Easy Livin'; Simplicity, Clarity (WAS: Our Potential for Health (pH) (WAS: Why not stop using products?)

June 7, 2007

The digestive output of some bacteria smells bad to us, but not that of most

bacteria. We are not just covered with bacteria, we are filled with them. So

are all living creatures and almost all organic materials.

I wash myself the same way I wash plants ... with running water, and

occasionally a little friction. Nothing more, been doing that for ages,

haven't bought a deodorant or a tooth product in years, barely remember what

brands are available. All that is simply not a part of my life anymore. My

mouth feels MUCH better, my skin feels MUCH better, and I take all that

money and buy the very best foods I can find ... I'm worth it, at least to

me!!! I have no problem at all with the cost of food, and I live on only a

modest flow of funds. I just know what I actually NEED, I buy that, and

everything else can wait, forever if necessary. Decisions have become very

simple, clarity prevails at almost every turn, what an easy way to live!

Hope to be able to share more of this over time, for those interested.

Best to all,

Elchanan

I'd be interested to learn how one washes in a non trditional sense.......

We, humans, do shed skin constantly....we are covered by bacteria. Bacteria

does smell bad. I'd love to learn a better way of staying clean.

Elchanan,

I find this fascinating, indeed.

My sister used to tell her son (after softball practice).... " did you use soap? "

sometimes after a shower because he did not smell clean afterwards. LOL. He

would say no...lol she would tell him " get back in there and use the soap " .

She would tell me how he would just stand under the running water and just rub

his body.

So I'm curious. How do you brush your teeth? What about tooth decay?

Yes, we are covered and filled with bacteria. They are at work 24/7. They will

eat away at all the enamel of our teeth, they will cause us to smell badly. Are

you saying that just running water will rid us of the stinky bacteria? Some

bacteria are stubborn and don't want to leave willingly. lol

Jeannie

your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.
