Start taking massive doses of vitamin C - 1000-4000 mg per hour or more

I'm not so sure about 1-4g per *hour*, but Linus Pauling advocated and
practised megadosing on VitC (5g per day, I think) and he lived to the age

Moses lived 120 years and spent 40 wandering lost in a desert.

Noah lived 350 years after the flood.

That's just silly.

Which bit?

Isn't it the case that
the body can only process so many mg per hour anyway, and anything in
excess of this is simply excreted in the urine?

You could bottle it & sell it to the third world as a health product.

That's just nasty.

It's also quite true. The average American excretes enough surplus
vitamins to save whole families in some nations.
Just condense, sterilize (without heat), package & ship ....
