I don't think people have control over the things the body can't take.
Well it's not like you think hey I have this disease and then you start having symptoms, it's a lot more complex than that. A lot of people don't have control over their mind's effects on their body. The mind is a very powerful thing man.

I've just met too many people who totally have the disorder who describe all the symptoms for me to just take that statement on its face.
