<< So I wonder if the problem was due to the immaturity of the baby.  The
 truth is adults can eat many things that infants would get ill on,
 microwaved or not.

--According to the Natural Hygiene philosophy, a baby at birth is the
healthiest it will ever be.
Following are some excerpts from an article on the subject quoting Dr. Frank
Sabatino, an expert in diet and nutrtion, Director of the Wellness Program
at Regency Health Resort in Hallandale, FL, specialist in Gerontology and
Aging, PhD in Neuro-endocrinology, MS in Neurobiology and Cell Biology from
Emory Uni School of Medicine, and a Doctor of Chiropractic with a specialty in
Kinesiology:

"As a father of five, Sabatino knows first hand the challenges and pleasures
of parenthood. Babies come into life at the height of their wellness
potential, Sabatino points out, and their bodies will do all in their power
to mainatain that state.

"If we expose that child to problems with diet or climate or emotion, this
dynamic child will respond with all of the forece of creation to try to
restore itself and we don't want to interfere with that process."

Sabatino said we have to rethink our attitudes about trying to interfere
with the body's natural ability to reject that which is theatening its integrity.

"The infant might produce a high fever, diarrhea, vomiting or whatever it
can as powerfully and as quickly as possible. This is why children have the
acute diseases of childhood. They have a much more powerful and acute voice for
self preservation and will work much more forecefully to restore themselves."

Applying such things as cold clothes, ice, aspirin or other medication,
points out Sabatino, depresses the body's natural ability to heal itself and forces
that body to expand the range of sensitivity to toxemia.

"I contend that this early interference with the dynamic health of children
drives those children into the adults with chronic diseases that we see
around us."

Or perhaps because we eat relatively small amounts
 of microwaved food (hopefully) then it doesn't injure us as adults.  You
 would think that if it were really dangerous it wouldn't be common but
 then tobacco, alcohol, sugar and a myriad of other common items are
 generally bad for human health.

--On the other hand, Dr. Sabatino points out, adults have insulted their
body's integrity so long and so often their body's no longer have the
vitality to reject the offender. And the process is cumulative. The result is chronic
disease(s): asthma, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease,
cancer,
etc.
