You cannot "afford" to not eat properly.

Being able to feed your children *now* takes priority over the future, when
the money is not available to buy organic.

How much is your health worth, more importantly your children?

I'm trying, I'm trying..... There is just too much to know and not nearly
enough time to lift for real info. That's why I asked if you just happen to
already know of a site I could get objective information from. I want to
know everthing, but I've come to the conclusion that I will die trying ;-)

Have you really never taken an anti-biotic?

Never.

Wow! Why? It's so odd these days to not have *ever* taken anti-biotics.

You should make sure doctors never prescribe them either, just to shut
you up, as many do.

"I don't know what it is, so have an antibiotic just in case"

Agreed, but scared mothers, with sick children, tend to listen to someone
who knows more about it than they do. That would be the "caring family
physician".

Well, of course, you get ill, but do you (if you are talking about
yourself)
suffer from new types of allergies that nobody in your family history
ever
suffered from?

No, thankfully.

Very good.

Is that not common sense?

Not every society sterilizes everything their babies touch and eat. They
build stronger immune systems because of it. I will admit, they also lose
more babies to disease, however, there species becomes stronger (survival of
the fitest and all) while we westerners are becoming weaker.

It's a priority today.

Why is washing hands before eating a priority today? We don't have more
germs, just less resistance to them. Most people today, in western
society, just consider it gross not to wash your hands insesently, not
thinking about the actual purpose. It has just become a societal standard.
I don't subscribe and I *almost* never get sick. It is a rare occasion
indeed, for me to be ill.

Did you bath almost daily?

Nope.

LOL :-)

Good point, but in reality I doubt there are many obsessively house
proud people about.

Not anymore, because the mother is out working nowadays. She used to have
more time to clean, and did.

With regard
to the use of highly toxic chemicals there is no doubt we should
beware.

Agreed. I believe there have been some chemicals banned because of their
toxicity. I'm not sure we can do without chemicals completely, though. I'm
not sure we could go back to farming the way we did 100 years ago and feed
the populations we have today. The use of those chemicals is what has made
agriculture able to keep up with the growing population, I believe.

I think the vast majority of us still adopt a basic hygiene
standard, many do not.

Absolutely, and our immune systems and future generations will suffer for
it.
