And if you look at expats in Thailand, they start falling off the chart at 60íes even in their 50íes. Not met one above 83 yet.

You have not met me, then.

Without medicine, I would have died 20 years ago.

But then, the OP has always had a screw loose.

Yes! If it can? If it has the tools, and if it's not damaged by BP toxic concoctions that can restrict the body's natural healing processes.

So, where do we get the tools? Firstly food and drink. We are a mix of the very stuff that is found in nature. We are a part of nature after all. We need a steady supply of minerals; both major and minor. Same with vitamins.

Of course, we get all we need from food!? Or do we? Unfortunately, much of the stuff eaten by people is not really food in the true sense. At least not food for our bodies to be nourished and thrive. For us to eliminate the toxins, that we naturally accumulate through modern living, we need the full range of tools.

We are nature. Nature is us.

Indeed, our body has its own ecosystem just like nature! When we respect that, by giving out bodies the building blocks for repair jobs and creating an inner terrain that promotes healing - only then are our bodies able to do the job it was born to do. Modern medicine suppresses the communication between cells which is ongoing at all times at the speed of light, which blunts messages sent and received. This is obviously the task of modern medicine - but unfortunately by blunting messages along a pathway obviously blunts messages upstream and downstream too - the result is side effects. These side effects can result in illness or death from something else than the drug was supposed to “cure” in the first place.

However, as mentioned, acute, life threatening incidents are best handled initially in the ER.

You are painting a picture that is not really true. People died from poor nutrition, parasites, infections, respiratory illnesses, tuberculosis, pneumonia, diarrhoea, typhoid, measles, smallpox and many other diseases. Good genes and the right diet could help, but only so far.

Child mortality pulled the average down, but many adults also died long before old age. Maybe the planet would not be so overpopulated today if we had done nothing about it, but the price would have been millions more horrible and preventable deaths. Many diseases that killed people regularly 1,000 or 2,000 years ago are now rare, controlled or completely eradicated.

Maybe hygiene has something to do with it?

I did not ask you anything!

The question was directed to the OP and has NOTHING to do with what did or did not happen to you!

Sorry for upsetting you. Just thought it may have been of general interest - obviously not!

No doubt that Pharmaceutical and Insurance companies are blood suckers, parasites, exploiting people’s misfortunes.

But they do have an important role to play and as explained by others, medicines have saved many lives and improved the quality of lives around the world. So we shouldn’t throw out the baby with the bath water!

The old psychiatric Institutions closed down and incarceration ended largely due to new drugs being developed and they are constantly being improved upon.

But after almost 50 years of working in Health Care, I have also seen abuse, misuse and exploitation by these large multi billion corporations!

The alcohol and food industry are no different. They products are aimed at getting people addicted. So abuse and misuse is common around the world!

Alcohol is killing more people and worsening the quality of their lives than any other medication. It has become the accepted culture in most countries and has been so for centuries! Death certificates rarely give alcohol as the cause of death, because a diagnosis is required! Analyse the diagnosis and you will find alcohol as a contributing factor ( main) .

Sad to see many Retirees spend most of the rest of their lives with alcohol as the main part of their day!

It played a part in my life at one time but it took a lot of courage to abandon it.

I use medication, one only which has improved an aspect of my health.

Health Insurance only in my latter years because it was virtually mandatory.

Western medicine is good at preventing people from dying, but bad at preventing them from being unhealthy in the first place.

Thank you Red.

Why do we get sick? There are only a handful of reasons why. Yet the medical industry would have us believe there are thousands. And as far as they are concerned each of those reasons has a pill, a drug, an injection or a procedure that will sort it. Often hooking the naive, and unaware, to a life-time of dependency on their toxic junk

It all started about 120 years ago. Big money was available for any medical teaching establishment that went in a specific direction as far as sickness was concerned. Nature was sidelined, and the new kid on the block, much of which came from the new oil industry, was modern medicine.

Since those days, the medical industry has made itself a fortress. Nothing at all negative can be uttered. Not in Journals. Not in MSM. And any well-meaning voice is immediately jumped on.

Fortunately, we now have the www. It is there for anyone who has doubts as to the truth of what is being trotted out by the authorities. And although many are awake to the shenanigans of the industry, not nearly enough show an interest in their own health and that of their loved ones. Apathy and ignorance still are k!ng.

Nature is clever than most people realise. We must return to it in order to fulfil our destiny.

Pray tell us how to proceed.

So many "eggspurts" but no solutions

Diseases do not exist in the way we are told they do by the eggspurts.

I contend that there are 5 ways we get sick. Each one sends the body out of balance. From then on the body starts its repairing; if it can. It has to have the tools. And having the tools start to take shape before we are even conceived. The two most important years of our lives are the ones either side of our birth.

The symptoms, that the white-coats call illness/disease, are the cure of the body's ills. There are reasons for the cough and sneezes. There are reasons for the fever. And they should not be interrupted by BP (Big Pharma) medicines, injections or interventions. If they are, and the healing process is slowed or halted altogether, the detoxification will not complete and will rear its head another day. And, perhaps the accumulation of toxins has magnified to the point where the next time will reveal a worse problem.

IMO, it is the stopping of natural body processes that leads to many of today's cancers.

Nature has all the answers. We just have to look and learn.

There's a decent chance the OP's screws were properly seated before the OP was connected to the internet. Or, perhaps the symptoms were so mild as to be easily overlooked... not so now!
