Not to dissuade anyone from following a prescribed treatment. But Dr.’s kill a ton of people each year. Look it up. Those numbers really are not set in stone, at all. The Dr. act like they are. Surely it’s not because they get huge bonus’ from getting folks on a prescription regime, probably not. It’s a calculated average, probably an algorithmic calculation, to include my 150 lb. aging chassis up to the 600 lb. wonder eating 6000 calories a day.
There is more information available, both good and bad, than ever before in human history. You’d have to sort it yourself, it’s work. Or some prefer to dispel all that and just do what said Dr. thinks. It won’t kill him anyway. It’s YOU!
I was like 5 over the international standard. I told them (they were quite pushy too) I was not going to medicate a bad habit. I’ll eat (5) grapefruits a week and be done. Those “numbers” are parts per billion or trillion of a factor. Look that up too. Think about that. Write one trillion numerically on a napkin!
I admit I’m burnt. Since Covid I’ll never trust medical science flatly again. I survived cancer of late myself. Read all sorts of medical studies myself, the things Dr.’s study. You can too, if you want. At least I felt I did all I could. God loves me, and I’m still here.
