Our bodies really were a mystery to mankind for a very long time. To think at one time they used mercury to treat syphilis, a all out neurotoxin was once a medicine. Kind of scary. We are still learning year by year about how the body and genetics work, we still have a long way to go. In 100 years they will look back on our time and think we were witch doctors compared to what they will understand and have available!

It's sad we weren't given the ability to understand our bodies, but that wasn't important to survive a few thousand years ago I suppose! Most people were lucky to live until 30!

Great post as always!
