Your post gave me a good laugh! I can recall a CO's visit where he was harping about how physically healthy Jehovah's people were (as a result of no smoking, excessive drinking, illicit sex, etc.) ... and when I looked around me I saw a virtual out-patient clinic. Most everyone had their own strange, chronic malady which gave definition to their existence.
One of the biggest herb/vitamin pushers (had her own business)in the congregation was an elder's wife. Even with the mega-therapy, she and her family were always sick! They had every cold, flu that blew through town. With the reverence she paid to her hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc., I swear she should have built a shrine to ill health.
One time I had the audacity to ask: "Sister ****, why is your family so sick when you take so many herbs, vitamins, and 'natural' treatments like coffee enemas?"
She patiently replied, "Can you imagine how sick we'd be if we didn't do this!"
Go figure.
