He was on Larry King last evening (CNN). He mentions what you talk about Sharon. Life expectancy rise is proportionate to the life style that one has adopted. In other words all the bandaids in the world can't help a gaping wound if the under lying cause of the bleed is not stopped. For us that is the need for a strong focus on prevention rather than intervention. We in the US have the best strategies for intervention...be they costly and very exclusive. A primary focus in health care reform should be prevention.
It really is a great interview with Dr Weil and well worth watching online via CNN. We do need to start health care reform and now is the time for it. We need to become informed in order to become a part of the change that keeps what works now in partnership with new strategies that will allow health care access to all.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
