You could spend all day (and all your money) exploring all the products people are selling with the claim to better health and a longer life. The internet is brimming with magnets, vibration machines, special juices, ingestible metals, and black boxes with batteries and buttons.
None of them have been scientifically tested, so the only thing you can be sure that all the so-called cures will especially good at is racking up high fees and charges. You can find products that have been endorsed by a well-known organization, celebrity (or practically famous), or even supernatural entities.
It seems that those crazy people selling health are mostly sick themselves. I'd send them get well gifts if I thought it would do any good, but that might actually be a continuation of the magical thinking, a confirmation that I think that positive thoughts bring positive results. So I won't send gifts, but I will hope that they see the light and start to act better. Hope that they see that there is no one secret to long life, but a way of life that can help stop, or slow down senescence.
The best advice you'll ever get is free: eat well. Almost every disease out there can be prevented, cured, or at least improved with a better diet. Most of us have terrible diets, filled with fats and chemicals, and even common sense says that will take a toll. Getting lots of green plants, fresh fruits, and whole grains is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Take cancer as an example, how many forms of cancer are lessened by a high fiber high plant food diet? I'm not certain of the up to date number, but I know it's a big percentage. They've done research in caners as diverse as breast, lung, mouth and bowel and all of them are affected by fiber, phytochemicals, antioxidants or polyphenols.
The only way to really get these research tested chemicals into your body? Diet. You can't take a pill, can't hold your face over a machine or drink a strange and expensive elixir (no matter what companies motivated by profit might tell you), you have to go right to the source and eat Kale, or Pomegranates or blueberries or oatmeal. The complexity of the interactions these compounds have with each other has not been fully studied, so it's impossible to distill them into something a "natural food company" can sell at enormous markup in a pill form.
Even the research on fiber and its effects on cholesterol and heart disease point to the need of solid foods. Sometimes the answer to a question is both as simple and complex as eating good whole foods.
