Miri Anne Finch is knocking them out of the park lately so I will post another of her columns here where she hypothesizes the cause of the good health of those binge drinking, chain smoking types who, despite expert opinion, not just survive, but thrive!
"...we all generally have several "Keith Richards" figures in our lives, the types who drink like fish, smoke like chimneys, and strenuously avoid anything remotely strenuous - who never seem to develop serious health conditions, or at least, not until a grand old age.
So what is going on here? Are the proverbial Keith characters just freak anomalies of nature (even though there seem to be loads of them)? Are those who lead healthy lifestyles but get sick anyway just cursed with bad luck or bad genes?
Healthy self = heal thy self

What's really going on?"
