Well said! I learned more than a decade ago, because of a rare health emergency, how ignorant and dysfunctional the whole western health care system was. Best thing that ever happened to me! It opened my eyes that I am 100% responsible for my own health. I started altering my lifestyle/diet, and am happy to say neither my husband or I have been to a doctor in years. People think we are way younger than we are (we also moved to a ranch), are fitter/leaner/happier than ever... we are the same size as we were in college, and are not on one pharmaceutical. I maintain the whole pandemic would have never happened had it not been for the culture of our Western style medicine. The silver lining may be that many more people wake up and take responsibility for their own health.
That's wonderful to hear. And I agree - more people will wake up, but what a price we've had to pay. I believe there is a parallel reality already emerging. The old world is collapsing and good! What you've described is part of the new reality emerging. (Go around the old one.) Good for you both! Health and blessings to you.
Good for you! I’m “English” but live in Amish country in NE Indiana. Neither this nor the Eastern Amish communities suffered from Covid. Why? No televisions. It is a common joke, but they prospered mightily in the last two years while the rest of us endured.
A friend of mine loves to retell this story: He went for a physical and the doctor told him it was amazing that he was so healthy. The doctor was familiar with my friend's father and brother (who both had a large variety of medical diagnoses). My friend explained his surprisingly good health by responding, "I don't go to doctors."
Since I had an almost identical experience, I'm going to guess the "borderline result" was cholesterol and the prescription was a statin, and the horrible side effect was abdominal pain or GI distress?
I took it for precisely two days and threw it in the garbage. I guess I won't be going back to a doctor until I'm an old woman and get some hereditary heart problem.

And our western style eating habits.
🥰 Beautiful words.

Your post sums up perfectly how the medical industry works. We are just money to them nothing more
Haha! Classic! It's crazytown out there I tellya!

Statins always cause an uptick in my liver enzymes. PCPand crack cocaine are safer than those poisons.
I took it for precisely two days and threw it in the garbage. I guess I won't be going back to a doctor until I'm an old woman and get some hereditary heart problem.
Why even go then? I am an old woman, very healthy, and don't intend to jeopardize my health by going to a doctor!
Ha!!!
My so-called "bad cholesterol" has been high since birth and is likely genetic and has not yet been associated with any cardiovascular problems.
My so-called "good" HDLs are similarly high. My immune system has thus far been excellent.
Statins dispensed as harmless candy is bullshit.
