Young and stupid

We never took care of our bodies when we were young just eat and drink any thing like a cow.

Now that we are older gotten wiser but it’s too late to cure the diseases and chemicals we have in our bodies.

So now we are paying a hefty price for our health and most of us don’t even have insurance or the money to see those doctors who do not care any more about their patients because they work for the pharmaceutical company just to get richer.

My advise to all of you out there look for natural remedies believe me there’s a cure for what ever disease you have not like the drugs the doctors prescribe for us just to get PAID. I’ve been suffering for the past ten years from aches all over my body and it’s not fun when your health is very bad.

To good health

I appreciate that you are expressing how you feel. But many people using this forum have had major surgery and need the strong medication that is prescribed from the UK NHS.

I hope that you feel better soon.

This cancer affects people from all walks of life, fit and not fit, health conscious eaters as well as you say young and stupid.

Survivorship is surgery and medication, we have no choice, and are the lucky ones.

We are very lucky here in the UK we have our wonderful NHS which at times like this doesn't ask for insurance or money. I can't fault the care I had from my brilliant surgeon John Wayman or from the nursing staff. I am still here after 8 years and enjoying life! I don't think my life style had anything to do with my cancer not for many other people who post on this website.

That should say nor for many others who post here. I must say also I find it worrying that much younger people are getting cancer than it appears used to!

I've kept fir all my life, don't smoke or drink yet I ended up with stomach cancer. When I asked my surgeon "How can this be?" Hs reply: "How long is a piece of string?"

Have you been exposed to harsh chemicals or Mold in your work or house even the cleaning products we use to clean our bathrooms and yards are full of them harmful chemscals

Your doctor should work with you on your health and always seek a second and third opinion it’s your right that’s your health those docs are playing with

Some might say: 'I'm old and stupid' (86 years young) going for a run each morning at five o'clock. I've lived and worked all around the world, three countries in Europe, Far East and Middle East with no health problem. If the answers to all our health problems were known there would be no purpose to life.
