I did! It's not pathetic it's the truth. More people in this world have had a shortened life because they believed the so called scientific case studies, and believed their practitioner. If you want to be a sheep go right ahead, but there is another way, it's called a healthy lifestyle. I am gonna die from some of my own vises, but it sure as hell isn't gonna be from being chemically dependent on some drug.
It is not being a sheep to seek out life extension if one enjoys being alive, it is being able to see new things and participate in changes both bad and good. There are very few genetically near perfect that can live past 110. If you are in such a family you should be happy. If not, why is it so horrible to seek medical help. If you live in an area that gets the medical rejects from low level training or in an area where no foreign medical doctors can feel free to practice than you may need to seek further for diagnosis and help earlier than needed as humans do not naturally get healthier as they age, it decreases, and once neglected it is usually not reverseable. Everyone has to make their own decisions. Look at the people with the best medical care available ( US Congress and High Officials) and you will see that they ill use it until the cancer comes, or liver fails , etc. Most expect to live long and enjoy their prosperity. Sorry if sound preachy, dont' mean to be, Jim.
Yeah, me too. I am no fan of science deniers either, and I mean that in the LEAST political way there is. I'm on one "alternative" treatment that my neurologist suggested. He was upfront and honest about it. He told me that for about 1/3 of people it does nothing, for 1/3 it's a "miracle cure", and for 1/3 it helps somewhat. It looks like I'm in that last category.
This has got to be one of the most entertaining threads I have read in 10+ years of reading CoinTalk! Dramatic enough to be exciting, but civil enough without a vicious flame war and blatant insults. Seriously. Idk what I’m going to see when I read this thread. Kudos to the mods for keeping it open!
Your right I could have worded that better. Yes, Science and medicine has done a lot for the better welfare of people. I have also seen folks that were given pharmaceuticals and has had the complete reverse affect. Wound up in the hospital with deathly ill symptoms and some didn't even survive. The ones who did were never the same again. Just because we have science and all this chemically controlled medicines doesn't mean that we should rely on them alone. It does take exercise and a healthy lifestyle, Good intake into our body's. That drug that the doc gives you should be just as questioned as taking an illegal drug. Who knows what kind of side effects it will present now or down the road. That's your choice, I have made my choice and that is a Natural intake into the body. It has done better for me than the first 20 or so years. Like I said it is a life style not a get healthy quick pill.
And that is why cannabis should be federally legalized and we should all blaze up. Deaths from cannabis consumption: 0. But that will unfortunately never happen, because big pharma would then lose its monopoly and power over the masses. But we can only hope. How ironic that drugs such as Valium, Xanax, OxyContin and other menacing, destructive drugs are legal and can be prescribed, but smoke a plant with definite benefits...... that’s wrong. No no no! You’ll go to jail!
W O W ! If it weren’t for “Big Pharma”, I would have died 9 years ago. Zero doubt whatsoever. My side effect is that my heart still pumps and my son still has a father. It is only a relatively few years ago that what happened to me had a 100% fatality rate.
Well hey, if you’re ever at a show I am attending, I’ll roll a fatty just for you and I’ll introduce you to nature’s best medicine. It’s not an offer I extend to many.
That’s a proven fact, my man. It is humanly impossible to consume enough cannabis to OD, the human body would purge the excess before the amount necessary to OD would be reached.
That is heart felt. Glad your still around... I hope if I am ever in the same position that I have a good practitioner to help save my life. I still reside in the position that their are plenty of natural and organic remedies that I am able to research and try in need. Given the option of having to be dependent to a Pharmaceutical VS something natural. I am choosing the later. I also didn't argue with my Father, 6o years old and diagnosed with 4th stage cancer. He didn't want to end his life going through chemo and radiation treatments only to find that it wouldn't have changed things..He agreed to alternative treatments and hung around for over a year more than the DOC's gave him. Doing the same things that he had always done. And I am sorry @C-B-D for my part in hijacking your thread.
OK listen up. From post #261 through #277 - (basically page 14 in its entirety) have absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread. And yeah, we give a lot of latitude when threads go off on tangents, but the tangent should at least be related in some way to the topic at hand. This isn't ! So either get back on track or quit posting.
