Don’t get me wrong I am all for man made pharma’s.
Yet I try diet and simple measures, as my first line of attack.
When I was young I was all about going to a doc and getting a pill for what needed a cure.
Then as I aged and have very limited time I started with diet about 15 yrs ago.
Not one one taking capsules for nutrition other than Vit D (PNW neighbor) I eat what I crave right now it is foods high in Vit K.
I have taken man made thyroid for most my life and that is a blessing else I would not be here (no thyroid gland) but boy that is such a huge hormonal and how the body processes everything else that I just don’t mess with it by mixing up to much.
If God willing I can do it via diet first then so be it.
I don’t have to cook/make meals for anyone other than myself so if I want to say drink dark cherry juice and do a fast for the occasional gout attack to lower those uric acid levels I am free to do so.
Perks to being single for life.
Downside finding someone you trust to drive you home from that colonoscopy.
