Survival.... ( Archived) (164)

The lack of bacteria and dirt in our diet is the cause of many of our health problems today, especially the digestive ones. Crohn's Disease, colitis, diverticulitis, and celiac disease are at the highest levels ever because we've sanitized our food so much, and processed it so much, that our digestive tracts are dying...literally. The medical community advocates all of this anti-bacterial stuff, yet there are bacteria we need as part of our normal flora and fauna in our digestive tracts, and we're being deprived of them.

I miss well water, btw. I drink distilled water because here it's all city water, with pollutants that aren't natural and chlorine, so distilled is my best option. I eat organic foods to avoid the pesticides and hormones that are part of non-organic foods, and don't eat processed foods anymore, plus take supplements to support my immune and digestive systems.

Kudos to you for what you're doing for your immune system, Bentlee.

I don't know, but I remember that saying...and it's part of what kept us healthy. Now it's no longer true...the peck of dirt or the health benefits from it.

again

I know Ive had more than my peck. with all the vegies and fruit and such Ive eaten when out in the fields. There is nothing you can buy that tastes as good as stuff right out of the field.

Exactly, SF. If I'd known then what I know now, my sons would never have gotten all of those. And I refuse to get any more of them in my lifetime. We don't know the long term ramifications of them, but it has been proven that they cause harm to many.

Yes, but I seem to recall that you've had more than your share of pesticides, too. That outweighs the benefits from the dirt, my friend.

Thank you, SF. So do I, and I seem to recall the last time I had a flu bug or a cold was almost 2 years ago. I do know that when I do, they don't last long because I start immediately on vitamin C and echinacea. I usually wake up feeling better the next day.

The Devil don't sleep... God help us...
