In my observation and experience with watching the medical profession do what it does with many family members, it is an art form of personal preservation to avoid being caught in the teeth of the medical industry. Nothing in that sentiment implies undue trust in alternative medicine. That being said, there are minor things that people can do to avoid and solve problems. Which might otherwise get over-treated should one submit to a doctor. Go to bed early, become skilled with vitamin C usage for vascular health preservation, find a way to be active every day, avoid PUFA, get your iron checked for overdose (they enrich everything with it), etc.
