Re: As an aside
You do have a point... but I do not think that is the way it is supposed to be.
As you have read in my posts, I liken live soil beneficial bacteria and the synergistic action of these bacteria on the root hairs of a plant, to the synergistic action of the beneficial bacteria in the intestines with the villi for the animal/human.
My point being, it all should work better than it does in our observations of this relationship today; what we are seeing may not be the whole story.
I suggest that families who have a long familial history of civilized (urban/city dwelling) lifestyles fair far better and are more evolved to handle todays world and toxins than those who may have a family history just a few generations removed from the soil, such as myself.
The change has been too fast and too dramatic for someone like me, just a generation off of the farm. I am not suggesting anyone is safe, just that some, due to familial history, are better adapted to dealing with the chemical assault than others.
There have been papers written on the human ability to process and rid the body of toxins extremely well... and that this adaptive trait is the trick to escaping relatively unscathed. Some people are better adapted/capable of this than others...
If you are not fortunate enough to have this adaptive trait, the trick would be to somehow train your body to do it for you; force or speed up the adaptation.
