I read the whole story and what amazes me the most is how they survived without medical care.....I mean, to live that long with no serious illness or injury.

I can see not being exposed to any contagious diseases due to their isolation but what gets me is how they went so long without injury specially due to the terrain they lived in. I guess too being isolated from many of the modern toxins they didn't get any cancers too...

Pretty amazing story all around....
