"I just want modern medicine to get its head out of its arse and deal with those things that ARE bacterial and viral..."
if "they" would do this "they" would find that it is all about environment, both internal and external AND not any one thing. It is not about killing or destroying bacteria and viri, it is about living in an environemnt, both internal and external that minimizes the proliferation and development of bad bacteria and viri. this requires clean insides and outsides, enough said.
"they" spend way to much time and an obscene amount of money arguing and fighting about this and that cause or relationship to disease all the while ignoring or worse oblivious to the obvious because there is no money in it...
