Nesti, your statements sound like the banter of sandwich making tuckshop-ladies!

Go and study a university level course in immunology/infectious diseases/medicine and try again.

There is this rediculous notion in the modern medical world that the human body requires help. In accuality, the human body is very well balanced within the environment...both evolve in sympathy with the other, all plants and animals do this. Disease and viruses are not just the problem, they are also the 'Fitness Landscape' to which the immune system can combat, overcome and evolve from.

A species, any species, cannot evolve in harmony with the environment when there are other man-made factors influencing the cycle. You could argue that we are in fact making ourselves sicker not healthier.
