Not remotely true. Most chronic disease is diet related. Our food supply and diet are terrible. Eat more fruits and vegetables, less grains and in many cases less meat. Also, review the literature on internal parasites You'd be both grossed out and amazed.

No disagreement that modern medicine allows survival of people that would have otherwise died. I'm in no way saying I'm against western medicine.

However, there's just no doubt that changes in diet, exercise, lifestyles, agricultural practices, etc, have a huge impact on people's general health. I haven't actuality seen any studies comparing the two, but I'd be very surprised to see genetic issues being the bigger problem.

Good chat, BTW. Far too few of these on the internet.

I have no real data on the rise in autism, in terms of causality. I doubt that the rate of increase in autism in the general population can be explained away by modern medical treatments. The trendline should move much more slowly if this were the case.

Total hypothesis - again, I have no data on what might be causing autism. Anecdotal stories indicate some correlation between autism and Vitamin D and diet, but I have no real data on this. Unfortunately, there is little incentive for real scientific investigation of much of this. Drug companies prefer treatment to cures and free treatments, like changing diet or lifestyle have essentially no supporting studies.

Done and done - plant based and health conscious over here, yet have chronic pain I truly believe stems from vaccine injury.
