I would bet a lot of it is stress-induced health issues from the medias ramping up this 'impending doom' rhetoric. The parent poster is referring to the germ vs terrain theory, which has some validity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_denialism

Those are often presented as being mutually exclusive (take the meds OR clean your environment) but they're not really. Viruses and germs can exist while simultaneously promoting proper life hygiene and healthy habits.

GTD became popular again in the recent years due to obese and overtly unhealthy people being pro-vaxx while people in the health and fitness industry remained healthier while mostly unvaxxed. At the end of the day, both theories have some validity, but germ theory is more profitable for bigpharma for obvious reasons.

it seems like not trusting science which I get but going too far. Like I can be feeling fine emotionally, spine is aligned and everything too, but then I might be standing next to a person that is sneezing or coughing then coincidentally I start feeling sick the next day. This has happened many times. And I've seen others saying they have similar expereinces. So that is like using the scientific method to confirm that yeah, something gets passed thru the air from people to people that causes sickness. This doesn't mean I want to take vaccines that use viruses nor DNA to willingly put that in my body.
