Science and pseudoscience?

My landlady doesn't agree with vaccinations. I'm very wary when I hear people don't agree with vaccinations but at least she didn't mention autism. I tried to keep an open mind and research what she said later. I found it's true measles and some other childhood diseases are unlikely to kill children in developed countries where health is generally

The idea of vaccinations is to make you sick in a way that makes your immune system stronger, so she should agree with them. ;) There's also the whole "herd immunity" thing, not that I'm an expert.

I agree with you about the weaknesses of Western medicine. I also think that the way we relate to food in this culture is really, really messed up and that a better relationship with food could help a lot!

Well, I agree but some people think there is a difference between being sick from vaccine and actually having symptoms. She didn't feel getting into the biological difference.
Yes, society has a lot of issues with food. Too many people have forgotten how to relax and enjoy it!
