Susan & I have a strong interest in staying healthy, so we subscribe to several newsletters. The below article appeared in the Health Wyze Report and we thought it certainly ties in with our Melrose Farmers Market and what is being provided to our community by these dedicated local farmers.

The Amish Don’t Get Autism but They Do Get Bio-Terrorism

“People outside the alternative health community are often confused by the lack of autism in the Amish people. The Amish do not experience autism, or any of the other learning disabilities that plague our technological society. The Amish live in a society that consists of outdated technologies and ideals, by contemporary standards. Their diet consists of eating organic, fresh, locally-grown produce, and of course, they do not follow the established vaccination routines. To the dismay of the mainstream media and the medical establishment, this has resulted in a healthier people, that are void of all chronic diseases. Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are virtually non-existent in Amish villages. Equally non-existent are modern, chemically-engineered medicines, enhanced (chemically-engineered) foods, G.M.O. foods, and of course, vaccines. How is it that those who are without the “miracles” of modern orthodox medicine are so extremely healthier? The truth about health, medicine, and how they both relate to the Amish is becoming an embarrassment to some rather powerful people.”
