No sterilizing equipment then.
No dishwashers.
Not even a stainless steel draining board attached to the sink but a wooden one.
Holes in our shoes thick industrial fogs to breath around this time of year every year and those times are considered the healthiest fittest times since the industrial revolution.
A few things come to mind regarding that.
Very few cars existed.
Lots of exercise.
The food supply had not been taken over by chemical and pharmaceutical companies.
The only food supplement was cod liver oil.
Horse shit in the streets.
Milk from local farms with very little hygiene if any.
Meat and dairy purchased daily as needed.
Does any of it count?
Who knows
Hi again Rollup.
Where can I start?
You are a product of many thousands of years of Darwinian selection of strong bug-fighting genes.
But to a large extent this genetic advantage over our ancestors has been has been 'neutralised' by modern-day pollutants in the air, water and soil, I feel.
And yes you may be right that immunisation jabs have interfered with our natural immunity.
But on the whole vaccinations have surely been a positive thing simply cos they've saved numerous lives.
There has never been a time in history when humans were NOT at the mercy of bugs!The bubonic/black plague threatened to turn the entire continent of Europe into one BIG cemetery.
More recently, in the 18th/19th centuries Royal households lost babies to food bugs like typhoid,
And
THEY were of course the highest on the socio-economic ladder, had the best nutrition & best doctors - imagine what their impoverished subjects went thru.

Anywayyy hope my posts aren't taken the wrong way. Not being preachy, just giving opinions, that's all.
