I think that a LOT of diseases could be cured by proper diet and
exercise. Especially type 2 diabetes and the auto-immune diseases...I
think these are a direct result of the modern American lifestyle. If
everything crashes and people are forced to eat healthy food, walk and
do more physical labor, and can't find cigarettes and alcohol, a lot of
people would be better off might not need medications.
