When there's UFO journalism without skepticism

she was a genius.. I tried some magnesium in the form of magnesium sulfate.  Very strange indeed, it tended to give me migraines! A fortunate thing I found out is quercetin is a common plant flavinoid which I hopefully get lot of from my diet which is mostly leaves by volume. Your approach to taking it during times of special need makes sense.. Hmm the aspirin risk for AMD rises from  0.5% to 1%. It's a kinda small risk but it doubles it.

I use mundane magnesium oxide (taken with a meal). But I very much doubt the result would be any different if your body reacts negatively to the element when it's not interlocked in natural food compounds. Mineral supplements can potentially be hard on the kidneys if taken daily, so accordingly it's purely my substitute for high-dose aspirin (personal neck ache remedy).

Quercetin doesn't occur in large enough amounts in veggies/fruits to deal with the wintertime illnesses that try to get a foothold on me, so that's why I turn to the ludicrously high-dose capsules. Accordingly, also why I only take it when there is something respiratory related to knock out.

Again, no one else should try it for such -- it's like magnesium eliminating some types of pain for me but causing the opposite for you. It's why personal experiences will never be part of the establishment defense against illness -- because only generally successful results applicable to the whole population pass the filter (quite understandably, and then some).

Well, you know what I say about some areas of biomedical research -- if you don't like a conclusion then just a wait a decade or less and it'll probably change. It's an endeavor subsumed along with the psychological and social sciences under the replication crisis and the broader science malaise -- so I take much of what they declare either way with a grain of salt. They're so hip on its cardiovascular promise that they may subconsciously smudge the setup for evaluating deteriorating eyesight.

No more high-dose aspirin for me. I'll trust my liver to handle acetaminophen better than my eyes can handle leakiness, if it comes to that.

A possibility that occurred to me is that the ionic form of magnesium in magnesium sulfate hits my system too hard with too chemically active magnesium.. I wonder if quercetin might remove some senescent cells from the immune system.

It's kind of one of those daily unsettling conundrums to me.  Use something to tweek the body's systems one way, and risk other problems, or risk the original problem continuing, or worse, having both problems when using the thing. My natural pessimism leaves less than ideal solutions bothering me until a better one comes to mind.
