There’s some evidence that allergies are more common nowadays because of more limited childhood exposure to " bugs ". Active immunity can be acquired by natural disease and by vaccination. The two mechanisms complement each other – it’s not possible or desirable to become immune " naturally " to every disease, as some ( like rabies and hepatitis B ) are too serious. Immunity is explained in this thread :-

I know of no good evidence that kidney stones are caused by local water issues, either " hard " or " soft " water. Most stones contain calcium, and are commoner in men than women. The main cause is INSUFFICIENT water – when the urine is concentrated, so they more commonly form in dehydration, warm climates, or at high altitude. The precise mechanism why they form is actually not known – except in a small number of cases where there is an underlying medical condition, as a side-effect of medicines, and there may be a family history. There is more information here :-
