I see what you're saying, but if you think about it, why is it that Westernized cultures suffer the most? The are actually some places on earth that have never had the health problems and diseases that we get. The way that we (Westerners) live lowers our immunity to different things. Do you know that people can actually come in contact with HIV/AIDS and their body will fight it? ONLY people with high immunes systems though.

The food we eat, the things we drink affect us for the worse. I, for example, used to stay sick a lot. I finally got tired of it and totally changed the way I eat and the things I drink. I don't get sick like I used to, and I know that my body appreciates the changes I made, and it will fight things off for me.

Antibiotics... I feel 2 ways about it. They are good, but only to a point. The bad thing is it fights off good and bad bacteria both, so then it leaves your body with no defenses at all.

(I study medical journals and alternative medical journals for fun. )
