Great post trapper... I agree, but...
"one cure cures all and the cure is to obey nature."
I believe this with all my being.
"this is why thinking that a person can mix any kind of concoction and ingest it and improve their condition is absurd beyond belief"
In the context presented eating and drinking at all is absurd.
"so what changed to make all of this come to be? the errors in the genes that were passed from the the parents and the diet."
Yes, no question.
"the bottom line is this: there is no way we need to put more crap in our bodies. what we need to do is to fast and let all of that stuff we have packed into ourselves escape by whatever means we can. and baby, there's a lot of it. many are like me with over 40 years of accumulations. as the body adjusts and the morbid matters come out, little crisis' rear their heads, sometimes from old toxins, sometimes from imbalances created by the losses. but all must come out or be stored and continue to damage until our appointed time. we do what we must do to get through these times, but to adopt a policy of ongoing poisoning of the body? not me, i know better now."
Yes, this goes hand in hand with much alternative health thought. However, we can choose not to ingest poisons through the mouth, but through skin and with breath, we have no choice. That decision has been made for us by our ancestors.
Okay, in a "perfect" world we are breatharians... but we do not live in a perfect world and we are FAR (thousands, millions, billions? of years) removed from it. How do we get there (back to Eden) from here?
Baby steps, and I believe going backwards in time to improve our health. A healthy relationship with the other living organisms on the planet, both internal and external, AND by reestablishing a mineral balance in our bodies; which by the way is, I believe, responsible for exponential growth of disease and death. This will at least help to get our spirit, bodies, and minds firing on most (not there yet) cylinders again.
The following links illustrates that soil mineral depletion evidence exists everywhere, including the food we eat and we are SO far away from Eden that becoming a breatharian for almost everyone would be a death/life (death is a rebirth) sentence... Alternative? We have to find our way there and work back to it.

Some are sure that the evidence suggests that the minerals, in the form of our societal waste and soil run off are washing into the oceans and lakes upsetting the balance and killing the life in them. Is this what will propel us into a new cycle? Maybe.
I am convinced that mineral imbalaces are primarily responsible for the exponential degredation of health over the last few centruies. We were not any where near Eden two centries ago, and are further from it now.
Granted, the mind Can do anything, but most of us, myself included needs to recondition its previously, conventionally, public educated, social conditioned brain of mine.
I would like to think that I can get there from here. How do we accelerate the process?
What you have said correlates to, not only the Bible but, the Maya Calendar from beginning to 2012...
