Turmeric contains quercetin and it is cheap. Certified organic for $13/lb. Sorry I don't have time to go through the paper and figure out the dosage vs tumeric and consider the absorption rate/ability. I take it daily with Japanese Knotweed. I really appreciate your comment.

Quercetin on its own is not significantly senolytic. Only in combination with dasatinib. See:

Another argument against quercetin on its own having any significant effect is that it is widely used in large enough amounts. It would be well known by now if it had significant senolytic effects, because everyone with arthritis would have found their conditions meaningfully improved. That sort of thing doesn't escape notice for long.

How does a non-cancerous person obtain a chemo drug on a regular basis?

With money I suppose. Lots of.
