My grandfather Ruben,(true story)smoked a pack of cigarettes without a filter all of his adult life and died at age 93...Isn't that saying something?[/

I understand your point about Sanchin, but to attribute Miyagi's death to his daily practice of sanchin is a bit of a stretch dont you think? Do you have evidence to support your assertion?
