The largest concentrations of Amish citizens are 90,000 in Pennsylvania and 82,000 in Ohio.
Amish communities have settled in as many as 32 U.S. states.
Families have an average of 7 kids so the Amish population is growing rapidly.

It's hard to develop type ii diabetes if you don't eat processed foods but perform physical labor all day. When your foods aren't full of preservatives and additives that lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, you're less likely to develop cancers. And when the school district lets you skip most vaccinations on religious grounds because they don't want that fight with their neighbors that they would definitely lose, you won't get autism that happens in people with mitochondrial dysfunction, proven to happen, especially when you're not consuming things like fludioxonil, which cause mitochondrial dysfunction.
My scientist friend studied fludioxonil for years to determine how it works as a fungicide since we spray it on almost all fruits and vegetables. He discovered it works by causing mitochondrial dysfunction, and we've been putting it on our foods in the US since the early 90s. Since my friend published his research [Link] he lost his research position at UW-Madison. However, other researchers have come to similar conclusions about fludioxonil. Not only does it point to a strong possibility that fludioxonil and vaccines have led to a rise in autism (though more research must be done), but it also depletes glutathione which is instrumental for immune health. [Link] So in a population consuming fludioxonil, health outcomes on the whole will be worse that populations which do not.
M y wife and I have been taking NAC for years precisely because I was given a heads-up by my friend. And the length, frequency, and severity of all of our illnesses have been greatly reduced.
The Amish I lived near used diesel engines to run workshops, and kerosene to light their homes, and wood or propane for cooking and warmth. They also practiced shunning and I have two former classmates who were shunned. One, because she fornicated out of wedlock and became pregnant, and another because he had corrective eye surgery, having been legally blind since birth. I thought the latter to be a hell of a shame, since every time I turned around he had his nose literally in a book because he was essentially incredibly nearsighted. The woman I went to school with was shunned by the greater Amish community, but thankfully her mother stood by her until her death a couple years back.
If this was widely broadcast to the public, how many children would be vaccinated? How many adults?
There are all these food and supplement fads for diet, energy and health promoted by the media. What are the Amish doing right?
It would be interesting to include 'your' group of Amish with the study data. I wonder how closely 'your' Amish follow the traditional ways?
"It would show that the CDC has been harming the public for decades and saying nothing and burying all the data."The American public will have to come to terms with the fact that the government and their various agencies policies are designed to kill them. Their goal is Depopulation. They believe they, the political elitists, are above ' you '. People just refuse to believe this. They can't accept reality. Until they do nothing will ever change because they have everyone trapped within this left/right, gay/straight, black/white loop.
some groups, affiliations, federations, etc. whatever you want to call the different sects(?) have begun to bring in outside males to copulate with the women to mix up the gene pool. Here are the rules: woman lies under a white sheet with a strtegic hole places over the 'Bonus Hole" sorry couldn't resist/ Vagina, the Father of the woman and the husband of the woman are present. The outside sperm donor is allowed to then copulate with the woman under the sheet. He is not allowed to show any pleasure.
***as a woman, I must ask: the guy would have to have an incredible imagination to get aroused with the stern audience and the no pleasure portion is even rougher. How would it be possible??? Why not let the sperm donor , spill his seed as it were into a jar in the other room and then the husband use a turkey baster insert it into his wife. And ...."Bob's Your Uncle" !
And where I grew up, Amish saw doctors when they were really ill or injured. They had no qualms about it. They just didn't go to the doctor for every little sniffle and scrape like over-insured Americans do. I'm sure it doesn't help when the whole insurance, pharmaceutical, clinical circle-jerk drives basic visit costs into the multiple hundreds of dollars though. But small-town doctors have a lot more latitude on what they charge, especially if they are in private practice. They can accept produce and meat as payment if they want, or bargain with the entire Amish colony as a single payer.
The Amish decision over medical care comes down to cost.
Why do people think water is different than other water in a 100 mile radius? It's not. It's the same water. Just like people thinking water a hundred years ago was cleaner than today. It wasn't.
But hydrology isn't so simple. Yes, underground water supplies can lead to contamination of a large area, but that's not a guarantee. A lot of people can share the same source of water even if they are distant from it, but that does not preclude isolated pockets or springs that provide clean water and might be used by an entire Amish colony.
And anyway, since many Western health concerns are diet related, those Amish that aren't carb-addicted won't have the same problems (there were plenty of plump Amish wives who spent their days baking sweets which were then sold to tourists), and they absolutely do not consume as much processed food, or produce which is treated with chemicals harmful to humans. It was incredibly uncommon for my Amish classmates to eat a school lunch rather than have a packed lunch. They were ALL better at sports than us English kids.
quality and nutrient management problems occur on many Amish farms. Problems include misapplication of
manure, fertilizer and pesticides, over-grazing pastures, livestock in streams, stream bank erosion, and
contaminated wells. Well water testing on 191 Amish wells was conducted with 75 (39.3%) testing positive for total coliform bacteria and 17 (8.9%) positive for E.Coli.. Stream monitoring on six streams at fourteen sites discovered high
phosphorous levels and low biological activity in streams without livestock exclusion.
That is genius at work McS amazing
Well DONE!! THAT was a fun read
I actually live in the Valley of Gold and I always tell people the Gold beneath our footsies keep it pure and a whole lot of poison at bay. This town really feels different and its original peeps too and I know it's thanks to the Gold, and thanks to OUR 1st Peoples. Just love it!! (+ I've moved around lots.)
I was born on the West extremity of this Gold Belt in '61 and now live on the East tip of it. Quite the realization I got just a few weeks back.
Now a 2nd thing, your pool know-how will come in handy for me personally. Merci beaucoup!! I've spearheaded a Healing Farms Network a few years back for the soon-to-be future, as communities will need land and waterways and bartering to pull through. A 25m 'Nature' indoor pool is my #1 priority besides the 🐐. I've been collecting lots of precious articles n tidbits n off-grid living advice, none of which I understand lolll but I know how to barter. Anyways... my pool (minimum 2 lanes lolll one for me and the others I don't care) 🏊♀️ will happen.
I know the Amish, I talk to them and have been to many of their places of 'business, hearth and home'. They are people, too. They do some things well, and some things not-so-well. What they do 'well' definitely does help to preserve them. But they are subject to decay, too. Far from perfect, yet doing their best to maintain the type of life they cherish.
A distinctive, sometimes admirable cult.
But a cult, nonetheless.
ned,
