Recently a friend of mine lost his father to what was probably an entirely preventable illness. So I thought
I would use this as an opportunity to explain what I think is going on that has left my friend feeling so robbed this week.
Hopefully it will spur you into action if you’ve been taking shortcuts with your health in recent years, and

You see, the way I feel about this is that our wonderful, exciting, modern day world, is silently at war. It is not the kind of war that involves guns, tanks, or missiles.
No, this war is nothing so blatantly theatrical.
And yet the enemy is certainly there – unseen, silent, and stalking the people we know.
Workmates, friends, and even members of our own family.
This enemy creeps up to our doorstep every day, right underneath our very noses, and we do so little to discourage it.
That enemy is ‘modern chronic disease’ and it is proving to be more deadly than any conventional ‘war’ has ever been.
