<<The fact that pathogens are present in "infectous
disease" doesn't mean they are responsible for it.
Instead of focusing on what is going to eat me once i
am dying or dead, I prefer to focus on what keep me
well alive to be able to smile at the sight of
vultures.>>

While I am not sure exactly where I stand on this
issue, as I have been thinking about it for only a
short time, I do know that (at least in the States),
we are definite germophobes.  Almost every soap,
cleanser, etc... is supposed to kill 99.99% of the
germs or is antibacterial or antifungal... you get the
picture.  There are now waterless hand cleaners that
will kill germs you come in contact with when there
isn't a convenient bathroom around to wash up in.  I
can't help but think that we have gone overboard in
this respect.  Yes, people have died from bacteria,
germs, diseases, etc., but isn't that part of life?
No one has said, at least that I know of, that we are
guaranteed a disease free, germ free life without
illness. You roll the dice and you take your chances.
There is no guarantee that eating a paleodiet will
save us from illness, it may increase our chance at
health, but it is no guarantee.
Just my rambling thoughts on the matter
