Terry, this is not a forum for health advice, but I am a great believer in food for health. The drug industry makes a motza out of our ailments.

We have long stopped eating anything that comes from a factory, including chocolate!), and as you may have read from one of my articles, I believe bone broth to be a wonder food, as do many others, including the truly wonderful doctors at Diet Doctor.

We had a similar experience to yours where my husband was referred to an opthalmologist, just to be sure. The only thing we felt was the lightening of our wallet. The receptionist told us he had to charge, because he had three children attending the best school in Canberra...the worng thing to say to a teacher...by whose judgement?

I think if all of us aging individuals were to be scanned, they would find 'something', and there would be specialist queues longer than McDonald's. Stay well Terry. You still have lots of living to do. Sending love and healing. :)
