It is a catch 22 isn't it? Monitoring your health and taking preventative measures seems wise but all of the "I dunno lets throw a bunch of shit at the wall and see what sticks" method of prescribing medication seems counterintuitive.

This everything for profit model is screwing with my brain. If something doesn't generate profit, it is losing money somehow? I prefer to see it as a cost of providing a service for people who need it. Instead, a third of a million American families declare bankruptcy per year due to medical costs and the American dream is exclusively packaged with no included healthcare.

Anyhow, you have to operate where you live and a little diligence while protecting your health goes a very long way. As does healthy eating and plenty of fun activity!
