Just wondering

I am reluctant to say this, because it sounds like a cop out, but my body seems to do better when left to its own ways and means in many instances.

My blood pressure medicine seems to work, but that is after years of experimenting and dealing with tons of adverse reactions. Other medicines mostly seem to do more harm than good.

My joints are my weakest parts, but they heal best when left alone to do their thing. Add physical therapy or soft casts and it seems to make things worse.

If I eat right and stop doing things that cause pain, I seem to bounce back from most things, at least so far.

It makes me think that barring common sense, some poverty can be a blessing. Not being able to run to the doctor for every little complaint might have saved me a ton of misery.
