It seems logical to me that

I wrote that, not William. :D
***** Oooops!!! Mea culpa!!
> "Use it or lose it", yes indeed!! "They" try to convince us to use their nasty vaccines using the theory that if we're exposed to a bit of something, it will "cure" us. Well, OK, I happen to apply that theory to the bugs, bacteria, etc., that Lysol, et al, tries to tell us will make us sick or kill us. Pfffft. And shouldn't all you people who eat raw meat be dead by now??? Hehehe.
Right. The entire concept of vaccination depends on the idea that an
immune system exposed to small amounts of infection will "learn to
defend itself." It follows that an immune system not exposed to any
quantity of infection will not learn anything. Who wants to have a dumb
immune system??
***** LOL.
As far as the antibacterials go, I heard a news report several years ago
in which a couple of doctors attacked the entire idea of antibacterial
soap saying that it was a farce perpetrated on the American consumer. To
paraphrase, they said that antibacterial soap only works if you clean
*everything* at a certain temperature for a certain minimum amount of
time. They also said that, in fact, if you used antibacterial soap in
any other way you were only killing the weakest of the germs and
assuring that the nastiest critters thrived. They further admonished the
viewers to avoid all antibacterial products and reserve their use for
places where they were really necessary, like hospitals.
***** Well, yeah. And the nastiest critters just mutate into nastier and stronger forms. Unfortunately, those two doctors haven't made a dent into the brainwashing most people have gotten.
> PS Last night, my hubby and a friend of ours was asking me how spinach and onions are getting the ecoli. I read something about that a while back, but forgot exactly what the deal was. If it's appropriate subject matter for this list, could someone re-inform me??? Seems to me that the farmers were using some kind of animal matter (in chemical form??) for pest-control, or something like that. ?????
I live and work very near to the part of Santa Barbara County, CA, where
the infected spinach was found. Others have mentioned the various
explanations that have been given. Personally, I don't worry about it
very much. The news reports always say that the persons most endangered
by this sort of contamination are small children, the elderly, and those
with compromised immune systems due to disease. Since everyone in my
household is young and healthy, and there are no children, I don't give
it a second thought. I can deal with some "flu like symptoms" if I have to.
***** Oh, I absolutely agree with you, Adam-not-William, hehehe. I am not worried about the ecoli...it was just one of those things that someone asks you and then it makes you curious, is all!! (About how it happened.) I told them the same thing you just said...If ya ain't real old, real young or real sick, ya don't gotta worry about it!!!
Love,
Bren
