Reducing Contamination from your Toilet, and Contamination on your Food
#49 2024 The Rowen Report
Dear Subscriber,
Here is some immediately useful information for cleanliness.
First, you all know that we have a crisis of environmental poisoning. Actually, I am surprised that we are still on the planet with what humans have done to it. I really don’t expect us to be able to survive for much more than a generation with all the intoxication from pesticides to plastics.
A recent report tells us that simply washing vegetables from the farm with water will significantly reduce pesticide exposure. The report says that water alone will do the job. Good lesson for us all as this is one way to reduce our body’s exposure to toxic chemicals. Buying organic produce from a local farmer is even better. We have some wonderful farmers’ markets in our environmentally enlightened area. Mostly organic. And we even have organic and vegetarian restaurants in Sonoma county, California. While I call it the Leftist and Communist state for its policies to tax its citizens to death for give aways to get votes, the people in our local area are quite conscious about the environment, fortunately.
Also, be sure to cover your toilet before you flush. This video will shock you. Pathogens persist in the toilet after dozens of flushes. Covering (closing) the toilet might minimize the spray that comes out when you flush, reducing the spread of pathogens.
Also, one subscriber here sent me this, which tells you that our FDA permits rodent poop in food. Of concern? Yes. To go nuts about, no. We have been so exposed for millennia. But we live in an industrial age where food is produced on a huge and commercial scale, so adulterants can easily enter without any knowledge on your part, which knowledge would have been much more complete in the “old days” when you were directly involved with your food.
To Your Excellent Health,

(Big Sigh) As I realize we need to be more directly involved with our food. I've been growing asparagus and greens, lettuce, onions, many more, and expanding into ever more all the time. I am able to buy some good organic produce from farmers around me, things like strawberries that I don't want to grow but I don't want to buy inorganic that's for sure. The area I live in, up until about 25 years ago, was full of small 40-acre farms with hedgerows. Almost all of that was turned into croplands. No more hedgerows which is bad for the birds bees butterflies. Luckily I'm not close to any cropland and live up against a mountain, but still, now that much of the cropland is turning into suburbs I'm wondering which is worse. And who's going to inhabit these homes?
