There may be many ways of judging health, and the CDC offers a Measuring Health analysis by Michael Wolfson from University Ottawa, Canada. The Changes in Life Expectancy (LE) and Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE by Cause ) Canada, list the top ten causes of death: ischemic heart disease, lung cancer, breast cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colorectal cancer, diabetes, melanoma, osteoarthritis, and mental disorders. The most common one for both men and women is heart disease, and the most common measure for pre-death symptoms is blood pressure. Therefore, I have chosen blood pressure to measure the health component of the happy, healthy, wise, and wealthy measurable human well-being analysis.

The physical problems are the primary factors in Life Expectancy, and those are generally similar to the Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy by Cause except for Osteoarthritis and mental disorders. The main difference is that osteoarthritis has a more significant impact on the quality of life than cardiovascular disease, and mental illness falls between those two leaders in human misery. Unfortunately, measuring a human being’s endeavors of happy, healthy, wise, and wealthy didn’t include arthritis as a factor in my original thoughts. But perhaps it must now be considered at least mentioned because if one is stricken with pain every time they move, it will adversely affect all of those other aspirations.

Being eighty-six years old, I have had some arthritis problems. Still, when I realized several years ago that it was an inflammation process, much like poison-oak, I could cure myself, using the methods I developed for coping with poison oak’s inflammatory itching. Now that I realize it is so significant for humanity’s comfort, I will publish it when time becomes available. Unfortunately, it will probably go over like my inhibiting Covid transmission with washing one’s face and nostrils as well as their hands as a way of preventing the spread of that disease.

I put my efforts into helping humanity because it helps me feel better about not living forever.
