It seems that we are to take our doctor recommendation as the only way to survival. With not taking into considerations the side effects of the treatment. They give use no alternative treatment for our ailments . How many doctors think out side the box out loud .

TO:JADE PETTY

YES,THE ARTICLE BY ERIKA R.SCHWARTZ IS VERY “HEALTHFUL”.

YOUR COMMENT ON THE OTHER HAND IS NOT, “MINDFUL OR HEALTHFUL”. AS WE AGE WE DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE ACHES & PAINS & IT IS NOT A PART OF LIFE.OUR THOUGHTS & CELLS ARE PROGRAMMED TO BELIEVE THIS.ALSO,WE DO NOT HAVE TO LOSE BONE DENSITY,OUR STOMACHS ARE NOT MORE SENSITIVE,& OUR JOINTS ARE NOT MORE ACHEY.

I AM 65 YRS.YOUNG & NUTRITION & LESS DOCTORS & LESS VETS (FOR PETS)WILL KEEP YOU & ALL OF US LOOKING & FEELING AS YOUNG AS YOU WANT TO BE OR IMAGINE/VISUALIZE TO BE.I CAN STILL STAND ON MY HEAD-THE YOGI & GYMNASTIC WAY.I WALK MY 2 PETS 7 DAYS PER WEEK,DAYTIME & NIGHT-TIME.MY 2 PETS ARE 14 1/2 & 16 YRS.YOUNG & DON’T SHOW ANY SYMPTOMS OF OLD AGE.I DO NOT FEED THEM DOG FOOD.THEY EAT WHAT I EAT,CHICKEN,BEEF,TURKEY,VEGTABLES,BREWERS YEAST, COD LIVER OIL (2XPER WEK.) & VEGETABLES.

BLESSINGS TO ALL OF US-ALWAYS-”OK”.

In agreement with the thrust of your article, I personally believe that one must take their own health into their own hands first. If you are more proactive regarding your own health, you won’t have to worry as much regarding the healthcare system, as you will have less frequency to become a statistic in the health care system. Do some research on your own symptoms, try some nutritional supplements that are whole-food based and take a physical at least every 2-3 years, minus the mammogram. Look for alternative scanning for cancerous tumors that aren’t as likely to cause more problems in the end. A little research will reveal promising alternatives.

If you’re on meds, it’s more than likely that you have over-medicated causing your body to become immune to that paricular brand or dosage. Take more nutritional supplementation that does not contradict your meds, and have the doctor decrease meds as your body regains its balance. Afterall, I believe that meds have their place, but just not in the human body for an extended period of time.

Exercise, eating right, living right is the best medication of all! I happen to be 52, no meds, under 120 lbs, exercise moderately, (can out-run many 20 years olds), my vitals rival a 30 something year old and looking forward to adding more natural supplementation to slow the aging process down even more without the government or Monsanto telling me I can’t use natural supplementation at will.

“The absence of intervention doesn’t necessarily kill us.”…Absolutley brilliant! I’ve called it “Disease Hunting”, which seems to a phenomena of the 21st century. A test for this, a scan for that. And for what? More than likely, treatment with a drug that will eventually become the lawsuit of the year drug. For most of us who are aging, aches and pains are a part of life. We’re supposed to lose bone density. It’s natural that it decline as the years pile on. Yes, our stomachs are more sensitive, our joints are more achey.
Loved this article!
