SCAMS AND OTHERS

Stephanie, I think with all the crap that's fed to our children (well not my children) today.........from the fast food industry  their immunity system is not in the best shape. 

There is another worrying factor and that is all these hand wipes, and antibacterial sprays they are pushing onto the market.

I believe wash your hands is a normal function (use the toilet 'etc') but if we do what  the marketing people want us to do (use their products) whats happening to the younger generation.

I mentioned this in an earlier post, The Swine Flu epidemic did not seem to infect people that were born in the Fortes and Fifties because we  already have the anti bodies................................We got Dirty.......................Frank

Too true  the " dettol brigade "  is nothing but a  commercially driven  thing .. and yes it does  shield  folk too much  from everyday germs  and an immune system that  does not get regularly challenged and learn to fight becomes a weak one .. as kids we played in  mud etc and  are today all hale and healthy ,, the  dreaded flu  tried  to get its claws into me  so many times this  season ,, all my colleagues  went down .. me  whenever i felt the telltale  symptoms  just slowed down , would go home early and  go sweat it out .. so afr untouched  John told me a story of  an  expat   woman in the Sudan  who was  fastidiously clean  , any veg or fruit were first soaked in  milton solution  before  being  consumed etc etc ... compared to most folk giving  fresh fruit or veg a cursory rinse   with fresh water ..  she died  of bad  dysentry more than likely   due to the fact that  she lost all the active  good bugs in her gut ... The dettol brigade also tell us that we " stink ' and that we need to use their soap to kill of  odour causing germs ,, now the skin is an organisim  that  also helps protect the body ,, strip it of its good bacteria  and yes  you not  protected with  the magical mantle that the advert shows .. I  personally do  not  use  soap on my body , bath  twice a day sometimes mostly with a bit of salt  in the water  or  a bit of vinegar ,, its a natural exfoliator and  mild natural deodorant , the only " soap " used is shampoo and condtioner  for the hair , cannot abide greasy hair ... the body takes care of itself if you allow it to .. nobody  has ever said I  smell strange .. in fact the minimum of cologne  just adds  freshness .. so yes my big thumbs down to the  " dettol brigade "

My Mandy never used Milton for Morgan's bottles etc. Washed in warm water and salt.
It did not affect her. I never thought you stank Sandy so whatever it is it works.
Damn... Poop.... curses.... I just knocked my full glass of wine over.

Klunk there goes another glass ... yes  salt and vinegar ...mother natures bounty ...  and  yes as for  swabbing the whole house floors and all with  dettol  as per the adverts ...  humbug ... basic hygiene  is all that s required ..  Of course i know i  dont stink thats cos i dont believe the adverts ...

Vinegar is an acidic liquid processed from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid. It also may come in a diluted form. The acetic acid concentration typically ranges from 4 to 8 percent by volume for table vinegar[1] (typically 5%) and higher concentrations for pickling (up to 18%). Natural vinegars also contain small amounts of tartaric acid, citric acid, and other acids. Vinegar has been used since ancient times and is an important element in European, Asian, and other cuisines.

There you go !! I got this from Wikipedia........I just thought it was for fish and chips....
