If we set foot in the house, we would be told to “go play outside”. As such, we must have been exposed to all kinds of things while running around outside, climbing trees, digging in dirt. We survived. It seems others agree.

Now I have a bunch of autoimmune disorders and I'm going to invade myself with helminths artificially to supress the incorrect auto-immune attacks. Though there should be a balance of course - may be it is not the best option to live in absolute anti-sanitary conditions, but there is no good in germ phobia as well I wish I was eating dirt when I was a child.

Thu, 17 Feb 2011 02:01:51 +0000 http://nourishedkitchen.com/?p=522#comment-1473 Yeh, but there's dirt-dirty and there's filthy-dirty. I agree with letting kids get dirty outdoors just playing in the yard. But I wouldn't let them dig through a city dumpster. My house was clean, not sterile, but quite clean. I have three grown children who are all healthy, slim and strong with great teeth, skin and hair. They were healthy as little kids, too. Surprisingly, they would get dirty outdoors, but their favorite thing to do was take a bath! When I myself was growing up, we had a neighbor boy who ate burnt matches. Musta needed the sulfur! And, BTW, it's Crohn's disease (in case anyone was trying to look up information regarding this disease), not Chron's. Yeh, but there’s dirt-dirty and there’s filthy-dirty.

I am going to knock on wood, but our boys are HEALTHY!! Even among their friends who get sick and are off of school, our boys continue to run amuck and say healthy. I won't say that hubby and I are the same, BUT ... other than some super high (genetically pre-disposed) cholesterol, we get the occasional cold and every few years one of us will get the flu.
