The Vital Years/The Cupboard

The cupboard

A short shelf of ordinary things.

Readers kept asking what I actually keep in my own house, so here it is. Five plain household items, chosen for how they are built and nothing else. No supplements. No medical devices. No promises about anybody's health, because a slipper cannot make one and I will not pretend otherwise.

How this shelf works

Three plain rules

  • Everything is described by its specifications. If a number is on this site, it came off the unit itself.
  • Nothing here treats, prevents or improves any medical condition, and nothing on these pages will ever suggest otherwise.
  • 30 days to send anything back, unused and in its box, without writing an explanation.
