I was just reading the Newsbot thingy down below and it's talking about how compounds in the processing of meat may lead to an increased chance of bladder cancer and the AARP is in on it, etc.

We're all going to die of something, some time! It's not like we can all die in our sleep of "old age". If AARP is in there, of course there's an increased chance of x, y, z, one's body is getting older/breaking down!

My doctor's office were incorrectly trying to get me to start on blood pressure meds and giving me all these odds and doing the 37% greater chance of stroke, etc. messages, trying to "scare" me into taking the meds and I went home and researched it and the odds for ME became something like 1 in 10 of having a stroke in the next 10 years, IF my blood pressure were as bad as they incorrectly thought it was. I'll happily take a 1 in 10 chance! There's no way at all to tell if "you" or someone else is going to be that 1, whether or not you do what they say; there's still a chance and no way of knowing where your particular body will fall, given your lifestyle, your health, your genes, etc.

So, just stop with the statistics trying to scare me! Stop with the overwhelming stuff, the ads on TV for meds where one of the side effects is, literally, death! The meds don't cure, they may help but if the side effects are greater than the pains of the disease, how's that a help?

I'm going back to basics:

The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
