Thread: straight razor use can lead to more disease

Bah, you only live once, why drag it out?

Surely you don't want to live forever, do you?

Antibacterial goo was mentioned earlier and I thought this was interesting...

Ever read the bottle? Says kills 99.9% of Germs right? Let's do a little math for laughs...

You have 2000 individual germs on your hands. You slap a little bit of that goo on your hands thinking I'm going to be really healthy because I'm killing germs right?

So now you have killed 99.9% of the germs which leaves you with 2 germs on your hands that the goo isn't capable of killing. These super-bugs continue to exist on your hands but NOW they have the added bonus of being COMPLETELY FREE OF COMPETITION

Now they are enjoying completely unfettered access to nutrients and environmental stimuli and will be able to reproduce at a maddening pace creating a veritable ARMY of germs that we already know are immune to the goo!!! And that's why I don't do "anti-bacterial"...want to live healthier? Eat dirt

Some may laugh at this but studies are being done by raw foodists that are suggesting that many common "weeds" may be healthier for you than much of the hydroponically grown produce out there on the market today (and certainly healthier than the chemically enhanced livestock). Weeds live in some of the dirtiest, most difficult to survive conditions.

Weeds have had to adapt to harsh environments and unforgiving human distruction. There are many weeds that are down right poisonous but there are quite a few that have all the nutrients required to survive and live a healthy life. Ever at risk of being stranded in the wilderness or desert? make sure you know your local plant life. It could be what makes the difference between surviving and perishing.

Let me tell you when you've been in the bush with no fresh food for days a little dandelion salad is a wondeful thing. Dandelion leaves are at their best early in the season before they get bitter. HEY, that's now!

In my medical studies, guess what was cited as the easiest way to get germs - a handshake. It was far worse than doornobs and toilet seats. If there are no open cuts, there shouldn't be a problem with stroking your face. That's what the skin is there for - to protect us from germs. The skin is our largest organ for a reason!!!

Just food for thought.
