Autism might just be corollary. In the past people got lobotomies if they acted outside what was considered normal. Now many of us consider gay conversion therapy to be barbaric. We’ve come a long way, and people can express themselves more freely than ever before.

Also many of us sit all the time, watch screens that give us an overload of culture and opinions, and eat up to 3 meals of sugar-infused foods fried in vegetable oils a day. It’s no surprise that gastric and colon cancers have risen. Inflammation is the name of the game - and our sugary, highly processed diets paired with long stretches of immobility compounds the damage.



Lobotomies existed for only a short period of time and were associated with the treatment of people acting out, not acting weird.
