We Have To Think For Ourselves
by Burt Goulding Jr.

It is the only way to get better. Don't let anyone tell you what you have to think, or have to believe, or have to do. If it doesn't make sense, don't do it. We shouldn't let "experts" or their "proofs" scare us into harming ourselves, or scare us into not doing something good for ourselves.

If a doctor or a psychic or an expert tells you are going to die, GET A SECOND OPINION or even a third opinion. And trust your own opinion above all others. You know a lot more than you think you do!

My wife has a good friend whose grandfather proves this point very well. At age 83 his doctor told him he needed to have coronary bypass surgery or he was going to die. But no amount of urgent scolding or pleading could convince him to go under the knife. He said that he had lived a good, long life. And he was prepared to pass on, if it was his time. He continued to live his life without fear or anxiety for another 12 years WITHOUT major health problems. He was willing to believe his own feelings over the expert voice of doom. (As a side note, his doctor was NOT necessarily happy for his good fortune when he came in to see him for well visits year after year.)

I hope that we can all do likewise. Refuse to believe that our case is hopeless. And don't surrender your freedom to make your own health decisions.
