Exposing my body to all sorts of environment from radiation to a high level of stress and observing what is the outcome

Good idea, I also recommend starting a regiment of bullet training resistance. But make sure you start with a small caliber like a 22. and work out way up to the higher calibers to build immunity gradually.

I am a 9/11 suvival

in (some) order of importance:

- lots of sun WITHOUT sunscreen (diet and/or astaxanthin prevent sunburn), need cholesterol to biosynthesize vit. d

- reduce glucose spikes / increase insulin sensitivity with low-carb diet

- eliminate nutritional deficiencies: most effective is carnivore-ish diet in my opinion, meat and animal products are the best sources of bioavailable nutrients

- eliminate stressors in food: stimulants, coffee, etc.

- resistance / strength training

- cardiovascular training

- cold exposure (ice baths are awesome, I don't personally have access or a personal setup)

Wow... Can you elaborate a little?

A good immune system is kind-of luck-of-the-draw; that aside, I’m exercising daily.
