>>While I can agree with this *in part*, I've always
found this explanation to be far to simplistic... Not *all*
bacterial or viral events can be explained by an
imbalanced metabolism - unless you can believe that an
entire population can exhibit a specific flaw that
allows an infection to "take hold" (measles and
smallpox in the new world).

My response:
In the 1930s when Dr. Weston Price was traveling around the world studying
and living with native populations isolated from the "foods of commerce," he
found an amazing thing.  There was not a single case of tuberculosis among
the people in the mountain villages in Switzerland, who were eating their
native diets.  They had not access to sugar, white flour, canned, or other
processed foods.  At that time, tuberculous was rampant among the people in
rest of Switzerland and Europe.  These people had exceptional immunity
against dental and infectious diseases.  Price found this among 12 other
native population groups eating primitive diets.

Have you read Price's book?  It is truly amazing.  You can get a video of
Price's work from the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation.  It's quite
amazing.  They also sell a video by Francis Pottenger, MD.  He and his son
treated tuberculousis patients with a high fat diet, meats, organ meats, and
raw cream and butter in their sanatorium in California in the 1940s.
