A young woman often asks, "How can I put old on hold?" She's understandably annoyed if I tell her to read my book. The questioner usually expects a quick and easy magic answer. It's easy if you start early in life and follow through with a growth-oriented mindset,  diet, and lifestyle. But Before anything else, you have to ask and  answer  some essential questions: Do … [Read more...] about It’s Not Over Until It’s Over

Anyone who thinks the typical American diet provides all the required nutritional elements to stay healthy is seriously misguided. Don't bother asking most doctors for nutritional guidance. You will likely be told: "Just eat a balanced diet, and you will be fine. Don't waste your money on vitamins." Overlook that he was probably not taught about nutrition in medical school. … [Read more...] about How Seniors Can Easily Boost Their Health

lOverheard from a healthy  83-year-old man:

"I am a completely illiterate computer person, not tech-savvy at all. I have no idea how to transfer photos from my cameras to the computer, so I will have to wait till I find  a little kid to do it for me."

He laughed … [Read more...] about How Seniors Are Maneuvered Into Decline

I belong to a group of researchers scattered across the US. Some in the group have contacts in Germany, Italy, and Australia. We share information and try to stay abreast of current political and social events that shape or eventually will shape our lives. The different pieces of information from various parts of the US or elsewhere are often similar. For example, before the … [Read more...] about They Really Don’t Like Us

Many people think all doctors are wealthy. That's not true. Wealthy doctors are usually those trained for a specialty such as cosmetic surgery or any popular specialty practice that doesn't accept insurance. I recently received a letter from a local doctor that is reminiscent of what many insurance-accepting doctors deal with. Read it carefully and think about it.

My … [Read more...] about What This Doctor Grapples With

We've heard or seen it a hundred times every day: "Joe Biden is too old to run for office." NO, HE IS NOT TOO OLD TO RUN FOR OFFICE! As TV Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary, AKA "Mr. Wonderful," would say in jest, "Stop the madness!" Joe is old, but his chronological number  (age) does not control his mental or physical ability. Maybe the constant chanting about being too … [Read more...] about The War Against Old People

Decline starts the day we are born, but evidence isn't visible until you reach your late thirties. That's when you begin to see annoying facial changes: puffiness under the eyes; skin texture becomes more coarse and lax; fine lines appear; jawline isn't as firm as it once was. Much of it reflects how we have been living, although we refuse to believe that simple … [Read more...] about There Is A Long Road Ahead So Plan Ahead

Early in the COVID hoax, I stated many times that the purpose for the government's frantic insistence that everyone be vaccinated was not based on a health concern. It was not my imagination;  I cited reliable sources for my comments, yet I was roundly criticized for spreading misinformation. For speaking out, I was banned (and still am banned) from that ultimate bastion for … [Read more...] about Will You Be Eating Your Neighbor?

I live near an "upscale" retirement community. In a recent widely distributed community newsletter, the retirees were in an uproar because younger people were trying to muscle their way in and disrupt what I call their "snoozing" lifestyle. They resent the noise and vitality of younger people and are unafraid to verbalize their displeasure.

But wait . . .isn't there … [Read more...] about I Wanna Live Like A Young Person

Several years ago, my daughter told me that my grandson "Bill"  had a girlfriend," Mary," but he was reluctant to tell me about it because Mary was older than he was. Bill was aware that in our unyielding horse and buggy culture, a man is supposed to be older than a woman. Isn't it amazing that in our "anything goes" world,  we still give chronological age the power to rule … [Read more...] about The Angst And Agony Of Disobeying Society’s Age Rules
