Please Tell Me
I just found the following unaswered post from "tellme" deep in our achives. Hopefully we can point him/her in the right direction without too much disagreement.

C69
Please tell me. I just got diagnosed with Hepatitis C, genotype 1, stage 2. Should I treat or not? Is the 4-week PCR really necessary?
What about Peg Intron versus Pegasys? Do you suggest I wait for Vertex? Is there really an occult virus? What about herbs? Milk thistle? Botox? Is it OK to drink socially before and after treatment? Does Brian fog really exist and where does he live? My doctor wears bow ties, is that reason enough to switch. Is it true that some consider fudgicles helper drugs? Tell me, please tell me.

I will have mine with a cold Miller draft, thank you!
well, my greatgrandma was overwt, ate whatever was affordable and drank rum frequently, made it to over a hundred. Had a big smile on her face each time we brought her a bottle. Her daughter died after a stroke, much younger than her, lived in the same house and same town, probably ate the same type of food, and was also over wt.
when you gotta go, you gotta go.
Do whatever feels right and whatever makes you feel good mentally and physically. It is your choice, as long as is not illegal.
for me, I rather eat cheesecake than tofu, but i can eat both, just not together.

To me, the point is, you do what you want, I do what I want. I don't kid myself that I really have much power over it. If it makes you feel like you are winning the battle against dying eventually, great. We pick our poisons, STRESS is probably the second most influential next to genetics regardless of what you consume.
I know it empowers people to think they can change things by "eating better" or exercising or you name it, and maybe they do buy a year, a day, a week, but the truth is it comes down to the single most important factor being genetics. Sure you can hasten your death if you dtink, eat, do anything to excess, but being stressed out all the time is more likely to kill you. Wear a seatbelt and avoid stress is undoubtedly more effective. We just are not in control like we wish we were.
I spent far too many years around people at the end of life to fall for any of it, the teas and tofu and supplements, exercise, stopping habits... forget it, genetics or stress is gonna get you! If you knew how many very aged people led lives filled with "bad habits" before people knew they were bad, you'd see it for yourself like I have. Most "bad habits" either kill you young or you wear thin of them and stop them at some point. My job was outreach so essentially my job was to talk to people and listen to people. I asked everyone about this topic, smoking, drinking, if they had when they quit why and how. Not to judge them, but just to understand their lives. ALL I met said they just "got sick of smoking/drinking" or sick of dealing with the problems the habit caused. NOT ONE person told me they quit because someone said they should. NOT ONE person quit ANY habit due to outside influences. Virtually every person I met grew up when smoking was considered good for you! Drinking whiskey was the remedy for illness, you got sick, they brewed up a remedy that always included alcohol.
I am just saying it like I heard it. I do not care one lick what you or anyone chooses to do when it comes to eating, drinking, smoking, any of it. Yo do as you like. I hope it pans out for you. Me, I take it day by day and focus on TODAY not an iffy tomorrow. I wear a seatbelt ALWAYS and I stay HAPPY. To me that is the key enjoying the moment. Worrying about what might be is too stressful, I avoid it like the plague.

We did lose track didn't we.
Regarding, phlem, flem, flan, or however, you spell it -- I sometimes get it from my lungs in the morning, and try and cough it up, but never ate it. Maybe it would be different if I was Mexican, really don't have an answer here.

This post sounds like it's from one of our jokers of days gone by, I think it's best not to get the posts flowing on this one. LOL
