Pesticides in Vegetables

My wife was very sick with vertigo and hearing loss.  Then B1 has allergy issue.  Recently, B3 also has allergy.  Both B1 and B3's allergies happened after dinner.  My wife start doing research in the net as B3 is quite serious where it affects his throat and breathing.   Our maid cooks dinner every night.  My wife starts observing how she prepares and clean the vegetables.  The maid has been taught before but did not follow instruction.  She uses a small pot to wash the vegetable which mean it is not very clean.  This maid is pretty stubborn and refuses to follow simple basic instructions on how to wash.  She says it will take long time. Basically, it is an impossible task to train her.  So my wife cooks now and guess what?  B3's allergy that occurs every night in the last few months stopped! 

Pesticides in vegetables can cause hearing loss, memory loss and allergies.  So it is very important to wash your vegetables thoroughly and ensure every possible mean to clear the pesticides.  We are eating more organic vegetables as well.

Organic stuff are very expensive and we won't know
for sure they are organic. I don't trust these suppliers.

I think the big supermarkets like NTUC and Cold Storage may have better process to manage the authenticity as they have bigger price to pay if the organic products are found non-organic.
