Background: My Polish wife comes from a family where everybody lives 90 to 100 years. Very healthy and long lived people.

Now, I am a Type 2 diabetic since age 15. For the past 3 years, my wife is suddenly diabetic. There is no diabetes in her entire extended family. Never have been, not ever.

Her sister was an RN nurse for thirty years before getting breast cancer and being forced to retire. Nobody in that extended family has ever had breast cancer.

This got me wondering about how one acquires a 'hereditary' disease. Is it really hereditary, diet, environmental or could it be from exposure? My mom was diabetic. Did I inherit it (common wisdom) or could it be transmissible? Nobody believes that one catches diabetes. Same with breast cancer. But what if we're wrong?

The nurse dealt with cancer patients for decades. I dealt with a diabetic mother my entire childhood. My wife dealt with me for 25 years. I am probably mistaken, but I do find these anomalies to be noteworthy.

So my question for all of you is: Do any of you ever see indications of diseases transmitted inexplicably to people by exposure? Keep in mind, everything most people believe about health comes from a (((possibly biased))) medical industry.

What say you?

Your situation poses an interesting thought. What if Type 2 diabetes could be transmitted and is not just a condition but a communicable disease. Crazier things have happened.

And cancer? MS and MD? We believe things. Progress is illusory, as today's certainties are tomorrows laughably disprovable assertions.

I'll run with this line of thought. We are naturally resistant to such things. Something in our environment is changing this, is it intentional or accidental?

(((intentional))) FTFY

Sad that we live in times where we can suspect this.

Might cancer be transmissible largely because it is caused by a fungus? I've looked into this for a few years. Check out this guy:

Breast cancer is caused by aluminum build up in deodorants. Your wife needs to stop using deodorant or get the non aluminum kind

Thank you for this! My wife and I are seniors and live remotely on a mountain with no neighbors. At our age, we do not find a need for deodorants.

I used to be a long haul trucker and one time I picked up a load of bauxite (aluminum oxide) from an Arkansas mining facility. Guess where I took it... to Colgate Palmolive. It's what makes white toothpastes bright white! Now there is a major source of dietary aluminum for you. Back then most toothpastes were white. Many still are.

How much toothpaste do people absorb and swallow in a lifetime! My Alzheimer kicks in just imagining the possibilities! ;-)
