Healing Without Drugs

[dairyfreelife]

Lori once again blogs and proves she has a hard time with logical thinking.

I never immunized my children. They never had asthma or allergies. I rarely gave them any drugs. They had strong immune systems. One man that was at my home today said that three of his four children have really bad asthma. I asked him if they were immunized. He told me they were.

I don't know, but it seems all these vaccinations, drugs, and antibiotics are wreaking havoc with the immune system. They destroy the friendly flora in the gut and that leads to all kinds of disease. When I was growing up, no one had allergies, asthma, or autoimmune diseases.

I have a rather strong immune system as well. We all have strong immune systems in my family, yet we were all vaccinated with what was available. My sister, mother and brother all got the swine flu and my mom and sister both had the flu shot last fall since they work in a hospital.

Btw, I don't buy that no one had autoimmune diseases when Lori was growing up because many autoimmune diseases have been around for a long time. Addison's, Celiac, Lupus, MS, etc. Addison's has been known since the mid 1800s. Celiac is believed to be inherited/genetic and people with certain genetic conditions like Downs or Turners are more likely to have it. Lupus descriptions have been known for centuries, well before antibiotics and vaccines were even a possibility.

So, plenty on here know far more than I do in the science and health fields so have at Lori's post.

I didn't find this in a search. Oh, well. Guess it can be merged.

Autoimmune diseases in the 19th century were usually called neurasthenia. If you look it up, they were incredibly common.

Celiac is believed to be inherited/genetic

There's some evidence coming out that the genetic modification of our wheat supply may be partially, of not mostly, to blame. If it's modified in such a way that bodies have a hard time processing what it isn't meant to and sees something as an invader, well, it makes sense.
