-The mainstream, but antiquated, view about chronic disease is best expressed by a certain physician thusly: "Of our thousand bacterial species, I only have to worry about a couple dozen." However, there is substantial evidence that chronic diseases are caused by pathogens as opposed to [[home:alternate|other causes]]. This evidence includes:

 In addition, it seems highly likely that supposedly non-infectious chronic diseases are in fact caused by pathogens when one considers their clinical features, histology, treatment response, microbe populations, presence of co-infections, the ease with which co-infections proliferate, and the failure of systematic lifestyle interventions.
-According to the [[home::pathogenesis|Marshall Pathogenesis]], humans accumulate a plethora of pathogenic bacteria during their lifetimes, and it is the genetic mutations which result from active infection that play a major role in what is commonly thought of as “genetic susceptibility.”

 Besides the [[home:alternate:genetic_predisposition|absence of proof implicating human genes as the major causative factor]], there is a range of evidence - including strong epidemiological and compelling evolutionary evidence - suggesting that pathogens cause chronic diseases.
