Why statistics are a false and dangerous way to manipulate Human Life and Health

Thanks. That message is helpful for treating existing medical conditions.

Can we be better health advocates, for our family, friends, and loved-ones, by looking into nutrition, and how we can adapt that to each individual?

Are there any guides, that would help a person without the need for for treating existing medical conditions, but who just wants to understand their own metabolism, and aim for peak health?

If we don't want to be statistics: how can we better understand our own personal ideal health?
Could we all keep excel spreadsheet files, detailing what we consume, and how we feel?

Ideal nutrition is about more than just how we feel, isn't it?
About more than just reactionary Western medicine, isn't it?

Can we imagine an ideal society, where we would seek peak health for every individual, instead of being reactionary?
Then: perhaps, we could move beyond statistics.

Meet the immortal jellyfish. It apparently never dies of old age, being able to revert to an immature form when necessary.

Another interessting fish is the shark - All sorts of claims have been made over the years for shark cartilage as a supplemnt.

I don't know if the benefits have been proven.


But like the supplement/vitamin revolution that probably took off in the 60s - the more the statisticians [working for who?] keep studying the supposed benefits of relatively inexpensive vitamins and supplements, the more 'they' find that
maybe they aren't so good after all.


But what 'they' won't tell you is that in any given year many, many thousands of people die from prescription drugs,
even when taken as prescribed - AND ALMOST NO ONE DIES OF SUPPLEMIENTS!
