Re: at a disheartening loss for words
There are pathogens/ microbes/ bacteria/ viruses/
parasites that
can be inherited from birth. There are some studies that mention that
"Hereditary" may mean passing on pathogens that can lay dormant in
one person but not in others. I just watched a program last night on
the deadly bacteria spread in hospitals where they could not locate the source
of infection, later to find it lays dormant in some humans.
I'm sorry for your loss 176675...My mother died from Postpartum
Depression that evolved into Schizophrenia, a few years later
while on experimental drugs she chose to commit suicide.
I wonder if genetically whatever is passed to a child can leave a burden
on the immune system or weaken resistance to stress/acidity etc..
I have always had a strong immune system but fascinating topic.
