That most ailments in the western world are ones of modernity: over-nutrition, over-medication, physical inactivity, excessive hygiene, lack of sunlight, non-ancestral diets and/or environments, environmental pollutants, etc, etc.

- agitator 8y agoI strongly agree with this. It irks me that doctors often prescribe drugs first without seeking to find the root cause of a problem. But I guess such is the culture these days. People want a quick fix without being told to change their lifestyles.
