Exposure to the sun: natural
Squamous cell/ basal cell/ melanoma carcinomas of the skin: natural
Surgical excision of those lesions: not natural, but needed if those afflicted are to continue on with a natural life.
Caught too late: radiation therapy (not natural), chemo therapy (also not very natural), and even deeper wider surgery (not very natural at all)
Seems to me that the natural exposure to the sun that humans were designed for in their birthplace of civilization provided for vitamin D production as well as anti-microbial therapy, but also led to deformity and death.
Maybe natural diets also require un-natural interventions if humans are to survive well into their later decades.(ie coronary artery bypass graft surgery, stents, carotid artery clean-outs, just as are MOHs surgical procedures required to keep alive victims of naturally induced skin cancers, etc.
Just rambling because we seem to spend a lot of time trying to revert to "natural " ways despite evidence of the dangers they may bring.
