To me it's obvious. Till now no one questioned pharmaceutical and body care products. We've been led astray. We used soap/shampoo when we wake up, antibacterial soap morning noon and night, lysol disinfectant spray on all surfaces, a pill for ADD before bed. So for 40 years we have been doing exactly the wrong things.
You can't unscrew this by throwing dirt on it. Dirt isn't the right bacteria either. Even bacteria has an order to it. There are a common set of bacteria on us and things and they needs to be there. We've been convinced by corporations selling a products, that bacteria is bad.
- brianwawok 11y ago* Aren't most pills for ADD stimulants and thus taken in the morning and not before bed ;)
- xkcd-sucks 11y agoHence "we have been doing exactly the wrong things"
- brianwawok 11y agoI read it as ADD medicine is wrong for most people, and that it was going that angle. I guess the wrong medicine at the wrong time of the day wins a double wrong?

- bryanlarsen 11y agoBlaming the allergy and inflammation epidemic on anti-bacterial soap and other similar products is a common hypothesis, which is probably why this article was written to argue against the hypothesis. The article's hypothesis is that the cause is indoor living and processed foods.
- chillwaves 11y agoYour statement does not agree with the article. Encapsulated in the sentence "cause is indoor living" implicates products such as antibacterial drugs used in soap, toothpaste, everywhere etc.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoThe article includes lines like "giving up soap won't help your biome".
