Hi Grz,

Horray for you Improvements !

I wish others had as much backbone as you have shown in your Recovery !

Your comments to my post: Most people do not understand and/or comprehend a great many things when it comes to health and well being...

First, they do not understand that the lifestyles and diet of their ancestors, both living and dead, have a profound influence on their predispositions for health or not.

Second, they do not understand that the way they were fed, raised, (habits developed) and taught also has a profound effect.

Third, they do not understand that their choices, all of them, have a direct impact on their well being, either good, or bad... in some ways a bad food could be good under one circumstance and bad under another...

For instance the joyous, grateful, appreciative indulgence in a meal including a luscious desert among friends and family will have a beneficial effect while the same meal eaten with overwhelming feelings of guilt and regret will have a negative impact.

Fourth, most people with degenerative illnesses, aches, and pains, along with a reduced defense against disease (no matter what age) fail to realize that the issue is about all of the above PLUS, their personal choices in everyday life, including diet, occupational choice, etc.

Fifth, the mistake is all too often made, if/when one becomes aware that change needs to take place, that the expected change/improvement to an effort or method is to occur in days, weeks, or months, when undoing countless years of damage, perhaps inherited predispositions can in reality take years... and years. When they do not get expected results "fast enough", they move on in disappointment, perhaps leaving behind a beneficial practice, and end up chasing their tails.

Sixth, once they understand it may take, weeks, months, years, most lack the discipline, and or become discouraged and/or are unwilling to give up their "bad habits" that got them there in the first place...

Seventh, many are unwilling to give up their social bonds/ties which can and do chain them to bad habits through peer pressures.

It takes resolve, patience and perseverance to continue the effort for as long as it takes...

It also requires stepping out of a comfort zone and in some cases becoming a lone wolf... I am like that in my family. I am a health consultant to a point, but am told "I do not want to know" when I say something that would really help, but that they are not ready for.

There are more reasons, such as believing things that are not, however this is enough food for thought.

BTW - dad told me yesterday that he is very pleased with my health and well being having avoided knee replacements, among other things... he was one of my biggest and most persistent antagonists when I refused to get the artificial knees... he even came over one day when I was having a terrible time walking to take me to the doctor so that I could schedule the surgery... That was a fight :-)

I am jogging/walking 4.2 miles next month for a local charity event... on the knees I was born with :-)

next year? I may jog the whole thing.
