“And then the question you can ask yourself – if you were not to age, would you get sick, would you get diseases? I’m arguing that you wouldn’t.
Now bad stuff can still happen, you can have mutations that cause disease – and cancer is one of those. But I think it’s important to realise that our bodies are capable of great healing, they are capable of killing cancer cells on their own (through the immune system) and that the breakdown of those processes, in the large part, is the reason why we get sick”
