I had high blood pressure (~164/102) for quite a while (years). Solution (gleaned from the internet): I stopped drinking, completely. In two months it was dead center normal.
I went to the doctore for a broken toe, though I don’t remember breaking it. He took x-rays and said he didn’t know what was wrong (no break) but to be careful with it. I got home and, after ten minutes on the internet realized I had gout and black cherry juice would fix it. It did.
I now get a flare up every 9 months or so. I take black cherry capsules and it’s gone the next day. A three year supply of these little marvels was $21.
And heart disease and cancer? Look up the gerson treatment. An acquaintence was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Her only treatment, and against her doctors wishes, was the gerson treatment. She’s been cancer free over two years now.
We grow our own food as much as possible and watch our diets and exercise. I need doctors for stuff like broken bones. And that can usually be fixed for less than a single months health insurance premium, with a deductible so high it wouldn’t cover it anyway.
As I said, very freeing.
It is liberating, indeed-I’m healthy and happy, too not overweight, and do physical work. The warnings that come with meds say “this medication can cause death”-if something is more harmful than the condition it treats, why would any sane person use it? But then, there is all that lawsuit money available...
