About 130 years ago Queen Victoria still had many years left to rule, Stalin and Einstein were born, Edison invented the light bulb, and Sakhan Dosova was born. If Sakhan Dosova, of Kazakhstan, is really as old as she says she is, then she is the oldest person ever to have lived; beating an american who lived to be 114. Dosova claims that she has no secret to her long life. She has never been to the doctor. If she ever got sick, she would use "granny's remedies to cure [her]." Dosova also says that she has never eaten sweets. She doesn't like them. If she is telling the truth, Sakhan Dosova was of retirement age when world war two began. Thats amazing for a lady who never went to the doctor and lives in a cramped home in Kazakhstan. Still recovering from the negative publicity of the movie Borat, Kazakhstan is "checking the authenticity of the data on her case." I hope that it does turn out to be true. That would be some uplifting news for everyone to hear.
