I am 88 and I have never seen any health care provider all my life. My secret

I am 88 years old (89 in June). I have never seen any health care provider (HCP) all my life for health concerns. Neither am I planning on seeing any for another 40 years at least. I have been following strict preventive health principles (what have been described in any healthy lifestyle), for over 65 years. I still claim to have all my teeth (my own teeth), and I am in perfect health.

One of my pastime is gym (not my favorite though). Yes, still I am a fitness freak. I also love jogging, swimming and dancing. I believe,

"To stay fit, one must be able to endure some pain (physical exercise). As they say, "No pain no gain".

My blood pressure (BP) ranges between 100-115 systolic and 60-75 diastolic. You may call it a teen age BP. I have never smoked, though I drink occasionally or drink on rare social occasions.

I love to laugh and enjoy life. My best pastime is either reading preventive health journals or comic magazines. As I love to laugh, so I watch TV programs like "Just for laugh, Gags". I think it is really a comical program. It makes me laugh and laugh for hours even after I finish watching it. I still love to watch Marx Brothers' movies from time to time. Oh they do bring back good old memories. I believe laughter is the best remedy for any kind of stress in life. The other one is sexercise. That brings me to my next favorite topic i.e. "My social life on socially forbidden topic, SEX."
.
I have an enviable social life with opposite sex. I do not suffer from any problem like what they call 'erectile dysfunction". Most men at my age suffer from it (though they are ashamed to admit it). I do not take any Viagra or Cialis because I don't need to. In other words, sexually speaking, I don't feel any different today than I used to feel at my age of 25. In fact it is better today because in those days I used to suffer from premature ejaculation. Now I can last for hours. That is why I call it sexercise. I believe, "good sex" with a good, understanding and loving partner is the best solution to all the health problems.

What seems more surprising to my friends is the fact that I have never taken any pill (medication) all my life, not even a headache medication. On the other hand all my friends of my age (if they are still alive), are either in the nursing homes or are carrying bags of prescribed medications. They look terrible physically and mentally and always envy my health.

I would like to add my secret for healthy life. You may never believe it but it is true. The secret is:

Never see any health care provider (HCP), no matter what, for as long as you live.

Like many others you may laugh. But I have good reason to say this. Here it is why? Once you read it you may agree with me.

A. I have many examples where people have gotten sicker after they have been to the office of a health care provider (HCP). I have no statistic on that but I find most victims are the regular visitors (patients) of HCPs. Once they fall into the trap of (HCPs) they never get out of it.

B. HCPs love to give you medications injudiciously. They believe medication (pill) is the answer to everything. They have brainwashed the public into believing this also. Little they (the patients) know that they develop new problems after taking the prescribed medications.

C. If patient complain that he has developed new symptoms from the medications he took, he is prescribed new medications to counteract new problems. Now a vicious cycle has formed. More medications more new problems. Pretty soon the victim (the patient) has whole formulary in his house but no health.

D. Never get any so called lab tests or diagnostic tests. They have false positive and false negatives which put you even in more trouble than what you were already in.

E. Medical, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and many other ancillary and paramedical industries are commercial. They are in to making money. Huge sum of money. They never give you any advice to make you healthier. Their advice is to make you sicker so they make more money out of you

The best way to stay healthy is to "Never see any health care provider". They never tell you anything about health anyway. What they do tell you is all about sickness. They are trained about diseases and love to see you sick and unhealthy. One more thing, health care providers never tell you about preventive health. It is counterproductive and dangerous to their pocket. Preventive health care will make you healthy like me. They don't want you to be healthy. Believe me I have many friends who say the same thing.

I hope you agree with me. I would like to hear your opinion.
