Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
Perhaps Amish don’t live in complete filth and walk barefoot across human faeces on the ground. Perhaps you haven’t considered a few points in this “argument” 1: Some Amish spread human manure on crop fields which may or may not be treated. 2: are you aware of which animals hookworms infest? Perhap...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
I’m simply looking at overall health. Overall, Amish communities do better in basically every metric. Due to that, I would be hesitant to condemn their lifestyle as unhealthy, considering they get better outcomes than my demographic and others do. That’s what I thought. Hookworms are less common to...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
Amish children have better health than their non-Amish neighbours. There is simply not a health risk to being barefoot, at least in Amish communities. So… your evidence is anecdotal based on individual contacts from the few southern Amish communities? Or are you speaking of your larger quantities o...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
My children rarely wear shoes when school is out. This morning my 11 year old left at 4:00 am to go hoe weeds in a field 2-3 hours away. He forgot his shoes. A few years back they got warts. Not sure if that comes from going bare footed or not. But no hook worms. One did cut his bare foot years ago...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
So any claims that the Amish did better or worse than the general population is just made up nonsense or anecdotal assertions not based on any actual data or evidence. As is the case with the study referenced here. Which is about children anyway who were rarely affected by COVID in the first place....

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
Yet the evidence says that groups who regularly have their children barefoot around horse and bovine manure have better health outcomes. Where is this evidence and is it based on South America or the south region of USA? The evidence I’ve seen is poor in those regions with multiple health problems ...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
For once Ken and I agree on something. Another aspect that might keep Amish children more healthy is the fact they usually live in less sterile environments, than their non-Amish peers. The fact that they are around horses, other animals, run barefoot, maybe don't bathe as often, etc. builds up the...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children
Nope. I’d fully expect them to say those things even though they are not true. Having had an unvaccinated autistic son, I’m not speaking out of ignorance and I’m very well read on vaccines and autism. You should know I have a strong stance against many vaccines but not all of them. Of course it has...
