Since it could not contest my analytical facts to subdue me, this industry countered me by invoking its paramount argument: hygienics. |
The ideology of hygienics has been disastrous for worldwide water management. |
To persist in this hygienics ideology excludes a good part of humanity from access to quality drinking water. |
On a scientific level, the emergence of hygienics and sanitary engineering in the 19th century have profoundly modified this cycle, unfortunately not in the right direction. |
What hygienics overlooks is that by washing away our filth, water itself becomes soiled. |
The most dangerous micro-organisms are often found precisely in hospitals where hygienics is the rule. |
