(3,513 posts)Western medicine seems to be there only when you're sick and then you're givin prescriptions that interfere with all your other medications. I'm 69, I only go to the doc if I break a bone or have bad injuries. I take no pills. My blood pressure is 130 over 90, sometimes a little more. I eat whole organic foods low in carbs and high in protein. No sugary processed junk ever! I do take Tumeric, D3/k2 (5000 mg), creatine, a daily vitamin, magnesiums, a powerful probiotic, and I eat fermented foods often (keeps gut biome in order). Eating a Mediterranean diet will not only lengthen your life it will make your final years far more enjoyable, in my opinion. I ignore the constant barrage of encouragements to get tested for this or that. Cancer doesn't scare me, I can mitigate that. They did a study of centurians bodies after they died and in many found evidence of many untreated old cancers. Most of the time you will not die FROM untreated cancers, you'll simply die with it. Prostate cancers are a prime example (very slow moving).
