Hi Dave. I enjoy your posts on the HIT digest.

I think we may be agruing a matter of degrees here. I
agree wholeheartedly that the "garbage state" we put
our bodies in provides the environment for viruses and
germs to proliferate. I would argue, however, that
viruses and germs will take advantage of that
environment to do what we all try to do - survive and
reproduce. And that at some threshold - which is
probably pretty variable - they (germs and viruses)
will become more aggressive than the host can handle.
(Strength in numbers - no?)

Yes, they are indeed.

If that were the case, then plagues would not come and
go in a short period of time, and would not be
traceable via a plague route. If it were just a matter
of hygiene, then most plagues should get worse rather
than stopping, since by all accounts living conditions
(hygiene) worsen after a plague has struck. No,
plagues, just like infectious diseases in herds of
wild animals, kill off the weak and frail.

Whoa. I was talking about "concious" thought. To me
what you are describing is "being", which is another
matter altogether.
