Let me begin by saying that you were designed (through evolution combined with some form of intelligent design and/or by the Creator) to be healthy, to have abundant energy, and to live a long and highly productive life. You were not designed to need drugs, especially in the quantities we take them today, or surgery, except in times of emergency. The only reasons you should ever need medication or surgery are if you are involved in an accident or if your immune system has been weakened and you contract a communicable disease.
Why then have we become so dependent upon drugs, surgery, and other debilitating treatments? The answer, very simply, is this: We are sick because Nature never intended for us to eat the foods we are eating today. When looked at from the perspective of human evolution, the diet we are eating – loaded with fat, cholesterol, animal protein, processed foods, and artificial ingredients – is a bizarre anomaly. It is unlike anything we ate during our four million years of evolution. Our blood, arteries, and cells were not designed to live under all that fat and cholesterol that covers them today. Our intestines were not intended to work in the absence of fiber and clogged with flesh. Our immune system was not meant to function under the burden of a thrice-daily load of fat, without an abundant supply of plant-based nutrients and phytochemicals.
With our cells drowning in fat, cholesterol, animal proteins, and artificial chemicals, and our immune systems deprived of what they need to maintain health, it's no wonder so many of us get cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, adult-onset diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, and other age-related illnesses. In fact, it is a testament to the strengths of the human body that anyone has the slightest semblance of health.
