In my humble opinion (IMHO), having tests that give numerically measurable results offer us the opportunity to make improvements and to see things going wrong before they actually go wrong.

For example, if I'm feeling really good then I have no need to have my blood pressure checked. A blood pressure device would be a waste of money.

But, if I do have it checked then there is an instrument available to explain that the reason I suddenly passed out is that my blood pressure got too low. Having a numerical history of what was normal for me suddenly becomes very important.

Yes, everyone might be put on Sinemet (not likely because it doesn't work for everyone) but I, for one, really enjoyed being able to fine tune my dosage over the past many years because I had a reliable statistic to tell me that it was optimum.

Thanks for your input!
