For example I got a stomach bug that left me bed-ridden for about a day and a half. My wife took care of me during that time. Very shortly after recovering my wife caught the same bug, same symptoms, lasted longer. Germ theory would say I gave it to her. Terrain theory would say we probably ate something bad and came down with an illness. I think the truth is more like I was low on vitamin D since it was the winter, it was the holiday season, so I was eating unhealthy food, and that left me vulnerable to a disease, which I contracted, and then gave it to her.</p></blockquote><p></p>
