That’s how I felt in my 20s. What’s above is my opinion in my 50s, after multiple hospitalizations and serious chronic illnesses.

Best option of all is to stay fit. Some of mine were out of my control (genetics), but some were probably not. And the extent to which the genetic ones expressed was probably somewhat in my control.

Well, yeah, I'm talking after regular exercise and a good diet.

I've seen people give in to stuff like wrist magnets and rejecting vaccines because they didn't like "chemicals in their body".

Why have this whole industry if people reject it?

I personally have the opposite problem - I can't get what I need.

I managed to a few times and can tell my life is noticeably worse without medication. So I guess this is the result of my experience so far.

Seeing people with access to prescriptions or suppliers who simply refuse to try "chemicals" because they can't be arsed to experiment or even learn how they work makes me sad.
