You are responsible for your own illness

[Guest guest]

That's what we get told, even though the illness raged through the

community and didn't seem to care if it hit athletes or lazies, health

nuts or junk foodists.

Every time someone tells me they contributed to their own illness by

over-exercsing or failure to live a stress free life, or perhaps ate a

few too many twinkies, I can't help but wonder " Don't they see that

it hit others who took the best possible care of themselves?

The illness just plain didn't care! "

The fundamental basis of research denial is that there is nothing to

research since the illness results from your own failure to take

responsibility for your health.

If the illness could not be avoided, controlled or cured in those who

were ALWAYS monitoring these " factors " then how relevant are they?

Dr Cheney and Dr could see that these were not significant

factors in acquisition, perpetuation or resolution of the illness.

Why can't all CFSers see this?
