If you do moronic things in order to achieve something good you are a moron.

Regardless of this gastritis there is exactly zero chance of taking 100 supplements daily being good for you.

How is what he's doing moronic?

'Regardless of this gastritis there is exactly zero chance of taking 100 supplements daily being good for you.' <-- Why? Actually delineate your reasoning, considering the level of daily/weekly monitoring he undergoes.

A single subject experiment with no controls, no clearly measurable or articulated goals, and with no method of actual determination for success has a 0% chance of ever being remotely successful.

There is no way to know his pre supplemental lifespan. There is no way to know his continued pre supplemental quality of life. There is no way to compare his progress or lack thereof to a blind placebo control subject. There is no way to quantify the effect on any specific supplement or series of supplements, once again because there’s no blind control aspect of the study, and there’s nobody taking a mix of these drugs but not all of them.

There is 0 scientific or widespread value to the “study” that he’s doing and it’s incredibly debatable if there’s any actual value to just himself. It’s moronic to waste tens of millions of dollars experimenting on yourself without any of the actual methods or controls in place to measure results and make the experiment successful

You think it’s hilarious to suggest that a study should involve people taking different doses of the drugs administered, including a blind group being told they are taking the drugs but are actually given placebos, to measure the effects of new and experimental drugs/treatments?

You think it’s hilarious to suggest the most respected and only accepted public use of medical studies? OK then

It it quite literally fundamentally impossible to test new drugs/treatment on a singular person. This is medically useless with controls

When there is no standard of care for something we absolutely give dying patients sugar pills. How do you think we establish a standard of care?

And fine then what’s the measurable and quantifiable goal of these experiments? What is the baseline they are testing against?
