"Moreover, "generally, across the country, about 8 to 10 percent of kids have asthma. In the Amish kids, it's probably 1 to 2 percent.

A few of them do have allergies, but at much, much lower rates compared to the general population," Carole Ober, an expert on human genetics from the University of Chicago, told The Washington Post.

These numbers are so incredible that scientists are now digging deep into Amish barns and homes to understand how these children are being protected. They believe that their findings could lead to treatments that prevent allergies altogether."

I saw so many Amish when I was traveling year before last around the southeastern part of the Great Lakes.

One picture that still sticks with me is the Amish farmer in full overalls and hat standing like a charioteer with a whip and 4 horses on a plow that was really like a big piece of decking on top of the claw thingies.

He was right up near the small backroad which curved right by his farm... but there was no place to stop for a pic. It was so cool thought he looked like Amish Ben Hur.

This is true, but people are generalizing a bit now about other aspects of their life, which they live closer to physical reality than most modern people now do; they don't live online, on tv, on drugs (or sex and rock and roll!) or at the Mall or in a bar somewhere.

I doubt there's a lot of Amish who think what they feel is more important than what their senses tell them.
