Illness is largely a function of overall health. As a society, we generally lead very unhealthy lives: eating mountains of processed food, working too much, sitting indoors and staring at screens. We have a failed concept of the nuclear family, which means very little support with child-rearing, and soaring costs around everything involving the home and family.
All of this stacks the deck against the majority of Americans.
Is it any wonder our bodies cannot fight off disease naturally?
When you also add in that we have an absurd fear of illness and death, our behaviors get more and more neurotic, which then adds to the stress, which then further compromises our health.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y ago> Is it any wonder our bodies cannot fight off disease naturally? You need to prove that we could previously. The various plagues and epidemics (Athens, Antonine, and Black to namea few) are excellent proof that returning to unprocessed food won't much help. > When you also add in that we have an absurd fear of illness and death The Momento Mori rose in response to the Black Plague, so that's not new either.
