Delving into the subject of natural hygiene it is often said that there is no scientific proof that microorganisms cause disease of any sort. That a certain bacteria in greater concentrations is correlated with a certain disease instead indicates that a certain type of substance was in the body in excess which this bacteria consumes, in effect helping not hurting, by keeping this substance in check. I am kind of leaning toward agreement on that because since living more by natural hygiene ways I don't catch anything from anyone and the only time I experience any sort of symptoms is when I indulge in massive amounts of junk food and little sleep. This has been so for several years now. It's been over a decade since taking any sort of medication and that includes "natural remedies" too, none of that either.
Now it is also said that sometimes there are cleansing symptoms which occur when conditions are good enough for the body to finally get some real healing done from massive past abuses. For instance getting really sick out of no where after reaching new peaks of healthful living habits, and after the sickness passes feeling better than ever before. Since I haven't really improved my habits much, I am not really moving in that direction, so it would not be surprising I neither experience the symptoms of constantly degraded health, nor the symptoms of progressive healing. I made some progress and now I'm at a sort of comfortable standstill. Just thought I'd throw that in there since according to natural hygiene symptoms of disease are symptoms of the body healing from some offense to its functional integrity.
As for mold, granted I'm not the biggest fan of mold but if my blackberries have a tiny bit on them I don't mind. Actually I've found the tiny bits of fuzzy white mold that grow on berries has little if any taste or smell, but the molds growing on cooked foods are highly offensive, such as on bread. Basically with mold if I am not seeing it, smelling it or tasting it, I really could care less.
I do all sorts of things with my eating that would horrify people who are germaphobes
Ain't dead or sick yet buddy!
