Apirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, caffeine, nicotine and marijuana. I'd be really interested to know what your blood pressure and prothrombin time are. Also, it wouldn't hurt to run that list by a doctor.
The Aspirin / Tylenol / Ibuprofen / Caffeine all come from the same source: a migraine preventative schedule.
I failed to mention that, I guess.
My blood pressure is 105/68, pulse is 62.
It is only not this when I am in a workout, where the blood pressure reaches 120/75 and the pulse can get to the 90s.
I have no clotting issues thanks to the Aspirin, which alleviates what little I get from smoking ( I'm a light smoker, not even making 1-pack/day, normally around half or less ( I'm too busy to smoke that much ) ).
Red wine probably helps the whole equation as well. Having added colloidal silver to the mix I'm interested in what my next blood-work will look like. Ahh, too bad I don't have insurance, paying for everything kinda sucks, but it's still been cheaper than having insurance ( best I found was about $400/month because of pre-existing conditions I need covered to make insurance worth-while ( i.e. multiple prolapsed discs in the back ( count: 6-10, not sure if it has changed ) with degeneration, sciatica, and severe migraine with pain lasting up to 3 or 4 days, exhaustion following it -- I'm out for up to a week ).
My regimen allows me to avoid my headaches and much of the back-pain while directly tackling the problems causing the pain.
So far I've actually managed to heal three of my discs, without surgery ( though I did the epidural thing (twice), which I won't do again ), and the pain related to my sciatica has improved greatly ( not to mention the improvement in neurological effects ).
The trick is in the amount and type of fluids I drink. If I lapse I could get into trouble if I were to follow that regimen exactly.
Otherwise I'm doing great, have had much improvement.

Oh, BTW, the peace pipe has been paramount in healing my nerves. But I hate getting too high, so I rarely smoke as much as I should, normally maxing out at 4 tokes in an evening.

Check out the following before your next dose of colloidal silver:
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad...
I've read all of that, and I've read the studies. Argyria is produced by protein-bonded silver, and requires very high doses ( such as all cases reported, the users were DRINKING 16 oz of 450 PPM solutions ( which aren't colloids ) of silver nano-particles suspended in filtered water ).
My intake is 5 ml 20 ppm electrically suspended silver, a real colloid ( MesoSilver ) every other day or so.
I also don't drink any quantity of it, I use it as a mouth wash / gargle and allow some sub-lingual absorption.
I became interested in the stuff after getting strep throat, and wanting to avoid antibiotics because they tend to make sicker rather than better.
I was gargling with salt water, and I got this stuff the second day of symptoms. I gargled once with it, and ( to my surprise, actually ) my throat immediately changed back to its normal color, though I could feel some infection farther down.
So I swallowed 15 ml ( in small increments ) and avoided drinking or eating anything for 15 minutes, then I drank some orange juice and a glass of water. Gone!
Honest, completely gone!
Not to mention how it repaired my gums!
I got it for free, but I bought the second bottle. All of my acne cleared up after 3 days ( day 1: 5ml / day 2: 2.5ml ) and my irritable bowl is now in good working order ( after some weeks at low dose ( 1ml/daily 2.5 ml every other, 5ml on weekends ) to prevent any organ overload due to flushing out "wall-less" bacteria/viruses ).
The silver is the only thing I added to get these effects, and my acne comes back after a week of not taking it, but I did not get sick or anything, so the silver isn't weakening my defenses.
Colloidal silver still must be used with care, body-weight adjusted, and timed to not be taken with certain proteins already present in the blood ( i.e., not taken 1-3 hrs before ) to help prevent the possibility argyria ( if the doses themselves don't do it ).
Oh, and most of those people with argyria ( if not all ) actually say they developed it only after using it externally, but I take no chances either way.

Either this is a troll post, or you're trying to see what major organ gives out first.
As for the article, I guess I'm glad I'm in infrastructure and virtualization instead of development, because I would never do lifespan shortening crap like that for work. My life is family and friends, not my career.
The intake of everything is timed, and I guess I should've mentioned that I don't follow the regimen to the letter on most days.
Vit E & C are recommended as well as the Men's daily multi-Vit. Graviola is simply powdered leaves ( edible, no less ).
Most things are in synergy and are balanced with my diet. And I forgot to make it obvious that the Ibuprofen/Asprin/Tylenol/Caffeine all comes from one pill used for migraine prevention.
Those intakes cause vitamin E, A, D, and Calcium depletion ( and potassium, but I eat enough in my diet ), though at levels not high enough to be of any concern.
My regimen is the result of careful study and planning ( and testing, of course ).

Me too!
I already max out at 5.66 hours of sleep, and have only 6 hours of energy to burn ( I'm in a daze the rest of the time, trying to figure out where I am and what I'm doing ).
Any drug that can break these limits is useful!
I find caffeine extremely mild, cocaine made me to 'up,' and mary jane causes even more dazing.
LSD is too uncomfortable ( though I can code and code and code until I get stuck in my reflection which is present in the turned-off monitor ).
I have, instead, created a regimen.

I have done this now for a few weeks, and I have greatly improved energy levels and stamina. I also no longer need to take any sleep aids!!
Also, please note that I drink massive amounts of fluids and the ibuprofen and Tylenol are in the mix to alleviate pain due to severe back problems.
Normally I drink Orange Juice or some other juice, or if I can't drink that I will drink Mountain Dew / Coke / Vault / Root Beer ( when I need to watch caffeine intake levels ). I rarely exceed 32 oz of soda in a day, and normally it is only around 20 oz.
But, back to the article, I openly welcome research and unbiased studies into performance enhancing chemicals/drugs. Of course, we should focus on natural blends, my regimen allows me to feel ginkgo and taurine now, so it is working for me.
Not to mention that I now have energy after working for the last 12 hours :-). Yeah!!
