Theory About the Numbers

The numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. It is basic knowledge that any lost-ee will know that these sum up to 108. 108 is a very important number in my theory. 108 can be broken down into 10 8.

I believe that the sickness is the flashbacks, let me explain. Dharma staged the crash, and injected all of the survivors with the vaccine. Each of the survivors forget parts of their life, and they remember them in flashbacks.
