Breaking: New Study Finds Zero Amish Children Diagnosed with Cancer, Diabetes or Autism
Leading Report ^ | July 9 | Leading Report

A new comprehensive study has found that no Amish children have been diagnosed with chronic conditions, which widely impact the rest of America.

In a new comprehensive study, presented by VSRF founder Steve Kirsch to the Pennsylvania State Senate, it was calculated that for Amish children, who are strictly 100 percent unvaccinated, typical chronic conditions barely exist, if any at all.

Across America, the current population of Amish people is quickly approaching 400,000.

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.

The Amish are a group of traditionalist Christians who are known for simple living, plain dress, and Christian pacifism.

They reject most conveniences of modern technology and pharmaceuticals and maintain self-sufficiency.

The Amish value rural life, manual labor, humility, and Gelassenheit (submission to God’s will) with a view neither to interrupt family time nor replace face-to-face conversations whenever possible.

Yet, despite rejecting all modern medicine and pharmaceutical drugs that the rest of the American people have access to, the Amish are among the healthiest in the nation

There are three Amish communities in our county totaling about 4,000. Last week, one of their saw mills burned to the ground. 4 days later, after embers all cooled, Amish men came from other states, and the structure will be up and running this week. Same with houses and barns. They work hard and are outdoors a lot.

I’ve seen documentaries. It must feel like a different world interacting with them.

They also have the highest concentration of lethal microcephaly due to a closed society with closely shared bloodlines.

Do Amish visit doctors?

Amish People Stay Healthy in Old Age. Here's Their Secret
Start with lifestyle. Amish communities are agrarian, with no modern farm equipment, meaning all the work has to be done by hand. In 2004, the American College of Sports Medicine fitted Amish volunteers with pedometers to determine how much physical activity they performed. The results were dramatic. Amish men took 18,425 steps a day and women 14,196 steps, compared with non-Amish people who are encouraged by doctors to shoot for at least 10,000 steps–and typically fail. Including other forms of manual labor–lifting, chopping, sowing, planting–the Amish are six times as active as a random sample of people from 12 countries. One result of this is that only about 4% of Amish people are obese, compared with 36.5% of the overall U.S. population. Amish children are about one-third as likely as non-Amish to be obese, according to a 2012 study in PLOS One. This means 50% lower rates of Type 2 diabetes. The near absence of tobacco in the Amish community–some men do smoke cigars–results in a 63% lower rate of tobacco-related cancers, according to a 2004 study of Ohio’s Amish population. The Amish also had rates of all cancers that were 40% lower than the rest of the Ohio population.

when I worked at an institution for the mentally retarded 40 years ago, we had an autistic boy from the Amish community. This was not common in the community, because they usually care for these children, but I believe he was placed into an institution due to severe seizures.

There is also a genetic problem causing retardation, which is why the Amish encourage their boys to travel to other groups to find wives to diminish this problem.

A certain percentage of Amish youth leave after age 18: some want an education and join the Mennonite community that has a similar theology. Others just leave for a freer life.

There are trusted doctors who treat the problems that need full medical treatment, often from the Mennonite community. But they tend to be private, so I wonder who did this survey.

I should note that here in the Philippines we have few autistic kids, but we see Down’s syndrome kids here (they aren’t aborted). Blood pressure is a big problem due to the high salt (soy sauce) diet. But in recent years, we are seeing more and more diabetes, and more obesity among the middle class who eat a western diet.

The young are now much larger than 50 years ago: again due to the high protein western diet. But few of these studies seem to observe that in the past the low protein low calorie diets led to people dying of infectious disease: tuberculosis, and children of things like measles.

I wonder how much of this comes down to income/insurance.

Regardless of diagnosis, doctors won’t tell you about treatments based on the limits of your insurance. The concept of “well, you’d have to pay cash if you did this” never enters the conversation.

So, if you’re a “borderline” case, and you have a “cadillac” plan, you’re going to get lots of treatment, not because you absolutely need it, but because you’re insurance covers it.

Those borderline cases with worse insurance are simply told, “we’ll keep an eye on that”.

You may be wondering, what on earth is a “borderline” cancer case? Cancer is something that’s pretty absolute is it not?

Wrong again. Generally cancer falls under the category of “neoplasm”. People get a lot more benign neoplasms than cancerous ones and most doctors will have a pretty good sense of whether your neoplasm is likely to be benign or not significant due to other factors.

There was a study in Japan some while ago where they did a pathology on everyone that died over the course of a year. They found that many people died with some form of cancer, though not of it.

Unbelievable. Definitely diet related, and maybe vaccines. I’m astounded it took this long to find this out.

When I was a kid, nobody got autism.

Nobody had peanut or gluten allergies either. And very few were overweight.

Not really surprising.
They live kind of like how most Americans once lived. Circa 1960 and before.
Staying active doing physical labor. Not eating heavily processed foods. Not doing drugs..legal or otherwise.

Look at all the 90 year old’s living today.. they lived most of their lives without all this modern crap..and they didn’t take 15 phara pills..

You have captured my thoughts exactly!

SIDS and autism are out of control. Something is going on. Children and families are suffering.

Sugar, processed foods, and lack of exercise - the epidemic nobody talks about. Too much money involved.

Autism isn’t a fake diagnosis, but it has been greatly expanded. My 67-year-old brother has what I refer to as classic autism. Back then no one knew what autism was.

We grew up in New Orleans where people have New York like accents. When I would tell my friends that my brother is autistic, a common reply would be, “Oh, he can draw?”

Two reasons no one had ever heard of it back then: The doctors would strongly encourage parents to institutionalize their autistic children. Warehouse them and no one knows about them. My parents were told he would never know them. How wrong they were! I’m so glad my parents rejected the doctors’ advice.

Another reason: Over the decades it went from being a singular diagnosis to a spectrum. I’m not saying people diagnosed “on the spectrum” don’t have a legitimate disorder, but just that a lot of other conditions have been added to the label “autism,” which makes autism much more common than it was back in the day.

We live near Amish communities in Michiana ... they do have children with birth defects and disabilities and let them stay in public school as long as possible for free help from the state.

My dad used to be a “Yoder toter” (van driver) and one of the saddest trips was to Riley Hospital in Indy where an Amish neighbor baby died of birth defects.

They love junk food as much as anybody else. The next time you are behind an Amish lady with a $500 grocery bill, sneak a peek ;-)

Not all the men farm or work in home workshops. A large number work in factories and smoke and drink as much or more than the English men.

Finally I had some relatives with Aspberger’s ... one born in 1925 and his mom said she had relatives from the old country who were “that way.” They would have been born in the 1800s. No vaccines. Maybe exposed to pollution?

No easy answers.
