My suggestions were lighthearted suggestions with an icon wink at the bottom. At no time did I say that drugs are not sometimes needed by certain chronic conditions.

About, "Winning some kind of competition." Do you really hate the thought that I'm healthy and doing well? The competition is with mother nature. And I tell people I'm drug-free since I learned that more and more people claim to be healthy but forget to mention they are taking drugs.

You have had difficulties with your prostate, but didn't say if your doctor wanted to test you, or IF you told your doctor.
That's old "news". "Have had" is correct. Of course I told my doctor and no special test was recommended.

I am sure, because you eat a low fat plant based diet and your BMI is low that you are ahead of the game. That you are healthier than most of us. But I am also pretty sure that your doctor may want to smack you.
What ever gave you that idea? Perhaps you are "projecting". In other words, you are the one who wants to smack me.

Stubborn is a very difficult condition to overcome. I have it myself.
In my everyday life I consider myself to be easy going, not stubborn. Even when it comes to eating I'm willing to bend the rules just a little when I go out to eat once or twice a month.
