Most cancer screenings don’t extend life, study finds, but don’t cancel that appointment

Since this is from CNN...

I won't click the link, because why would any conservative want to put money into CNN's bank account.

“I’ve stayed healthy and away from doctors for years.”

That is my plan.

Like any human plan it is not perfect—but schlepping from one doctor appointment to another is not living—it is surviving.

The overall USELESSNESS of mammograms has been scientifically known and proven for over 30 years. But the discussion invariably get sidetracked into “Proven to save lives.”
The use of limited resources in such a blanket approach is irresponsible and unsustainable. But vested interests have a lot of control.

I cured that problem, they just cut out my sigmoid, ascending and part of the transverse colon.

Then they wanted to do a Pet Scan and I told them my dog wasn’t sick.

I guess the same people who gave us Covid ‘vaccines’ are disappointed not quite everybody got them or sickened by them, so they are simply talking down healthcare in general because we just don’t ‘need it’ anymore?

I don’t believe the stats so much. But maybe it’s just the people involved which now darken my view.

Maybe they are talking about the ‘turbo cancer’ that some doctors have reported for their patients who were ‘vaccinated’.

You are my inspiration! My kids hound me to get “screenings” and I just ignore them. I plan to stay as far away from the criminal medical establishment as long as possible. I’m 63.

But, I eat really well, exercise, keep my weight down, stay away from drama, drugs and alcohol, get plenty of sleep and sunshine.

In other words, I’m keeping my immune system functioning.

All this garb age from the far Left.

They started advocating to scale back or eliminate tests that help in early detection of illnesses. Remember, these are the same people who are stating the population must decrease dramatically. Since Obama, longevity in the USA has actually decreased as our new regime of bad healthcare gets rolled out to deliberately reduced the population.

Don’t trust a single thing that is spewed from the government or medical organizations. They are not here to help us in any way.

My system has proven to be the best for me. I’ll be 90 in Dec.

I'm convinced that if people reach 80 in reasonably good health, whatever they've been doing works for them.

I hope you can be like my mother's mother. She had a fatal heart attack when she was shoveling snow, about 6 weeks before her 100th birthday. Still living alone (her second husband died when she was about 80 and she decided not to get married again), and the oldest licensed driver in the state.

Grandma stayed busy and interested in lots of things her whole life. I'm pretty sure she never thought of herself as old.
