Personally, I hold a strong conviction that it's not age that leads to degenerating health, but the unhealthy choices we make over time.
This could be true for some I'd say, not all though.
My father died last year, at 84, after suffering from renal failure, cancer and dementia...He was the healthiest-living person I have ever met and was all his life. My mother died after a battle with cancer also and the same for her. Both never did drugs, drank alcohol or smoked cigarettes and ate well having grown most of their own food; Both were also quite spiritual and cared for their emotional well-being.
So...I think your statement certainly works for some but not others. Oh, my mother also went down the route of natural medicine and mind-over-matter practices for her cancer and died in intense agony, barely more than skin draped over her skeleton...So, it's not a method I'd personally use myself.
I appreciate there's some valid alternatives to traditional medicine out there and if they work for some that's great. Clearly not everyone benefits though.
Thanks for your point of view, and sorry for your loss.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
