[ExI] diets

[William Flynn Wallace]

Spike, there is current knowledge that fat people have different flora from
average weight people, and yet they don't know what to do about - how to
feed them differently.  Male/female ditto.  racial differences,
national differences, and so on.

There is plenty of evidence that personality differences make prescribing
the same dose of a pill to everyone completely wrong.

The medical profession is extremely conservative.  Look at the history of
their finally accepting that microbes are important.  How many people died
before they started washing their hands?

Tests before treating a patient will include DNA, gut flora, personality
and who knows what else?
