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?

Interesting idea, but too many variables. Could be issues caused by diet, environment, a bit of both, etc.

I'm autistic, (Asperger) so I see things a bit differently. I ponder the imponderables and often come to oddball conclusions. It's how I roll.

Nobody I have ever heard about has ever made this medical observation. I just threw it out to see if anybody finds it happening in their world.

(Am expecting the usual "fake and gay" retorts. I get a lot of that.)

I mean it's possible, but it's much more likely something in our Western diets just like the occasional soda could be the cause. There's no telling what kind of substances we could be ingesting from people that run the various food and drink industries with bad intentions and ill-will towards humanity and the West.

Man, you really get it. If only drinking sodas was our biggest concern! I'd swim in it!

Lol Dr McDougall's entire schtick is just that

Never heard of him, but I will certainly look into him and his ideas. Thank you for this!

look into the "Terran" theory in virology

illness is not what you think it is

Edit: might be terrain theory, i've always seen it as terran but you know people and fucking speling these days

It’s “Terrain Theory” the gist of it is that you can’t catch a virus for the same reason that if I had cancer you couldn’t “catch” it from me because it’s an autoimmune disease.

Viruses are an autoimmune response of the body

Yes, Terrain. I've read about it here on Poal. Poal is such a treasure. I find some great people and information here.
