I agree with preventation, but as you know, that is no guarantee.
Like I said, if someone wants to choose a non-traditional path, that would be their choice.
I work in health care, and I understand the risks and benefits as I see them. I think people can see it differently.
What I don’t appreciate is people who knock health care and demonize it as greedy people looking to suck patients dry of their money while feeding them unproven snake oil in return.
That gets me pretty hot.
Two beautiful women, friends of mine, got cancer at about the same time. One went to India to pray with her guru, the other went right to the hospital for surgery. Guess which one survived. An excellent lesson for me. I do my best to stay healthy, and if I get sick, I’ll rely on docs.
My doc, btw, writes me orders for several nutritional supplements instead of prescription meds, insists that I sip water with electrolytes all day, and understands that I know what I’m doing. We both go to the same gym. I am, btw, a very very old lady, jogging into eighth decade. With attitude!
