Modern diseases

Cancer
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide and deaths are projected to continue rising, with an estimated 12 million in 2030. The claim by the World Health Organization is that only 30% of cancer deaths can be prevented.
Cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the second biggest killer worldwide. Heart attacks and strokes make up the largest portion of CVD deaths and they are largely preventable.
Diabetes
Researchers have spend years looking for genes that cause diabetes, but there is increasing evidence that diabetes is really caused by viral infections. In particular type 1 diabetes was assumed to be genetic, but there is a fairly large amount of evidence that it is caused by viruses which may be linked to vaccines. The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing throughout the world, which cannot be explained by genetics.
