Yeah, I'm not sure if it's such an epidemic more than it was before. I mean, overall our life expectancies are getting longer. Isn't it possible that back in the "old days", the doctors didn't know what cancer was and just as many people died from it?

There are many theories about what long ago illnesses actually were. I read an awesome book by Robin Cook referring back to the Salem witch trials. This doctor found some seeds of some sort that grew naturally in that area and apparently has a hallucinagenic effect. Apparently in this area, they suspected it got into the bread.

The doctor also discovers that after he takes a small sample of the seed, once the hallucinations have passed, that his mind is more clear than ever before... he can remember things he'd thought he'd forgotten. So he gets funding to try and remove the hallicination and isolate the memory enhancement part of the cell structure. It's a fascinating read. It's called Acceptable Risk. Smile


I'm the bawss.
