Thanks for the balance and calm of this article. We are a long way from being able to factor in all the variables; some huge and so potentially pivotal. In the absence of all main variables virtually or absolutely all studies are merely correlations or associations-based theories. A theory is a theory. Ultimately subjective. Sleep, diet,…
Thanks for the balance and calm of this article. We are a long way from being able to factor in all the variables; some huge and so potentially pivotal. In the absence of all main variables virtually or absolutely all studies are merely correlations or associations-based theories. A theory is a theory. Ultimately subjective. Sleep, diet, personality, resilience, genetic and environmental propensity to addictions and other mental/bodily and spiritual dynamics inflammation and consciousness (individual, family, and collective, culturally, etc) are all significant unknown variables. Fear of death and other fearful concerns are huge factors in responses to illnesses and treatments, and there seems strong evidence for the power of the mind to help or weaken health. Diet and exercise are massively significant in this, and which remain outside of medical considerations and theorising. IMHO the priority responsibility, given what was known very early in the pandemic, should have been children and young people. It remains shameful and perhaps negligent to the point of criminality that children and young people have been treated so much worse than adults in the past two and a half years, and actually in the several generations prior too. Money and economic/political power are the prizes that governments and billionaires play for. People and children are collateral damage, and we delude ourselves in believing there's any other attitude among the 'leaders' of our political and institutional systems. Nick Duffell's profound work ('Wounded Leaders' etc) explained and predicted much of what is happening now, as does that of Professor Tim Noakes and Nina Teicholz, experts on diet, nutrition and our evolved ways to be healthy and have naturally strong immune systems. Pharma and modern medicine is very clever at fixing acute health problems (although not Covid-19). Pharma and modern medicine is terribly bad and counter-productive in curing chronic illnesses of the mind and body. LowcarbFreshwell.co.uk is an easy introduction to the points I'm making. Sadly we've not educated people, especially medical doctors, about health properly for 70 years, and the truths about addictions, traumas and microbiome, and connectedness to nature, are only now being rediscovered, after centuries of forgetting.
