I personally don't mind people es...Hi Kat :-).<br /><br />I personally don't mind people espousing such ways of life. but sometimes what you can get is a completely one sided look at things.<br /><br />Most but not all dementia happens in older people and the lack of dementia in paleolithic times was mainly down to people not living too long; this also was the case for many other conditions, because if you have a lower global populous who cannot so easily interact and converge and share understanding, like today with planes, trains, cars and internet, then record keeping and understanding are limited.<br /><br />Disease statistics will be hard to prove, but many things like autism, dementia etc don't kill, so therefore the argument about better healthcare stacks up in many ways, but not in all, as such conditions cannot be related to death statistics, unless someone with dementia forgot about certain dangers and succumbed to them.<br /><br />As for people not having condition X many years ago, or less people having it, it's partly because many people with conditions even going back just 40-50 years, were misdiagnosed, or treated for things that had no name or little understanding that got assumed to be something else, especially if it's a rare genetic condition that might affect 1 in 500,000 for example..<br /><br />People were still getting lobotomised for psychological conditions in America until around 1964, when drugs replace lobotomies, simply because ever since the 1930's lobotomies garnered around a 33% success rate.<br /><br />The main issues included no change.<br /><br />No change to the main issue with additional new symptoms.<br /><br />Worsening of the main symptoms with additional new symptoms.<br /><br />Improvement or cessation of the main symptoms but with other symptoms starting to occur.<br /><br />Death.<br /><br />One guy got treated for so-called behavioural problems this way and improved, only to discover many years later when he had a scan, that he had a hole in his brain, because the medical team had taken part of his brain out, I imagine under the belief that if the faulty bit got removed, the problem would desist.<br /><br />He was considered likely to have had ADHD, but it was little understood then and treated often as one or more other things, when many symptoms were similar to one or more other conditions known about at the time.<br /><br />Certain ways of living are a good thing, providing that they are being promoted in a way that is not a bit misleading, because even the people selling you credible health alternatives, not phoney ones like raspberry ketones or slimfast, are still often out to make money, so you can't always expect them to keep their products spin free, but I cannot comment on the people you spoke to as I don't know all that they said or what the complete reasons for saying what they did as they may have had honest reason, but then again there might have been a slightly subversive subtext.<br /><br />It's good to know you're doing as well as can be and I wish you all the best. You're a wonderful person and I'm proud of being able ot give you my support and insights, because I think you deserve it <br /><br />:-) :-).<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
