Don't Get Too Excited About Medical Claims

No!  Don't get too excited about the claims of medical scientists when they boast of their great advances in medical science and how through the unerring power of science are going create a race of people that scoffs at the idea of living a mere  100 years.


In her book  Writing Well  Laurie Rozakis, Ph.D. have created a pretty accurate picture medical science progress as a whole (There have of course been some individual marvelous and beneficial medical accomplishments).


Here is how she described  "The Short History of Medicine":


2000    B.C.                              Here, eat this root.


1000    A.D.                              That root is heathen. Here, say this
                                                  prayer.


1850   A.D.                               That prayer is superstition. Here,
                                                  Drink this potion.


1940  A. D.                               That potion is snake oil. Here, take
                                                  this pill.


1985  A. D.                               This pill is ineffective. Here, take
                                                  this antibiotic.


2000 A. D.                                This antibiotic is artificial. Here,
                                                   take this root.


So, the best way to increase your longevity is to eat nutritious food and get plenty of exercise.  Ask Dr. Oz.
