Nonsense, my bil is nearly my age, 2 years in it I think, and he works part time helping his son run their auto parts store and does a lot of things, like building an area with raised vege beds surrounded by posts with 25% shade cloth, never still.

An uncle, in his mid-late 80s, flew here from England, etc.

I would be better off without this bloody arthritis etc but I am still kicking on at 76.

Well said rocky well said
Deterioration and failure are the norm unless you are proactive about it

What is the commonest reason for admission to hospital for an old person
A fall followed by a fracture

Is there something you can do to stop yourself falling

Absolutely

If everyday you practise standing on one leg and closing your eyes I'm trying to maintain your balance for 10 seconds you will have massively better balance

When you fall the commonest reason for hitting the deck is poor grip strength and the inability to grab a rail or furniture
To arrest your fall

Can you improve your grip strength

Absolutely

You can buy a pair of hand grips at Kmart for $10
Put them on the passenger seat of your car and everytime you are stopped at a red light pump your fingers and develop awesome grip strength

It's great to see rocky that you are starting to understand personal responsibility because that is the only thing that will save you

Our hospital system is a sick care system
It just lets you get sick and only then becomes interested in you

It is the equivalent of a car company selling you a car
And telling you nothing about servicing
Waiting till you break something
And then charging yourself or the taxpayer a fortune to replace or fix it

People service their car
So service your body

Two other very interesting studies

The two most rapidly rising conditions of old age
Dementia and Parkinson's disease
Are closely correlated with a lack of blood circulation through the brain

Sitting and lying down are disastrous for these conditions
You simply have to move
Get yourself a treadmill and just walk slowly whilst you watch Netflix or whatever else it is you are watching

Get yourself a whoop strap and get above 10000 steps per day everyday
Personal responsibility is where it is at rocky

Things like vaccines and cholesterol-lowering drugs
Are expensive Band-Aids that have very little to do with health

Not true.

My husband had a terrible time with Covid19 for a number of weeks (AFTER each jab too). 

Note : He’s had 4 jabs (up to date vaccine passport is an essential workplace requirement for him)

Re being a sook ... most men are so doesn’t that make him normal??? 😂🤣😆

Long Covid has become a scourge and people are claiming compensation for it from our Federal govt.

That’s why I keep posting that this pandemic is NOT over folks.

Right now as I type :

1. People are STILL getting INFECTED
2. People are STILL DYING
3. People are STILL AFFECTED <—- this is where long Covid slots in

by Covid...every day. In Australia.

One of our forum members - Carl is faithfully researching and posting up the stats for us each day because MMM isn’t reporting the stats like it used to.

The brutal reality re vaccines : vaccines haven’t resolved Covid. In fact vaccines can’t keep up with the mutant Covid strains. Some vaccines have unfortunately proven to be dangerous and are no longer available.

What we CAN do is this : understand and accept the current situation for what it is ie shitful and take responsibility for our own safety. It matters not what you believe regarding this pandemic or plandemic .. it’s time to move on from that and focus on staying healthy AND out of hospital. The Covid death rates are HIGHEST in hospital environments.

Absolutely.

The sad irony is, if you're sick you should keep well away from hospitals.

Aqua, Carl needs advice not only on how to improve his balance and grip but also his attention span.

Frank wrote on Jun 28^th, 2023 at 11:11am:



i think carl knows deep down that doing balancing exercises and improving grip strength are worthwhile, they certainly would have been worthwhile for his aunt.

but they require effort and carl isnt into that.




i got onto these guys when a slipped a disc and have been doing their back exercises every day , ever since.

they offer good sensible advice.

they are much more helpful then carl

LOL... yes mate, I was just thinking the same thing
as I read his usual "health" rant.

So many unfounded claims.  Such a lack of any citations.  A total lack of common logic.

And the Gold Logie for...  the analogy of servicing your
car with looking after your body!

          (I must remember to book my pancreas in for
          its 76-year service next week.)
