Butch: Oregano & No Colds

[Guest guest]

I have to say, I agree with the post about " too clean " and the inability to

fight off colds as well. It seems to me that those I know who are constantly

worrying about clean and use antibacterial everything are sicker than those I

know who don't use antibacterial products and don't go overboard on the

cleanliness issue. Our family rarely (knock wood) gets sick and I refuse to use

antibacterial products. And although I like the house neat and organized the

kids do play a lot outside and get pretty dirty. But average hand washing

(unless we are away from soap and water and use Purell) seem to do the trick. I

believe we have to be exposed to all kinds of things, foods as well, and our

bodies know exactly what to do about these exposures. Upsetting the natural

balance of things just doesn't seem work. Sue
