I've come around to the fact that we should avoid the health care system as possible...

I'm trying to get my weight better....I'm avoiding a lot of over the counters meds that are horrible on your liver and kidneys...I'm trying to kick the soda habit...

mostly, the human body was made to fight off most infections and viruses on its own....we don't need to run to the doctor for sniffles, head colds, back aches, etc...time does heal all for the most part...

Good for you. My husband and I are 54. We eat healthy, take supplements and keep our weight down. True, it costs but we figure it is cheaper than being sick.

My father, God rest his soul, had this philosophy way back when we were kids. He was a veterinarian and could get us animal antibiotics which he knew were safe for humans.

We need to find a veterinarian for said purpose now. We do have a chiropractor who will treat the spinal related ailments for discounted cash on the barrel-head.

Well, another suggestion would be, if you need an operation, say for a knee replacement, or even open heart surgery, go to India, or maybe the Philippines, where the operation is still a lot cheaper, including the airplane ticket.
