Is this a skill set you want, or one you have little control over and have learned to tolerate? Can you ‘mute’ it at certain intervals? Are there others in your family who have that same sensitivity?
Godspeed soldier!
You go that right.
I’ve been trying to find it, but I read that 30% of smokers get cancer. My family didn’t get lung cancer but did get emphysema. Won’t matter to me because I’ll get dementia first.
First names only. We tried to not get too close because of the high mortality rate.
That is the ‘point’..
Ain’t gonna get outta here alive anyway
Of course there is a whole new meaning to the old saying
Eat Drink and be Merry(Mary)
Don’t smoke (because my Mother did and I hated it), don’t drink outside of an occasional Beer (because my Father was an Alcoholic) and don’t do Drugs (because it’s stupid and I’m cheap).
I was diagnosed with Leukemia (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) when I was 52 and with MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome) eight years later.
I’m still breathing, that’s all that matters.
I obviously missed out on a lot of fun for nothing. #;^)
If you do not smoke or drink, maintain a regular intense exercise regime, and adhere to a strictly vegetarian diet that maintains your bodyfat below 10%; you may not live longer, but it will sure SEEM like a lot longer.
My state has the lowest rate of cancer so I’d say sunshine and clean air.
Judging from my bout with breast cancer, I blame living in a stressful environment. Maybe that can be attributed to lifestyle; I guess it can. Get stress out of your life and maybe you won’t get cancer, ulcers, and extreme hair loss. Just my 2 cents.
I’m waiting for a study that says kale uses cancer. It will hopefully stop people from trying to press that nasty junk on others.
Yep, nobody gets out of this life alive.
The ignorance of many in this thread is appalling.
The new, unwritten theme of my book is “last man standing” (referring to me).
I know 85 year-olds absent cancer or any other disease living independent lives. I also know 60-somethings in assisted living facilities, their bodies ravaged by self-abuse of lifestyle-induced impaired health. I also know people who have CURED their own cancers and decades later are cancer free absent any AMA-centric treatment intervention. I also know plenty of people who have survived whatever disease their prior lifestyle caused and now barely survive with one foot in the grave under the watchful eye of their physician and the pharmacist managing up to a couple dozen prescriptions and, of course, now-engaging a healthful life in a desperate grasp at a few more years.
So if you so-called Conservatives appreciate being dependent upon your doctor and, by extension, the government, then the answer is in the affirmative...
...with all the detractors now left to defend their hypocrisy and/or their ignorance.
No apologies for being blunt; I’m sick & tired of acquiescing to those who rationalize their choices to their own peril and, as its becoming all-too-common, shirking the costs of their subsidized medical and/or long-term care onto others and attacking those who defend the right to self-expire humanely of their own accord.
Actually, everyone in the civil war died. And the Revolutionary War, and the Spanish American war, and... 8-)))
(Sorry; couldn’t resist)
Sorry. Didn’t see your post.
LOL!
It is NOT an ability I desire.
I have learned to tolerate it for the most part, but there are times when it is absolute torture.
It’s as though I am stuck straddling the fence between two different perceptions of reality. This one is not my first choice. While I would never take my life, I would prefer to die and let go of this body.
All consciousness has frequency. All thoughts have frequency. Some are at a frequency that creates pain, such as fear and anger. Some create joy, such as the feeling of love.
If I am around a fearful person, the bottoms of my feet cramp up. I’m like a walking MRI in that I feel the details inside other people’s bodies, even in areas where there are no sensory nerve receptors.
When I approach a person, I am walking through the timeline of their life memories.
Cancer is a very unusual feeling as it feels like cactus. This sounds a bit off the wall, but love dissolves cancer.
No. This is Off The Wall.
What you post is just a lot of self-delusional new age psychobabble pseudoscience.
I have a friend who says that the only way to avoid the aches and pains of getting older is to endure the aches and pains of vigorous exercise.
It appears that the MD stands for Maryland and not Medical Doctor.
