Somehow they’re not getting the stuff that’s poisoning the rest of us.
For sure, they eat well: home-cooking and enough if it. And engage in physical labor. There is a lot in their way of living to admire, IMHO.
Good food, work , and sleep?
“Chronic conditions” enrich the biomedical-pharmaceutical complex by keeping people on “maintenance” meds.
True cures or prevention would be bad for the bottom line.
How did any doctors get close to them to examine them, if the Amish are against all modern medical practices and technology? If they can’t be diagnosed, then, nothing will show up in the results. However, I’m thinking of becoming Amish if the results are true.
Also, cook with lard or tallow and make thier own butter?
“...no Amish children have been diagnosed with chronic conditions...”

Newsflash:
People who do not go to doctors do not get diagnosed with diseases.
(they still have the diseases, but they are un-diagnosed)
Well, that blows the “sugar causes most illnesses” platitude. Donuts, coffee cake, and pie for breakfast. Yes please!
Just like Jews and Arabs, they have a lot of genetic diseases, though.
Given five Amish people died in Lancaster County, PA, “the Amish died at a rate 90 times lower than the infection fatality rate of the United States of America...They basically ignored every single guideline that the CDC gave us. Ignoring those guidelines meant a death rate 90 times lower than the rest of America.”Comparing one county with the rest of the USA, and ignoring other factors is hardly an objective conclusion.
What one website had to say about whether the Amish visit doctors or not, etc...

Seems reasonably balanced to me.
They do not eat organic. They use pesticides on their crops. They eat sugar and carbs freely. Interesting.
Amish, Mennonites and other moldy closed communities do sometimes suffer from unusual genetic conditions.
Vaccines cause long term issues for many. Most people have no idea that vaccines had anything to do with them having those conditions. So many years ago as a child I had a vaccine that changed my state of health for ever. Allergies began. Tiredness, and other symptoms. Never had another vaccine.
They come to the doctor just like anyone else, as far as I can tell. They are much more fit than non-Amish. It is news to me that they and their children are not vaccinated... if so, it is very important that this be studied.
If a link between infant and childhood inoculations and autism could be proven, it would be tremendously important, needless to say.
If so, laws allowing parents to exempt their kids from some or all of the incredible number of shots would be forthcoming, I would think.
The huge disease burden of autism would make this an overwhelmingly popular cause.
If the data show that there are zero cases of cancer or diabetes, in any large population, the research is nonsense.
Good for them, but how often do they go in for a CDC diagnosis?
Visit the ER in a hospital near where they reside in large numbers, certain rural counties in NE Ohio for example, and you will frequently find Amish in the waiting room. They may not vaccinate, but they won’t avoid modern medical care when its necessary.
