a hard, flat surface and measure the distance walked. Ideally, your goal should be to cover a distance between 400 meters and 700 meters.
I scored full marks on all the tests mentioned above.

Just as in the West.
