Re[2]: [DIYbio] How does one hire a bio lab technician for consulting?

thanks for the message and for being concerned. I am familiar with body
dysmorphia more as an observer than a suffer. waaaaay back when I was
young I did my stint with body building and steroids. I'm lucky that it
did not turn into an addiction for me. I have friends who did not fare
so well. One of them , a radiologist with whom I attended medical school
died at the age of 31 from a massive heart attack resulting from
cardiomegaly.
Today I am the poster child for just about every damn age-related
degenerative condition, I had three artificial intervertebral disks in
my neck (before they were approved) due too herniated disks. The veins
in my legs are basically useless forcing me to wear compression socks
always. I got Halux Valgus (bunions) in both feet almost overnight, and
while i have no cavities, I do have chronic aggressive periodontal
disease with bone loss. There's more but i'll hold off. two of my
conditions have been shown to respond and even resolve with stem cell
therapy. With periodontitis, stem cell injections right on the receding
edge of the bone in a matrix that keeps them there for a little while
significantly stimulates not just bone but all the lost tissues to grow.
That treatment is actually in practice but it costs a fortune and I'm
about to loose 4 teeth if i don't act soon,.
the other which i have mentioned is more of a problem with even less of
a solution but in which stem cells have shown remarkable efficacy..
Believe me i have no thing about wanting to inject stem cells for
vanity. I would love to not have to go through all this trouble, So no
danger of me doing this just for th hell of it.

To your other point, I am absolutely into anti aging but in a true way,
not just superficially. If i had the money i would have a protocol for
myself that attacks some of the key drives and pay people to force me
to do things like intermittent fasting, being in bed by midnight, and
exercising consistently. that right there is has more impact than just
about any single drug. Then I'd buy myself a plasmapheresis machine, and
get my hands on 4 or 5 of the molecules in this list:

so my metric for "youthfulness" would not be things like wrinkles but
rather LDL/HDL ratio, GFR, C-reactive protein, HBAC, blood pressure,
physical strength, cognitive performance, etc.
