In a post, yes. In the introduction, a little more space should be given. I like your charts and agree with your information. There are several questions that I am on the lookout for when reading history. One is the burial practices, another is the life expectancy. The older stories tells us that man should live to be 120 year of age. And of course don’t use the bible for this. The main cause of mass deaths were the plagues. Which we don’t have today at the scale they had. Even though it has been a bigger killer than wars. The problems we are having verifying the information is that the people who stories were passed down and eventually written down, use sky burials, then the bones were crushed and burnt so the sprits would rise with the smoke. But the question becomes, if they did live that long, what was their medical practices? Then by the time of Egypt the well-off lived to be in the eighties. The greatest power was in the word of the past. Conquering rulers were known for taking a book of knowledge of the past over gold and silver, like they were trying to find knowledge that had been passed down from the past as if the answers were in the past and something had caused man to lose that knowledge. Most religions today believe that earth and everything else was created by using the “word", knowledge.
As the baby boomers are passing on today, I am seeing friends and family dealing with medical problems, and I am seeing the mental side of it is hard for everyone involved. Death should not be this hard. And doctors should not have to deal with the families’ mental stress. Religion has always taken up that task. And I don’t think that naturopathy medical deals with the families stress either, but I think people are looking around and trying different ideas. I know I am seeing to many people going to the hospitals and care facilities and drugged into the state of zombies. There just are not enough good doctors to take care of the aging problems.
As being in the medical profession I’ll tell you this story that just happen. A few friends and I are playing around in the marijuana movement. Trying to stop the dopers from representing the marijuana movement and give more light on the doctors and researchers. Ann who worked in insurance and I had the pleasure of working with in several business in the past had joined the team. Ann’s husband, Steve, is eighty years old and a couple of weeks ago woke up and could not sit up or hardly move. Both Steve and Ann take a handful of pills every day. But they were looking at alternate natural medicines also. Steve is in the hospital and Steve’s family comes to stay at Ann’s house. Now Ann is really worried because they now have nine marijuana plants growing in the back yard. They are allowed twelve plants in California. But Ann is worried about what Steve’s family will think and say. One member of Steve’s family, Mary, loves to drink coffee. But her hands shakes so bad that someone has to hold her hand so she can drink. It has been that way for several years now. When Steve’s family found the marijuana plants in the back yard, they ask Ann if she would give some marijuana to Mary to see if it would help her shaking, because they have tried everything else and have read stories about marijuana helping people. Ann made some brownies and called me with the story that Mary’s hands had stopped shaking, and she could now drink coffee by herself. It has been a week now and Mary’s hands has not shaken, Ann is a hero with Steve’s family. Steve is supposed to come home this week.
Doctors should have all tools and medicine to work with is my feeling and things like Mary’s shaking shows me that there is still more that needs to be learned when it comes to doctoring. And it would be nice to know if people of our past did live to 120. And what medicines did they use?
