Everybody says that this disease and that disease can be prevented by... fill in the blank...

Sorry folks, there is no panacea to any disease. most diseases are hereditary in nature, in other words, you are born with a predilection to getting a specific disease whether it is cancer, diabetes, or in my own case, diverticulitis.

There are triggering mechanisms that can push the disease to the forefront, but generally the body takes care of those diseases with the immune system or by regulating hormones.

We know doodly squat about the human body and the trillions of things it does on a daily basis to regulate our lives, psyche, and mental outlook.
All the vegetables in the world won't stop diabetes or Hypertension if you are predisposed to getting it.

I just buried a good friend with two tours in Iraq from lung cancer, throat cancer and rapid onset bilateral pneumonia at the age of 52. He never smoked a cigarette or chewed tobacco in his life...

It was the pneumonia that killed him and I miss him a ton...

Godspeed Schneider John, Godspeed...
