I haven't. Because I retired early on SS disability, we live well below the poverty level, so I try to choose whatever is covered by Medicare. I think I read recently from John that he shells out $6.00 a day. I'm blessed to have married up. My wife is a very good cook and is quite attentive to nutrition. We eat healthy a balanced diet, especially during the summer and fall when we can eat from my vegetable garden. There are several farmer's markets where we fill in the gaps. We have two peach trees, two pear,two apple, one plum and one crabapple. We had a good crop of peaches last year, so nothing this year. Same with the older pear and apricot trees. No apples yet. I had to plant a new plum tree last year, and the second apple. We should start having more of a harvest in the next few years.

I planted crookneck and delicata and winter squash, but an under ground squirrel or a pesky rodent pulled the delicata seedlings down to its underground dining room. I planted cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes and mini pumpkins this year. I didn't get onions or peppers or snow peas planted. Maybe I'll feel up to planting them next year. I decided that corn is so cheap at the market, it wasn't worth the effort of planting them.

This is becoming a long response to your brief question. We take a variety of vitamins, and between the last frost in the spring and the first snow, I get six hours a day of exercise in the yard and gardens. So, I do my best to stay healthy.

Have you tried the supplement protocol or CBD? I know that I could get medical marijuana if I wanted to, but there are two reasons I haven't. The first one is that if my pcp knew I was using a marijuana product he would stop prescribing any pain medication. The other reason is $$$. It's $200 to get a doctor to prescribe it, another $200 for a permit from the state, and then it isn't covered by Medicare and it's expensive.

Cash flow sometimes drive a lot of choices.
