There is a big move in medicine to blame genetics for medical issues. Doctors often point out that your mother or father had this or that disease or condition and this "puts you at risk".

Although I believe there is a genetic component to very few diseases and a genetic "influence" to a few more, this "idea" is grossly overused in an attempt to promote the concept that real cures are not available (how could they be if they're genetic) in order to manipulate people to accept the concept of life-long drug dependencies. This is called disease "management" and is very profitable for the pharmaceutical industry.

Relatives much more often than not share diseases and conditions because of similarities in behavior, thinking and eating patterns which, in part, could be blamed on genetics (which is why I used the word "influence" above) but not at all in the way it is being used in medical circles today.

I believe this recent "trend" toward blaming diseases on genetics is just the latest misinformation being used to combat the fact that huge numbers of people are discovering real health and cures via detox (which includes removing mercury-based fillings), alternative therapies and herbal/nutritional supplements.

Working in the political arena (I was not a politician) for a while and conducting a lot of research helped me realize the incredible trouble companies and organizations go through in order to manipulate peoples beliefs, which translates into manipulating peoples behavior, which translates into profits. Belief/behavior manipulation is an industry within itself.

Healthy people make a healthy family make a health nation make a healthy world. We're all better off when those around us are healthy. You might say I'm pro-health.
