My Mississippi family: Dad died at 89. Grandmother passed at 96. Other grandmother at 88. Aunt living, next birthday she’ll be 96. All of them rarely saw a doctor, including the aunt. She goes maybe once a year to hers. And all of them loved fried chicken.

My Kentucky grandparents and aunts all made it to mid to late 80's, mother to 93. Most of them were Seventh Day Adventist vegetarians. My grandfather saw a doctor once in his life, to get an X-ray for TB screening to protect the kids.

Maybe the secret is avoiding doctors.

“Maybe the secret is avoiding doctors.”

That’s what my dad always said.

Just think, since the beginning of time generation after generation lived, had families, were healthy....all before the emergence of hospitals, Medicare, health insurance, etc. I know there were some diseases, infant deaths, and other problems. But those things still happen today also with a zillion doctors and medical research going on.

So, for the better part of civilization, society existed without modern medical “help.”
