I have wondered if there were a cause and effect with the amount of functioning bone marrow which could explain why there is a correlation between loss of functioning bone marrow and increasing age. At some point in life the resistance to the disease (in less bone marrow) is overcome by the power of the environmental influences. And, maybe my thoughts make no sense  .
