From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > i never said that eating meat was directly linked to the common cold/flu, but > i've been sick probably about 3 times since i stopped eating meat. > coincidence? probably not. Probably so. I live almost entirely on microwave food, frozen pizza, meat, fast food, iced tea, coffee, cigarettes, marijuana, and the occasional vitamin C pill, and haved lived this way for upwards of six years, and I still only get sick at most once a year, and then usually only for one day. You wanna know the REAL best way to not get sick? Stop taking medicine. I'm completely serious. The more you rely on medicine to get rid of minor illness/infection, the more susceptible to them you will be. Think of it this way - every time you let yr own immune system kill a virus or infection, it gets stronger, because it learns how to deal with that infection/virus. If you get rid of them with medicine, yr body learns nothing. I mean, come on - if pharmaceutical companies actually got rid of disease, wouldn't they go out of business? And it's blindingly obvious that the ONLY thing pharmaceutical giants care about is making money, as evidenced by, for example, the way it seems like every child or teenager in the country is on at least one kind of anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, or whatever. Funny, we used to get along just fine without them... in fact, if historical accounts are to be trusted, mental illness was LESS common before these drugs came along.
