Those Germs Again! / A few questions...

****Did you see all the links that Ed and others have been posting

this week on this subject? I know it's hard to read an awful lot

when you are tired and overwhelmed with just doing this diet/program

and handling the rest of your life.

The simple answer, for me, is that when an 'epidemic' or 'outbreak'

of some illness takes place, does *everybody* get it? NO, there is

always the one (or more) that do not (and the press doesn't talk

about *those*)... in my understanding, those are the ones who were

healthy enough in their 'immune system' (healthy overall) who did not

" catch " the so called germ.

In truth, those same germs are everywhere, and no doubt in the bodies

of the few who stay well -- but they coexist there in a friendly

manner, because they do not find 'fertile ground' to overgrow --

fertile ground is what I mean by an unhealthy environment -- a body

that is " ripe for " an infection because it is way out of balance and

already ill, even if obvious symptoms don't show yet.

So it would be a good idea not to hang around ill people (flus,

colds, etc.) while you are detoxifying and healing yourself. You may

just get sick too, but you don't " catch " the thing from those

people! I hope I made it clear.

It's darned simple, when you think about it that way. Ed and others,

please let me know if I missed something and oversimplified it or

what I said is actually wrong in some fundamental way. Thanks!

To Health,

Jude
