“The truth is, the fastest way to get heart disease, autism, glaucoma, diabetes, vascular problems, osteoporosis or cancer ... is to be screened for it.”
I have said this for years.
That and the lowering and lowering of levels of what “is sick” will put you in the sick category faster than you can turn your head.
If I didn’t get my skin checked about 10 years ago I’d be dead now from melanoma.
That is probably the crux of the matter.
The accepted levels of everything are so low that no one can comply without medication. The medication has side affects as well. And so it goes.
I suspect when OCare kicks in, this trend will reverse.
I have noticed in the last few years, it even extends to veterinarians. Go figure.
That and the lowering and lowering of levels of what “is sick” ....In December of 2007, I was told no diabetes, just barely borderline. In February of 2008, I broke a rib and had a blood test and they said I was diabetic, did I want medicine? I asked how I got this way in less than 60 days? They said the government lowered the figures in January so I AM diabetic and will always BE diabetic. Asked me what I wanted to do, medicine or strict diet. I said “give me percoset for the ribs and I want to go home and have a beer.”
