Ask the serious question, why so much illness then?
Are our foods good enough?



Ask the serious question, why are our life expectancies going up if we have so much illness

The only lives going longer into 80s and 90s are that tough generation, the frugals from pre war times. I don’t know how old/young you are, but my gen haven’t gotten there yet.
Too many around be with cancer, hypertension, diabetes type 2 etc.

And if we look at since the dawn of human, yes our life expectancy had gone up.
Due to better hygiene living conditions, food/nutrition, medicines, medical care.
Not everyone will be fortunate to get to a ripe old age. Some will, but not a majority with all health problems.
Even if some of my baby boom gen make it, and many don’t, to say 85, I wonder what percentage of our Aussie 5 million boomers will make it?

My mum passed over at age 90 over a year ago.
My brother at 58 has leukaemia, and now he just had a cancer in kidney, so that’s been taken out.
Yes he’s still alive but do you really call that living? Yes to living longer in this day and age compared to the dark ages.

I believe, medically, things will always  improve to help people with longevity.
But in the meantime until we need medical help, we must look after ourselves.
I know I have done so to date, my brother chose to be on cannabis since 15, living the life he did, and smoking cigarettes all that time, whereas I didn’t.
I’m over 5 years older than he. And I’m okay.

So the answer is yes, some of us will live longer by life’s choices we make.

OK, a bit of a ramble there.

There’s more to a question than yes or no.

Then the next question is why and how?

It’s been written long ago, our good scouts motto.... be prepared.

One of my fave quotes is if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

I watched an interview with a young English man locked down over 40 days in China.

See if I can find it to share link. He actually had the virus and recovered.
Tells it like it is. And what he does whilst locked up alone and isolated.
Found it.

Are you trying to say that leukaemia and kidney cancer are caused by dope and tobacco?

Spot, I have discussions with cousins and we can’t work it out.
None of us in history have had cancer, and I do ancestry too going back hundreds years.
My mum only passed over a year ago and I asked a lot of questions in the last 5 years of all the ancestors, so I was avid to get quite a bit of info on ancestry.

How come he has cancer, and then loses a kidney?

Doctors were puzzled as to how he got leukaemia when there is no history of it in our family.

He did smoke and I noticed before he found out he had leukaemia, when he coughed his lungs sound like it is gurgling.
I told him he should stop smoking then!

Now, I had a blood test to see if we matched for stem cells etc. it took 6 weeks to do the testing, then found out we were not matched.

Found out a sibling (brother/sister) have only 25% (1 in 4) chance of being a match.
Low odds isn’t it?

Another thing he did different to me, he ate a lot of meat whereas I hardly do.
I think marijuana is a great thing, good medicinal uses and can make lots of amazing stuff with hemp.

But when young, overuse of it, smoking, eating meat every week, I tend to point to that.
He had high blood pressure too.
He is not overweight and has always done physical work.

This is really puzzling but I can’t work out what else it could be.

Maybe there is something else to it?

It does take a few factors involved to get to that stage perhaps?

There’s only one other way to get this leukaemia, and I accidentally stumbled on it, HIV.

I will leave it at that.
