My husband is the same way; tons of pills every day and night. Yet he still lives an unhealthy lifestyle.

I guess he thinks the pills will take care of everything. Watching him do that has given me a real aversion to pills. I try to avoid them and live healthy.

Yes, because carrots and broccoli can do wonders for cancer and cardiomyopathy and rheumatoid arthritis....lol

Per the census bureau - life expectancy for someone who was 65 in 2012 has been raised to 84 for men and 85 for women. A few years increase over the past. Of course those numbers are just averages. Per these numbers my DH will live 12 more years and I will live another 18.
However, I once had a patient who claimed to be a seer and she kept telling me I was going to die on my 80th birthday. At the time I was about 30 so that was fine with me - 80 seemed very far away.

I had a dream about 5 years ago where I was told that my husband would die when he was 90 and I would die at 75. It was so vivid that I'll never forget it.

Glad you mentioned it.

Yes, 'carrots & broccoli' can do wonders!!

Food can heal; Food can kill. Your decision.

And people taking medication? You're not living a 'healthy' life.

Just circles back to my statement,

'We're not living longer, we're dying longer'.

That's your experience and I feel sad about that but your experiences and negative feelings about medicine and life are not how most people feel. Food can nourish, it CANNOT heal. You know that as well as anyone. I've yet to see or hear about anyone who had a brain tumor cured by soup....

Yes, there are many cases where brain tumors have been reduced by lifestyle & diet. Forks Over Knives has many testimonials proving that fact. It's not a secret. The answer is there, free for the taking.

Sad to see doctors scamming their patients into

thinking they don't have a choice over their destiny.

Food CAN heal.

Food is Empowering.

You DO have a choice.

It's been my observation that there are very few people that I know who are in their 80's who are in good physical and mental health. I think calling 70 middle age is quite a stretch though. My husband is 73 and even though he just retired last year and is in pretty good shape, he is nothing like he was at 50. I'm 66 and in fairly good health and I would love to be 50 again, 66 isn't middle age.

Thanks for your honest feelings. I do have a lot of friends and family members who are now in their 80's but most have expressed concerns about not being able to do so many things as well as they once did.

Many are taking a lot of meds..others rely on family members to help with daily living activities. 80 year olds and of course 90 year olds usually require a lot of help from family or paid care givers. Nice if they have it, or can afford it.
