What kind of health supplements should I get for my aging cat?

I want my cat to live as long as possible, and I’d like to know of any good supplements to keep my cat healthy. She’s almost 7 years old, on the small side, and is a completely indoor cat. She’s extremely healthy, robust, and playful. I feed her Blue Buffalo Spa Selects, but I may be switching her to a better food.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
I don’t mean medicine, I mean holistic food supplements, like vitamins.

At seven, she’s just barely middle aged. She’s not old. Blue Buffalo is definitely one of the better brands, I think the only way to do better is to go homemade (provided you do the research into how to balance certain nutrients), or raw. Spending the money on good quality food means spending a lot less at the veterinarian later, that’s for sure. I’m big on standing around the pet food store, reading labels on cat food until my feet ache and the store clerks wish I’d just go home, but I don’t think you need to add anything to this food.

Wu Zun is gay?!

That was just the way Ella described Wu Zun’s little obsession for cleanliness and health. She recalled seeing Wu Zun’s strange habit of laying tissue paper over his packaged food to absorb the oil before he ate them. Ella also gave us a tip so we can tell when Wu Zun is about to have a feast (not like we’ll actually get to see him eating, oh wait, we did) — he would pop weight-loss pills or health supplements before he starts chomping, so that he can have a filling meal without gaining weight.

Dr Whiting on Prostate Health and Inflammation

Prostate inflammation, leading to restricted urination, bladder & kidney infections and other complications, is the number one reason why men over 50 visit their medical doctors. Currently there are three medications used for this problem and they are only about 35 to 40 percent effective. They have considerable side effects in many users as well. The surgical procedure often used for moderate to advanced prostate inflammation or BPH, has many potentially serious side effects including loss of sensation, incontinence and impotence. Prostate inflammation or enlargement is often best managed through the use of herbal extracts, amino acids and nutrients. Many thousands of men are avoiding the side effects of drug therapy and the dangers of surgery and are completely controlling their prostate inflammation and enlargement, called BPH, naturally. Saw palmetto, probably the most common herb for prostate problems, is only the beginning of our Targeted approach to good prostate health. By combining saw palmetto with pygeum africanum, select amino acids, nutrients and antioxidants, we have been able to raise the percentage of positive results considerably, while offering all these essential co-factors in one easy to take formulation. The use of Saw palmetto and Pygeum africanum together, increases the potential benefit of both. By adding key amino acids and other herbal extracts Saw palmetto and Pygeum africanum are much more effective against BPH, or commonly referred to as prostate enlargement. Natural alternatives for supporting prostate health have been around for some time, but by combining these known agents together in the right ratios, we can make a much more powerful natural alternative formula for prostate health and well-being.

Do you think that there is enough evidence available to recommend dietary supplements for their health benefit

Do you think that there is enough evidence available to recommend dietary supplements for their health benefits? Do you think dietary supplements should be regulated more closely? Give reasons why or why not?

People who take multi-vitamins live about 2-3 years longer than people who don’t. There is also increasing scientific evidence that even greater amounts of certian vitamins may reduce disease. Regulating these things more closely is not free. It means you have to go to a physician, who is afraid of lawyers (and so may not prescribe even it they think it’s OK) and then you have to pay them. This type of regulation would put the benefits out of the reach of most people, and probably do more harm than good. The regulation methods we have now are adequate. There are always going to be cases where they don’t work but over-reacting to news stories designed to sell news papers is one of the biggest problems we face as a country. Why don’t we let people who actually know what they are doing handle this..

3,6,17-Androstenetrione 15 Week Pyramid Cycle

3,6,17-Androstenetrione 15 Week Pyramid Cycle

Here is what you get: Four bottles of 3,6,17-ANDROSTENETRIONE — 240 capsules/500mg per capsule (each bottle has 60 capsules) These 4 bottles will give you enough 3,6,17-Androstenetrione to complete the 3,6,17-Androstenetrione — 15 WEEK PYRAMID CYCLE Here is how to take the 3,6,17-Androstenetrione — 15 WEEK PYRAMID CYCLE Week# 3,6,17-Androstenetrione 1 1 capsule/per day 2 1 capsule/per day 3 2 capsules/per day 4 2 capsules/per day 5 3 capsules/per day 6 3 capsules/per day 7 3 capsules/per day 8 4 capsules/per day 9 3 capsules/per day 10 3 capsules/per day 11 3 capsules/per day 12 2 capsules/per day 13 2 capsules/per day 14 1 capsule/per day 15 1 capsule/per day back to week #1 Note: Take one capsule at night with your last meal. On days you take more than one capsule — spread the dosages out across the day as much as possible. The Power Of The Pyramid! The reason our 15-Week Pyramid Cycle is far superior to taking simply one capsule daily has to do with the concept of receptor downgrade. Many drugs and supplements, including 3,6,17-Androstenetrione are susceptible to receptor downgrade. What this means is initially the drug or supplement you are taking works great. You feel the absolute maximum impact of the compound because your body has never been introduced to it before. But over time, your body gets used to the compound and you have to take more and more of it to get the same great results you did initially. Eventually, it doesnt matter how much of the compound you take — it simply wont work anymore. This is where many of the potential negative health side effects can occur from taking such compounds as steroids or prohormones. Users increase the dosages because they want to keep getting results, but all they are really doing is potentially hurting themselves and wasting their money. This is where our 15-Week Pyramid Cycle comes in. With this cycle, you gradually increase the dosage over time, and slowly reach the maximum amount you can take while still
