Read an article awhile back that said that to a great degree we are killing ourselves with cleanliness and medication. The premise of the study was that all the antibacterial soaps, cleansers, etc keeping us so clean on the outside combine with all the mecicines being prescribed for every little sniffle keeping us clean on the inside our bodies were forgetting how to cope. Our bodies customarily would be exposed to small amounts of various bacterias, viruses, etc and building an immunity to these things a little at a time. Now with everything so clean our bodies don't have anything to respond to so they can't building the immunities needed from the small stuff, so when it gets hit with a big dose of bacteria, virus, or whatever it overloads our system and we get alot sicker than we should because that "immunity buffer" isn't there.
As for cancer and other diseases, I think it's a shame this country can waste billions of dollars on things that just don't matter instead of spending it on research that could help people who have them. Just my .02
My condolescenses to the family. I lost a Grandfather to cancer. He was diagnosed with it and passed less than 6 months later, so I know how hard it can be...
