    Default Livestock in the yard may help baby’s immune system

    I've long been a believer that a little dirt and muck is good for kids. They need some exposure to germs to build up their immunities.

    Study: Keeping livestock in the yard just might help your baby’s immune system
    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    I've seen similar research implying that the immune system develops stronger when bottles and other baby paraphernalia are hand-washed versus machine-washed. The premise makes sense: the immune system develops with repeated exposure to multiple germs. Diet likely plays a big part in gut biome development as well.

    I am surprised at the small sample sizes for this study: only 5 Amish babies and 5 urban babies provided fecal samples.

    "Though the primary difference between the babies in the study was their exposure to a farming environment, the researchers also noted that two of the non-Amish babies were only formula-fed, while all of the Amish babies in this study were breast-fed. Another important difference that could contribute to gut microbiome differences between the groups is that the Amish families grew and routinely ate their own produce."

    I agree with this premise whole heartedly!
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.
