Welp, my buddy just stopped by, he is going to the hospital for the third time this year.
I am to stay home, await a call because if he was admitted, pick up his car and park it in a safe place. We were talking and he can't agree that diet is the problem. But then I can't really fully assert that either. I just don't know for sure, but I do know a few things.
He has a staph infection again, and again. We burn doobies, we play the same musical instruments. I clean nothing. It is time to clean the piano, but that is because of it looking grody. It is not because of some percieved germs on it. The fact of the matter is I do not have the disease.
They close down whole schools to clean and disinfect rooms that infected people were in. They do all kinds of things but I don't. And I am not infected.
Then I read that staph is everywhere. On the doorknobs to the bedknobs. Then why don't we all have it ?
The logic is simple, some of us get it and some of us don't. An infection is an infection. They say so many things, there is no sense to be made out of it. It is bad to have an acidic body chemistry, but wait, certain germs don't like that. They say to eat alot of carbs, but if I did I would weight 400lbs. I am happy at 190.
They say don't drink, then they say drink wine. Margarine is a good alternative to butter, but then it is not. That debate has been going on for longer than I have lived. And it still isn't over.
While I may prepare things new, combining ingredients differently, there is one central theme to whatever I use when I cook. Has it been around for 100 years ?
Now I have to make a few exceptions. The first of which is salt. Table salt is poison. It is not the sodium chloride that hurts you, it is the additive. Also, sugar has been around for a long time yet I want nothing to do with it.
This guy will not listen. Maybe I need some letters after my name or something. When they said you are what you eat, they were right. Where else would it come from ?. When you were born you were what, eight pounds ? Do you think you inhaled all the rest of that mass ?
And if you did, all the glands in your body that need manganese, chromium, vanadium, sulfur, magnesium, iodine, iron, calcium, boron, whatever, just how much do you think you can inhale ?
Logic.
Is it not true that for the human body to operate correctly it needs the correct fuel ?
Is it not true that disease first strikes the weak of any species ?
I don't mean weakness in the conventional sense. This guy is tough and strong physically, in his forties he can still stand on his head and do exercises that way. This is a guy you want on your side.
But a weakness of the immune system is insidious, well for him, until now.
I believe that with this screwed up diet in this country we are pretty much killing ourselves. I try not to, I try to analyse everything, and I no longer eat for taste. I eat for content,. Sometimes if I feel like having spaghetti, I will have a big salad instead.
Flavor does matter, but to me it is now secondary. "What is in this" ?
And, last but not least, we pass one around, exposed to the same things. Why does he get the infection yet I do not ? And remember I am a slob. I wash my hands before I cook, but after I eat. Of course if I am cooking for more than just me I wash my hands, it is common decency.
What they are saying about this malady is wrong. If it were right nobody would have it.

There was some study done (no I can't cite it, I only remember the bare bones of it) and the amount of fecal matter from leaky diaper clad UMs shocked me. I won't use that part of the cart anymore.Ick, off to wash my hands!
