BTW, my dad was not just an isolated case, his whole family lived well into their 90s.

Nope, he walked down to the pond and got a snapping turtle.......had him bite the wound shut, and cut the turtles head off.......took the turtle home and made some natural soup which sped up the healing, and for a week he made incredible sales as folks had to see Davy Crockett's turtle stitch.........we don't need no stinking doctors or the medicine they rode in on........a turtle stitch and a bowl of turtle soup......priceless.
