Sorry to say that you are wrong... but it is not uncommon. I have had relatives that went to the hospital and suffered the consequences (usually caught something other than their original disease), so no...I say thank you to hospitals.
Now I can understand that some of the common remedies work for diabetes, headache, and other common problems, but if you actually want to live longer - stay away from doctors and hospitals at all costs... You will catch more that you originally had... This is one of the major “Universal Health Care” problems that you will forsake for possible care otherwise....
Right away you answer with strawmen so you can just go fiddle away in your room of homoeopathic treatments.
“if you actually want to live longer - stay away from doctors and hospitals at all costs”
I tend to agree. Every few years I will go to a clinic just to get a blood profile in order to see what my liver is doing, since I drink a lot of wine.
My LDL cholesterol has consistently been very high, but my HDL is also way above normal.
I am sure if I were back in the USA and with a regular doctor, he would probably insist that I go on some statin drug. My BP has always been text book perfect, no matter when or where I take it.
At age 64, I will let nature take it’s course.
I do take aspirin as a prophylactic treatment, but not on a religious schedule.
I had a stroke when I was 49yo. Did I make a mistake going to the hospital? Should I quit taking my blood pressure medicine and let it get back up to 170 / 110?
