Over cleanliness and sanitation disrupt the microbial environment and generate selective pressures which play in favor of a handful of pathogens responsible for most of nonsocial infections.#5PointsParadigm-Radical Design for Wellnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318463595787156149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066238290370557389.post-19159127627309334682014-01-22T08:29:39.750-06:002014-01-22T08:29:39.750-06:00Great post Dan.

What could we recommend? What is interesting is that there is no money to be made by the BBE policy, so no one will push the policy and certainly there will be little $$ made available to study it. Thus, again we see the bias against basic rational infection control in favor of expensive and equally evidence challenged interventions. I'll stop now lest people think I'm any more than passionate about these here topics.<br /><br />Oh, just a question, why do people like long sleeves anyway?
