You may be surprised, but I agree with every single line there.
It’s why, when listening to talk radio, I always change the station when a commercial for relief factor comes on. :)
FWIW, I do the same thing when ads for identity theft prevention products come on.
I have an acquaintence that uses the VA for his medical ailments. He has a problem in one knee that needs to be fixed by surgery, but all they will do for him is give him these injections of some sort of lubricant every few months.
In my case and my wife’s. we’re all about lifestyle. e.g. we raise our own chickens for eggs, I eat venison shot on our property, and we also raise a cow or two for meat. We NEVER do fast food and very rarely eat at restaurants at all.
I’ve created a few hiking trails on our 32 acres of forest and fields for exercise (and it’s amazingly beautiful, to boot).
With all that said, there is something to be said for natural healing, especially as your body ages. Some things just get worse as you get old. My back feels better than it did in my 20’s, but it’s more fragile.
You’re on the right track. Read up on gut health (they’re finally accomplishing some real results this year) to compliment your choices.
Congrats on breaking the cycle (my new title will elaborate on that statement). Best of health to you both.
