This. The rates of chronic fatigue, mental illness, dementia are all massively increasing, with increasing evidence linking them to persistent infections and gut dysbiosis, and nobody cares to fix it.

Seeing everyone scrambling to drag life out without doing anything about its quality is just absurd.

There's a topic called "blue zones" which examines regions where people live healthy dementia free for far longer than surrounding communities. it's not clear how much research is active, but it is an investigated topic.
