Depressing topic but from the positive aspect many of us prolonged our lives
Our average expected life time increase with peace and developed medecine. But let's say we lived a few hundered years ago when there was no medicine to cure us and no surgery to heal a wound. Who would still be around? I would have died at age 37 cause by ileus. A piece of meat got stuck and my intestines tied a knot of themselves. This mainly could happen since I suffer from a chronis intestive inflammation that makes the passage narrow at one point. It would have been a painful death. I was hospitalized around 6-7 hours after the meal almost knocked silly by pain. Medicine took care of the pain and one other injection pushed the intestines in place (don't ask me how) Before all of this I had some bad pains from kidney stones which had to be removed by surgery. Wouldn't have killed me but the pain had me thinking it's be a quick way to stop it Anyone else earned a few years by modern medicine? Appendix anyone? -------------------- My bands homepage

it's true,
although most of modern illnesses are caused by modern living, I think indigenous people weren't as sick as we are because they lived quite armoniuosly with nature. Didn't eat garbage, didn't breath toxic smoke, didn't live confined, all those little things add up, good news is we can still make a little extra effort to re-connect to our healthy natural state, -------------------- Visit my:

I'd be dead. I have inherited emphysema and so would have died at some point from a pulmonary infection some years ago. Most likely time was 8 years ago - contracted double pneumonia, pluresy and chronic bronchitis all at the same time and nearly died then. Spent several weeks in intensive care and nearly a year recovering. Been a couple of other near misses since then though.
According to my old pulmonary consultant I still will die from emphysema, or related, before the so-called allotted 3 score and ten. As he put it rather succinctly, 'Don't make any plans on seeing your daughter graduate from University'. My daughter would have died in child birth or very shortly after. She spent the first 4 weeks of her life in the baby ICU and at one stage was on a ventilator. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Who knows how many would be around if we didn't take our vaccines when we are born and again many times in our childhood. Not to mention other complications that now a days seem un important but meant a real threat just a hundred years ago...
