Loading ...I think we are basically “maintenance free” and stop listening to what “they say” because we don’t know who they are, and they have gotten everybody too paranoid worried and concerned about their health.
If “they” told us, 5 hours of sleep is fine, don’t worry, do you know how much MONEY big business and big pharma would LOSE on “Unisom”, and other over the counter, and prescription sleep aids???
A doctor once told me it doesn’t really matter what you eat, the body converts it to what it needs. Think about all the people that live past 100 years old. Do you think they worry and care about their HEALTH??
No. Betty White I heard LOVES hot dogs and eats loads of them. My friends father got very old, loves and eats LOADS of eggs. I saw 3 dozen on his front seat and asked Fred about all the eggs. A sonogram lady told me similar stories and people that worry the MOST, and study the most about health, die early. Like my wife did.
My wife was like you, and knew everything, and I disagreed with her, and worried about her, re the need and use of organic foods, vitamins, supplements, essential oils, etc etc. Mind and body are connected. And a persons mental state is responsible for health matters in many cases. You name it. Back pain, acid reflux, ulcers, itching, and cancer too, if you worry about it enough, you will give it to yourself.
Just watch Forensic Files, and look for the ones where the spouse puts small amounts or arsenic ot anti freeze in the spouses food. It takes a long time to kill them. I’ve heard lots of stories to come to conclusions over my life time.
Just yesterday my 81 year old brother has good insurance. He’s concerned about a lump in his kidney and a lump in his arm pit. Dr. #1 says we have to do biopsies. Foreign Dr #2 says…”As we grow older, we get all kinds of lumps, I can remove, but why not just wait and watch?”
My brother says “I like you” 🙂 If the damn cancer is going to kill you after five years anyway? Why treat it and suffer with the treatment for the next 5 years? I know a childhood friend that worked in a Dr office, she knew she had lung cancer, did nothing for many years, until it got to her brain. Then it caused her to start falling. Then they started treating it as a last resort to no avail.
P.S. Note: “We always get what we try to resist” James Dines 1979 when I read it. Which reminds me.
I was floored one day decades ago, when a very liberal white couple we knew, had two teen age daughters, and said to us. “We always told the kids, not to be prejudice, the blacks and other minorities people are just as good as the white people. But we never told them, not to bring them home”.
They told us this because that’s what happened, and they were disappointed, and concerned about their daughters future well being. Because many times those type husbands don’t make as much money and end up leaving the wife and kids. One was from El Salvador. He right away went back there.
Well, the latest, Barbara and Joe I heard now have the full grown minority grandkids still living with them, and the daughters are gone I don’t know where. New husbands I think.
