I'm wondering 🤔
It's my understanding that current medical research indicates all the chronic illnesses listed below (and there are more I simply don't know about) are triggered by a viral infection. They all have similar clusters of symptoms. Why are they being considered a separate illnesses/syndromes?
I think I need to understand more about viruses and our symbiotic relationships with them. I just found my copy of Lynn Margulis' "Acquiring Genomes: A Theory of the Origins of Species". I think I'll start there.
It seems to me we're in the midst of a viral tidal wave.
