It is like autism, ADHD, and the like. Used to be chalked up to a hyper kid, now it has a diagnosed name.

Same with gluten intolerance. Used to be called, I ate too many doughnuts, and feel plugged, to becoming a diagnosed issue.


We now diagnose everything, people freely go to the doctor when they have a slight upset tummy, a light headache, or a sore toe.

Our grandparents self diagnosed and self treated, and life went on.

With ADHD in the old days, you swatted the kids arses to keep them in line. Now you diagnose 'em, and drug 'em.

With gluten intolerance in the old days, you ate fresh garden produce, lots of animal fats, and raw milk and such, perhaps this was more balanced somehow? Now, you cut out 3/4 of your potential dietary intake, eat bland potato bread, avoid soy sauce, and a schwack of other stuff.

My gluten intolerant sister stayed here for four days, I know of what I speak! lol It is a very interesting phenomenon.

I agree freewheat. Lots of people don't want to get their kids immunized, its all a drug company conspiracy. what do we end up with? Measle and chicken pox outbreaks. Misinformed people!

I agreed its most of Freewheats points. In the old days mortality was more frequent and accepted/tolerated. There were many accidents, infections, diseases without a name and unfortunately people died. We would attend the funerals and then life goes on, March forward.
There were many hyper, odd behaved kids, as described a foot in ass, or go outside etc. some went to jail some became brilliant millionaires. I noticed everything has a diagnosis. ADHD, cancers of all kinds, intolerances, allergies etc.
Like Freewheat says , society hascompletely moved away from home grown garden produce and animal byproducts to the garbage in the stores and fast food chains.
I recall my sister throwing up French fries after a day in the city. I remember as an 8 year old helping myself to a third doughnut, spinning around some small town community event going nutso behaviour on the sugar, then crashing, sore stomach and exhaustion for hours! Parents never booked a doctor, they said layoff the donuts, you don't eat like that when your at home, that's what you get. The end.
I have a beer intolerance, it's getting worse over the years, I don't know if it's the 13th or 14th beer, but I get pretty sick.
