Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Can you tell us about the changes in your intensive supplement regimen?
Rick Rosner: Certainly. I was diagnosed with early-stage kidney cancer, specifically stage 1a, and underwent surgery to remove a three-centimeter tumor. Fortunately, they saved my kidney, and despite high creatinine levels due to my regular workouts, my kidney function is pretty good. After years of worrying about these creatinine-based kidney function readings, we tried a different measurement method and got reassuring results. However, I am conscious of the strain my vitamin and supplement intake might be putting on my kidneys. One notable change in my regimen is the elimination of methylene blue, which is believed to help clear brain plaque linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. I’ve used it intermittently for years, and now I’m also using Isotine, which seems to be a safer option for cleansing.
Regarding my general supplement routine, I’ve become somewhat lax since my diagnosis nearly three years ago. Previously, I would meticulously prepare around four months’ worth of supplements, totaling about 8,000 pills. This system was quite organized, but post-diagnosis, I adopted a more casual approach, simply choosing supplements from various bottles rather than systematically preparing them. Only recently have I started pre-arranging my supplements again, though on a smaller scale – just for 40 days, which is less intensive than before. My approach now is more about convenience than thoroughness, and I haven’t rigorously evaluated each supplement for its efficacy.
Jacobsen: Which supplement do you most endorse based on your research and experience?
Rosner: I’m a strong advocate for Metformin and have recently added Fisetin to my regimen. Fisetin acts as a senolytic, targeting aged cells that contribute to inflammation and overall cellular dysfunction. Notably, after taking Fisetin, I observed a significant improvement in my urinary flow, a common issue for men as they age due to prostate enlargement. However, I’ve noticed some decline recently, indicating a need for a medical checkup. Another medication I find beneficial is Avodart, a pharmaceutical, not a supplement, that helps with hair and prostate health.
I also recognize the importance of dental hygiene, like flossing, to prevent bacteria from entering the digestive system and potentially affecting the heart. My regimen includes Baby Aspirin to manage minor blood clots in my leg and prevent more serious clots. Additionally, I take Statin for cholesterol management, allowing some dietary leniency, and Lesca, another cholesterol blocker. For blood pressure, Toprol has been effective for me with minimal side effects. I’ve been on it for over 25 years, noting its calming effects on my temperament. Finally, Omega supplements, or fish oil, are also part of my routine.
