Metformin contains the active ingredient of guanidine, the active compound of the French Lilac (Galega officinalis), a plant used since the middle ages for the treatment of diabetes. The literature suggests that this may be available with a good diet of whole grain rice and turnips. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045206823002614

As the board-certified specialization of life style medicine moves towards to critical mass, we may well see more research on how we can use food as the ultimate medicine.

I've read about metformin in David Sinclair's book and it appears to be a good palliative. But I have found the radical secret of aging and how to defeat it. If my method holds true (it has for me for 28 years, at age 76) then I am the greatest visionary and innovator in human history. I would love to share it in a private conversation and discuss its use with Thom and perhaps some other intellectuals.
