Villages Pl. The survey was to get information on topics that were of interest to USF. The survey was not designed to get information that was of interest to you.

You have stated you take no medication, which is nice and extremely unusual but that doesn't mean you are in better health than those of us who take medications.

You try to make wise choices for a healthy diet and to have enough exercise and that is very good. But many people have done the same and because of the genetic hand they were dealt or being in a situation where they were exposed to something, they developed illness.

I think you are a wonderful person, and a caring person and a person that I would want to know, but there are other ways to look at health in general and perhaps USF is doing just that, and perhaps they aren't.

I don't have a huge medical background or one in research, but the survey seems to me to be a good first step in gaining information from this very interesting group of grown up people. It is a LARGE group of people over 55 who are largely able to care for themselves and have the means to do so, which makes it an interesting demographic.

I can see how much this whole issue means to you and I think it is heading in the very direction you would hope, eventually anyway.
