What's a stent?

The amazing thing is the hospital is very very fast. They can get someone into surgery within 45 min of when they enter into the emergency room. This is a fairly universal standard now. If it takes them 90 min that is considered to be slow. The results are very good and the recovery is much better now then what it use to be. They are making some real good progress in this area.

My company had a health and wellness coordinator that was always trying to get us to try wheat grass smoothies. He died at 29.

I was talking to a guy yesterday that was 93 and he was exercising on the tread mill and the bicycle. I was surprised when I found out his age because he looked to be at least 10 years younger. My dream is to be in good physical condition when I am 70. Nothing extreme or excessive but at least reasonable.

I thought I heard that pigs don't sweat and that is why they are so full of toxins..?

No, they eliminate toxins by peeing and pooping. Pigs do sweat, but not effectively compared to people and horses. Dogs don't sweat much either which is why they pant so; cats sweat through their feet.

Pig skin has been used as a temporary graft for burn victims.

What did he die of?

Well now you’ve gone and done it.

He was a very health conscience person that advocated a healthy lifestyle involving lots of exercise and a healthy diet.

He was hit by a bus while running in Seattle listening to his I-pod with the ear plug head phones in. He did not look before running into an intersection right in front of the Coast Guard Museum at Pier 36.

So I'm relatively better off sitting here drinking beer and making bacon and eggs at ten o clock at night?

Pigs are prone to be carriers of disease simply because of how their biology and immune systems work. Shellfish are like the ocean's field mice and are magnets to just about anything.

Insulin for diabetics used to come from pigs and cattle before researchers came up with a synthetic in the 1970s and a biosynthetic in the 1980s.

That is an option, because cardio disease is fairly symptom free right up to when you have your heart attack. Some people decide to eat right when they are given a second chance and some decide not to. About 25% stick with the program for up to five years. 50% go through rehab and 50% of the graduates stick with the program. Some people have a full recovery, some have a partial recovery. I have one friend that is enjoying a pretty good recovery and he is excited to get out and get active again and to be adding years to his life.

For me I do not like the toxins in my food. I believe if I eat better food then my brain is a lot more clear and I can think a lot more clearly. Although there maybe people on here that do not go along with that Some people like to take drugs and drink and they seem to enjoy their confusion. College kids who need to think clearly often have the worst diet and drink the most. Perhaps it all does not catch up with them until later on in life.

I don't drink and never plan to: my family has a history of addiction problems and I would rather not risk it. Even if I wanted to, my ADHD medication becomes deadly when combined with alcohol and many other chemicals. However, I see no reason why I can't enjoy some bacon once a month or so, and not still be healthy. It's a matter of moderation. Additionally, certain foods associated with bad health can actually be fine with the right amount of exercise. There is even a body builder that eats fast food every day, just to prove that it won't ruin your body so long as you have a lifestyle that accommodates it. Fast foods, most people do not realize, are full of vitamins and nutrients. It is mostly the fat content that makes them bad for you, and those calories can be worked off.

Consider also the role of genetics in health: I am high risk for aggressive breast cancer. Both sides of the family have it, and they had it young (below 50). If my mother ends up getting it, I am pretty much doomed to eventual breast cancer, since both my dad's parents died before the age of 60 from aggressive cancers. Nothing about my eating habits is likely to prevent that from happening with such a strong genetic predisposition to cancer, so I am better of screening for it and catching it early when it happens than trying to avoid it entirely.

I do not know about cancer, I have not really studied up on it. Other then usually cancer is easy to control with prayer and I am sure there is a diet for that also. When it comes to cardio vascular disease this is the number ONE cause of death in American and it is called the silent killer. Also it is considered to be 100% preventable. So even if you enjoy bacon even once there is going to be a tiny amount of build up in your cardio system as a result of that. This is a disease that progresses slowly over our life time. Now I am on a low fat, low salt low sugar diet. Maybe to make up for all the times when I ate an excessive amount of sugar, salt & fat. They say all things in moderation and we have to be careful not to overdue it. I see where people will make bacon and grind it up and sprinkle it very sparingly on their food, so they get the taste they want without filling their body up with fat.

-_- try to cure cancer with prayer alone and you will die. Also, you forgot the factor of exercise, which I brought up. I move around a lot thanks to ADHD making it hard to stay still, and walk more than a mile a day thanks to pacing alone.

If it were not for God I would have been gone a long time ago. His rock solid promise to us is that He will cause good to come out of everything in our lives. All things work together for the best. He will not allow something to happen if He cannot cause it to work for our benefit.

In contrast, if I had believed in an afterlife around the age of 16, I would have killed myself, for the fear of oblivion was the only thing stopping me from enacting my depressed, destructive thoughts.

Have any data, showing cancer is easy to control with prayer?

Please don't give me an off topic response, just a simple yes or no will do.

Proper exercise, is the single most important behavior, one can participate in, to improve their health.
