I am very sorry too for your loss, Coney Island. I have wondered many times how you were doing.


To answer the question posed here.

My opinion is that the cause of disease is

Germs, Genetics and Happenings.

Germs, In the sense that microorganisms, bacteria, viruses etc. invade the body.

Genetics. A predisposition of the body to malfunction in it's fight against disease or to program the body to be vulnerable to certain diseases or conditions such as cancer, arthritis, skeletal changes etc.

Happenings.. A ski accident, an automobile accident or even marrying a person who gives you stress can change your bodies response to
disease.

Then of course how we maintain our body is important too to keep it in a good working order. And this probably will cause the most discussion and variety of thinking. We all have choices to make to take care of ourselves and to seek and find the best medical advice. How and who is often debated.
