I’m afraid that especially the Western countries have dug themselves a hole. Increasing wages has been the go to economic strategy which after a while means that manufacturing is far to expensive & then you find nearly everything being made off shore, like medications. India & China is the world’s biggest drug manufacturer making us all reliant on them. I can’t see how it can be turned around now, it’s gone to far & if anything happens in those countries, like a pandemic, war or natural disaster we are all screwed. In my opinion globalisation is no longer a good idea on the scale we currently see

I don’t think globalization was EVER a good idea and certainly not at this point. And you’re right about this system here in the US. I’ve nothing against higher wages, but we have been steadily (artificially) inflating costs across the board due to our corrupt and idiotic monetary policy. This makes raising wages necessary so people can live.

Sad thing is the higher income doesn’t elevate lifestyle. It BARELY covers cost increases and, in many cases, it doesn’t cover it at all.

My husband made more money last year than EVER by far. No official pay raise, it’s just that his business was booming like crazy for some reason. Anyway, when he first started pulling in more money, it did help some with rapidly rising inflation. But after a couple of months, prices were rising so rapidly, the extra he was making did almost nothing, if anything. We’re in the same position we were in before.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re grateful for the extra income. At this point, without it, we’d be in serious trouble. It’s just that it definitely doesn’t feel as if he’s making more.

Right. If the goal is depopulation, can't have those plebs eating lifespan extending substances.

You can ask the seller or producer where they source or which materials they use to prouce the caps, they are pretty straightforward 99% of the time.

Unbelievable! Thank you for this info. We take a supplement of 250mg crystalline nicotinamide riboside and 50mg of pterostilbene (that’s the dosage from 2 capsules). It’s from Elysium Health. So you’re saying we’ll still be able to get this (for now?🙄).

Supply might get constrained, and price increase is but something assure, but otherwise yes.

may be this will lead people back to exploring natural healing methods. Lots of ailments can be cured with changes in diet and lifestyle, homeopathic or herbal treatments, massage, acupuncture, and do not require chemicals. This will also give the body time to restore its own inherent immune system

Quite the number of medications can't be substituted by natural compounds, especially short-term, others you need to tapper off very slowly.

I do agree with lifestyle change and diet, but at a societal level it is literally unfeasiable, and any type of outlier event can crack the entire healthcare system of entire nations, the reason I bring this up from time to time.

Is it possible to avoid all drugs and supplements?

For some people, yes. Others it is a slow, paintful, miserable death sentence.

Because of what they are eating? Lifestyle? Or people are born to suffer?

There are dozens of different reasons why someone would be like that.

I can be an example, grew up extremely poor, bad diet, war wounds, etc. Each person has its unique circumstances beyond karma (even though I am a huge karma believer)

I was raised poor with bad food, grew fat and slowly losing it, changed my lifestyle & diet and came back to health with no pills or injections.. At least so far (chuckle). But ok, circumstances are differing.

I'm seeing a massive increase in Strep throat, in particular Strep with Flu infections at first. It's so wide spread that providers are wondering if it's airborn. This has put a strain on amoxicillin, particularly childrens liquid amox. Augmentin is a different color and pharmacies were struggling with several liquid atbc. It seems to have evened out but now all the pharmacies are closing d/t staffing issues and we are wondering where all the pharmacists went. Ppl have been complaining about being sick for months or constantly being sick all the time that were never sickly ppl.

I actually like the flush.... the 1st time (500mg), was intense though LOL... But then got a lot less intense after the 3rd or so time.

NMN is on of the few supplements with which I have had success. Very angry to hear this.

A lot of people find themselves in the same sitaution as you, and share your feeling. I am pissed, and I don't even use it.

FWIW, I found some sellers on Aliexpress for NMN... figured might as well pull the trigger. When I queried from sellers on Indiamart - I was getting quoted $400 per kilo or more there, some insane pricing... wherease Aliexpress is about $100 per kilo (for now). Worth a try?

ADHD misdiagnose and over-medication are insanely high and hidden from most people, doctors themselves hide and fudge the numbers to impact the epidemiological data. You are correct, although I do believe there is an environmental reason, it doesn't account for the substantial and continous increase.

there must be an expensive drug to treat it, probably one to be taken for life
