clean water, good sanitation, immunizations, yes.....

immunizations are not Western medicine?

clean water and sanitation are also obviously products of the Germ Theory of Disease, i.e., Western medicine.

"The germ theory of disease is the single most important contribution by the science of microbiology to the general welfare of the world's people, perhaps the single most important contribution of any modern scientific discipline. It also is the single most important contribution to the practice of modern medicine, essentially defining the term with the invention of antimicrobial chemotherapeutics."

so, i don't agree with your belief that there's not much evidence at all for that hypothesis... i already mentioned diet myself--obviously we have a terrible diet in the West, compounded by sedentary lifestyles. fortunately it is fairly straightforward to change one's diet and physical activity level.
