That Big Pharma is somehow withholding a cure for cancer is just idiotic, in my opinion and ranks up there with the "moon hoax" conspiracy theories. Do you have any idea how much money a phama company could make selling a cure for cancer? |
Lance was AS FIT as a guy in his early 20's could possibly be. Fitness is just a part of health. You can be fit and not healthy, but you can't be healthy and not fit. Do not confuse fitness with health.
Small children are no different. They get diseases because the proper conditions for health aren't met. Being healthy is like growing a plant. When you provide the proper conditions for health, health happens. When you provide the proper conditions for plant growth (proper amount of sunlight, proper amount of water..etc.) growth happens.
There's many conditions and variables for creating health. Disease happens when those aren't met. There's much confusion about what the proper variables are for creating health, especially in the field of diet and nutrition.
