I knew enough to get the PSA test after age 55, something that you
neglected
to do to your great disadvantage.
I got PSA tests every year form age 45 through age 56, but


unfortunately neglected to do so after that, much to my disadvantage.
Now, I have to deal with what is on my plate as a direct result, but
you shouldn't confuse knowledge with exercise of common sense or the
penalty for neglect (pick one). * It is at this stage when knowledge
can make all the difference, something that you fail to acknowledge,
but what what do you know anyway?

Very strange that you did not have some warning from those early PSA tests.
I will bet the readings were boderline high.


The thing is that the current thought is the what is borderline has
change over time from 4 to 2.5, but one have cancer cells with a low
PSA or a have a high PSA and not have cancer cell in the prostate. As
concerns the numbers, I no longer remember what they were.

We only have to know a smattering of something about a few things to get
along successfully in life.
Once again you assume that you speak for the masses ... everyone in


fact. *Although you are all about opinion, you never qualify anything
that you say by stipulating that it is your opinion, but prefer to
proffer your opinion as though fact, but you, and everyone else that
has every read what you wrote, already know that.

Nope, I am not interested in facts unless they bear directly on something I
want to know.


But you have often said that you know all that there is worth knowing.

Once I know what someone's opinion is on a subject, that is
sufficient for me to categorize him.


What's your point?

Facts are almost always irrelevant to the process.


Facts being irrelevant to the to process is not a fact, but rather an
opinion.

Mostly, it is what our mothers told us we should
do or not do as kids. The complicated life is not worth living.
Tis a pity that your sum total store knowledge is limited to early


childhood advice from mom merely because life became just too
complicated for you and just not worth it. *That is telling and speaks
volume about you.

Hells Bells, life is too complicated for all of us. Our evolution did not
prepare us for much complication. It was mostly fight or flight. No wonder
so many of us are ending up in mental hospitals and/or having to take
anti-depressant medications.


Diversion duly noted. Yes life is complicated, but complications in
life should not stem pursuit of knowledge. Reflecting back on the
original topic of conversation, I presented you with facts regarding
the FDA, nutrition, etc. as currently known and you presumptuously
dismissed all that I presented as voodoo science as if you know more
that the various professionals whose findings I cited. You merely
dismissed the evidence rather than debate the issues. Granted,
additional study remains to be done to arrive at definitive answers,
but what is known should not be summarily dismissed when what is known
could prove of benefit. You argued with me when in fact I was just
the messenger. It was your prerogative to have seized the opportunity
to embarrass yourself and dismiss the experts, their findings and what
is currently known and you did that very well.
