Did you know that the word virus was originally defined as poison? And virulent was defined as malignant or poisonous? Today, the word virus typically refers to a submicroscopic particle and virulent means contagious. Modern medicine now uses the term virus to mean a particle that can only be seen under a microscope that infects cells and is said to be the cause of an ever-increasing number of diseases.
“In the simpler viruses, the virion consists of a single molecule of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat, the capsid; the capsid and its enclosed nucleic acid together constitute the nucleocapsid.” – Fenner, Bachman et al. “Structure and Composition of Viruses”
Allopathic medicine and the media portray the virus as a parasitic life form that attacks all life forms, including human cells, animal cells, plants, bacteria, and even fungi.
In the vast array of modern viral diseases, viruses are said to take a range of actions, including injecting themselves, incubating, infecting, attacking, conducting sieges, being at war with the body, or commanding our cells. They are said to be deadly and devastating. The media warns of the rogue virus leaping from body to body on its ruthless mission to take down mankind, killing the host it is said to require to reproduce.
The medical theory posits that the virus infects and then inhabits a healthy cell, reproducing until the cell itself explodes from the burden of the virus, at which point the virus is said to move on to infect nearby cells. Repeating this process over and over again, the virus kills off thousands and thousands of our cells until at some point our immune system decides to take action. According to medical theory, the single virus attacking the body is too difficult for our immune system to eliminate and so it is allowed to replicate into thousands of viruses. However, once the virus raises an army of replicated viruses and lays our body low, only then, when we are at our lowest, can the immune system fight back against and destroy the virus.
The narrative continues that once our immune system has beaten the virus we are now said to have antibodies against this virus and we are immune to the virus. However, every viral disease is said to be so contagious that even if you get the vaccines to give you immunity you can still become ill over and over again from that same virus.
So naturally, being immune, we would never get sick again from the virus, right? Except we do get sick again and again. We get colds over and over again throughout life, as well as the flu. With each new virus that the disease industry invents, we are told we become susceptible to those as well. If we eat the standard Western diet of cooked foods, animal foods, and other unhealthy fare we experience colds, flus, and rashes on a regular and consistent basis throughout life.
The viral theory of disease causation requires the virus to take action, however, virologists admit that although viruses are organic in nature, they have no metabolism, no nucleus, they are smaller than unicellular microorganisms and lack typical cell components, including organelles, cytoplasm, and nuclei. This means that the virus lacks all of the characteristics of a living being. Viruses contain nucleic acid and protein but lack enzymes, and they lack the first prerequisites of life, metabolic control mechanisms. Even bacteria contain these metabolic systems required for life. In addition, viruses cannot be replicated in a laboratory and have, in fact, never been observed alive.
You might be asking yourself now, “What about all the live virus vaccines that are marketed by the disease industry?” Well, it turns out that the term live virus in a vaccine merely refers to those viruses that are created in a live culture in a laboratory setting. It does not refer to a viral entity that has been isolated, purified, and observed alive. Even though these cultures are considered to be alive there is a massive cell turnover as various toxic substances are applied to these live cultures and it is from the dying cells that the virus particles are isolated. These entities are always dead and inactive because they have no metabolism and no requisites for life. So to summarize, live tissue is exposed to poisons that damage the tissues causing a mass die-off of cells, and as a result of this poisoning the material which is called the virus emerges only from the breakdown of the dying cells.
Virology also acknowledges that viruses have no reproductive system, no locomotion, and cannot be reproduced as live entities in vitro.
The viral theory of disease requires these microscopic materials to be capable of action, but the virologists who study them admit that these materials are not alive. Inert, or dead material cannot take action. Therefore, if the material is not observed alive and has none of the requirements of life then it cannot take any of the actions that have been ascribed to the virus – injecting itself, incubating, infecting, attacking, conducting sieges, being at war with the body or commanding our cells. If the material is incapable of action or locomotion then it is also incapable of contagious infection as dead material cannot leap from body to body infecting people, animals, or even plants.
If the medical narrative is not an accurate representation of what is scientifically observed to be true of this material, is there another explanation for what this material might be?
Viruses as cellular debris
Mitochondria are found in the cells of almost all eukaryotic organisms, including humans, plants, and animals. Each cell of our body contains varying organelles (little organs), which are living organisms, among them are the mitochondria which metabolize glucose into ATP molecules. Mitochondria are about the size of bacteria and have their own DNA and their own metabolism. The study of cytology (cell structure) shows us the greatest number of life forms within a cell are the mitochondria.
All of the cells in our body are continuously dying and being recycled into new cells, called daughter cells during the process of mitosis. During this process, the dying cell is disintegrated by lysosomes. Lysosomes are intracellular enzymes that break up cellular components into ultra-minute particles so that the body can readily recycle them or excrete them as waste.
Each day it is estimated that we expire between 300 billion and over half a trillion cells, each containing an average of 5,000 to 20,000 mitochondria. When a cell dies the cell’s own lysosomes deconstruct the cell, but the nuclei and the genomes of mitochondria are often not completely decomposed in this process.
The genomes and nuclei of the cell mitochondria are the blueprints of the cell and, as such, they are similar to the brain and nervous system of our body. They are protected with a double lipid-protein sheath, similar to how our skull and backbone protect our brain and nervous system.
You might recall from above that the virus is composed of nuclei and a protein sheath, just as the decomposed mitochondria leave a remnant of this same cellular debris. Upon cellular death, mitochondria are broken down by the lysosomes but due to the protective protein sheath, this process is not always complete, leaving behind a remnant material that exactly matches that which is described by allopathic medicine as a virus. It is this remnant cellular debris of the mitochondria that occurs as part of the normal recycling of the cells during mitosis which is the origin of the material called the virus.
In other words, as our cells become injured, commonly by the ingestion of toxic materials, the cells break apart and are recycled as part of the cleaning and repair processes the body goes through every day. When this happens, microscopic bits and pieces of the cells circulate and are broken down by the lysosomes. Some of this material is absorbed into other cells for reuse and some of the material is sent to the lymphatic system, the body’s sewer system, for elimination.
Since viruses are not alive they cannot act in any of the malevolent ways that modern allopathic medicine has ascribed to them. They are merely the undigested waste products of the normal recycling of cells. They are found in higher quantities when the body has been injured, and lower quantities when the body is healthy. When a person maintains a chronic level of disease conditions in their body by straying far from the requirements of health, the person will have higher quantities of this cell debris chronically until they correct the conditions that are not conducive to health.
Viruses are always present in the body
The medical authorities claim that viruses are the cause of disease symptoms, however, they also readily admit that these small particles as well as the bacteria which they also love to blame for disease are always found in healthy bodies. If a material is a natural part of the body, found in all healthy bodies it cannot be the cause of disease.
“Our bodies are exposed continually to bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, all of which occur normally and to varying degrees in the skin, the mouth, the respiratory passageways, the intestinal tract, the lining membranes of the eyes, and even the urinary tract” – Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology
The allopathic model which blames viruses as a cause of disease for a growing number of diseases readily admits that all healthy bodies contain bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. In fact, the study of the microbiome is continuing to discover daily the many functions of these beneficial bacterial, fungal, and parasitic organisms. Yet, while allopathy admits that these materials are present in healthy bodies and required for the health of the body, their arsenal for disease battling is filled with poisons designed to kill these beneficial organisms. Of course, you cannot kill something that is already dead, so their profitable poisons are not capable of killing a virus, a material that is already not alive. However, this does not stop them from trying to apply as many poisons to the body as they can get their customers to accept.
At this point, you are probably wondering, if viruses jumping from person to person are not the cause of our symptoms then what is? After all, we all get cold and flu symptoms at some point in our lives, for many, this occurs every year. What is the source of these symptoms if it is not the random attack of the malevolent virus as allopathy teaches us?
The self-healing, self-cleaning body
The human body is self-healing and self-cleaning. If you scrape your knee your body immediately sets out to repair the damage. The body breaks down the damaged cells and recycles them into new cells, expelling the waste in the process fully repairing the wounded area. Your body will of its own accord, with no assistance required, clot the blood, create mucus or discharge to expel any foreign material as well as the dead cell debris, bring in bacteria to assist with the breakdown of damaged cells, build a temporary scab to cover the wound and then slowly knit the skin back together, all without any assistance required.
If we break a bone we recognize the same truth, that our body is of an intelligent design whereby it is fully capable of repairing the bone, should we provide it with the essentials of health required. The state of our overall health and our diet at the time of injury impacts the length of time the body takes to heal from these injuries and whether we fast or eat during this time significantly impacts the duration of healing. Despite whatever handicaps it faces, the body takes intelligent action to repair the injury.
While we readily accept our body’s healing properties in some ways, we have been taught in other ways to fear our body’s healing actions. When our diet strays from the natural diet that our physiology was designed for and when our lifestyle habits create a toxic environment for our body, then our body is required to periodically clean and heal from these unhealthful habits.
Our bodies will create expulsion symptoms to eliminate waste, toxins, poisons, and irritants. If we inhale some dust, we sneeze to expel that dust. This is an example of an expulsion symptom. What we call the diseases of cold and flu that are purported to be caused by the dead and inactive malevolent virus of allopathic reasoning are in fact healing events or healing crises created by the self-healing, self-cleaning body.
If you look at the common symptoms of the cold or flu such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, mucus congestion, watery eyes, diarrhea, or vomiting you will see quite clearly that all of these symptoms are the body working to push material out. The body creates diarrhea by flushing water into the bowels to rapidly eliminate any material in the bowels. If we eat rotten food, toxic food, or food that is irritating like spicy peppers our body springs into action and flushes the material out and what we experience we call diarrhea. The diarrhea is not a mistake or a dangerous process, but is in fact a defense mechanism protecting the body from injury from the inappropriate substances that have entered the digestive system.
If you get a bit of dust in your eye your body will spring into action and tears will form to flush the material out of the eye. If you inhale a bit of pet dander, grass, or pollen, your body will respond defensively to expel that irritating bit of material creating a runny nose or sneezing. If you sit too close to the campfire while camping you may notice mucus congestion or a runny nose the next day because the smoke is an irritant to the lungs and nasal passages. You might even develop a cough to get this material out of the lungs.
When our body encounters a toxic material the body initiates a cleaning. If you walk into a room where disinfectant was sprayed, you may experience a runny nose, cough, or congestion from the inhalation of the poisonous disinfectant. The body is working defensively to protect its tissues from the irritant.
Inhaled irritants like perfume, cleaning chemicals, candles, disinfectants, bleach and strong scented laundry detergents, car exhaust, and essential oils are all irritating and injurious to our tissues and result in the body creating an expulsion event to clear them out. Followed by mucus to eliminate the damaged cell debris that is left over.
Aside from the day-to-day exposure to inhaled toxins, poisons, and irritants, our body will also launch into a cleaning as often as required by our dietary indiscretions. The further we eat from our natural foods, which are whole, raw, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, the more injury our body encounters on a daily basis. The more we injure the body with cooked foods and foods that are not suited to our physiology, the more disease conditions build up in the body impairing normal cellular functions.
As these injuries pile up day after day, the cellular waste within the body builds until it reaches the individual’s level of tolerance. When the impairment to normal cell function becomes more than the body can withstand it has reached its tolerance level. When tolerance levels are reached and the body has sufficient energy available the body will launch into a cleaning event. This is why we frequently see colds arising after holiday celebrations like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Indulging in large quantities of some of the most unhealthy fat-laden fare pushes our bodies over the edge and forces a cleaning event.
In addition, we frequently see colds arising when we go on vacation. This is frequently a result of the increase in available energy our body has available to clean with. When we are working we frequently are under stress which limits our available energy, but as soon as we take the time to relax, sleep in, or just enjoy a week without the office stress our body recovers enough energy to clean and expel the build-up of waste that is impairing our daily functions.
The cleaning event
The cleaning event starts with a drop in energy and we begin to feel fatigued. If we stop eating and go to bed and rest at the first signs of fatigue we will avoid the worst symptoms of the cold or flu healing event. But if we continue to eat then we are adding more burden for the body to clean out. The cleaning event progresses with growing fatigue and the production and release of mucus. This mucus carries out cellular debris, toxins, old waste, any foreign matter or bacteria, and anything else that the body needs to eliminate. The more we eat and the heavier the foods we consume the less energy is available for the cleaning event and the more added burden is acquired. If we rest and limit our food intake our cold or flu passes quickly with little discomfort. Unfortunately, most people have been taught all their life to feed a cold with some of the worst foods like chicken soup, crackers, or ginger ale.
Sadly, not long ago it was common knowledge that “If you feed a cold you will have to starve a fever.” Somewhere along the way this old adage was corrupted and became “Feed a cold, starve a fever”. We will never know if this was done purposefully to deceive the public or simply an accident of poor attention to detail but it has had a significant impact on the health of millions. How many of us dutifully fed our loved ones soup and crackers thinking we were helping them battle the invading virus when in fact the action of feeding when the body is trying to clean and heal extends suffering and can even in some cases result in death if the body is attempting to recover from sufficient burden.
How the cold progresses into the flu, pneumonia, and other much more serious conditions.
The body has launched into a cleaning event because its normal operating conditions have become impaired. The cells are drowning in their own cellular waste, toxins, and debris. Suppose we can recognize this and give our body the break it needs, alleviating some of the causes of disease from our daily habits, getting more rest, drinking more water, etc. In that case, the body can quickly clear out the backlog of waste and get us back to feeling our best.
However, when the body shows us symptoms of a cold healing event or flu healing event, this is a body in distress. If the body can move through this cleaning event without being further injured, then the body will be able to return to normal functions. If, instead, we keep stuffing the body with food to “keep up our strength,” then the body becomes exhausted and is unable to complete the eliminations.
For some people, this means a cold or flu healing event that lasts for weeks or even months on end, with fatigue stretching on for months afterwards. This is because they are never allowing the body to catch up on the waste backlog. They are leaving the body in a chronic state of impairment.
But for others, the state of their body will get progressively worse. The heavier the food that we feed upon the greater the burden that we created. Even greater still is the application of drugs to the body. If you take cold or flu medications, pain medications, antibiotics, antibacterial or anti-inflammatory drugs you are ingesting a poisonous substance that would take a healthy body into a state of sickness. These drugs might result in the temporary suppression of your symptoms because the body must shift its energy from cleaning out the backlog to dealing with the incoming poisonous material. Drugs do not have the ability to create health. The symptoms stop due to the exhausting influences of the drug, not due to any health-giving effects. You cannot poison a poisoned body back to health.
If you feed a body that is trying to clean, your cold or flu healing event and the accompanying discomfort can be stretched on for weeks or months. If we drug the body trying to stop the cleaning event at this vulnerable time, pneumonia and other very serious conditions are very likely in our future. The more we attempt to drug away the symptoms, the more injured the body becomes and the more aggressive the symptoms become.
Eventually, if we keep taking drugs or even natural remedies to suppress our cold and flu cleaning symptoms, the body runs out of energy to launch these life-saving cleaning events, and instead, we shift into chronic disease, organ damage, and eventually cancer. Cancer is the end result of fearing and suppressing the body’s healing and repair processes over and over again.
By teaching the public to fear the virus and fear their own body’s healing and repair processes the for-profit medical industry not only can continue to sell in the trillions each year their antibiotics, injections, and cold and flu drugs and build a steady stream of lifelong customers who will fund the extremely lucrative cancer industry. The more you fear your own body’s ability to heal itself, the more the disease-for-profit industry is able to enrich itself.
You will recall that the original definition of the virus was poison. A virus is a result of poisoning, both the acute poisoning that we encounter on a day-to-day basis as a result of the many toxic substances allowed to exist in our environment as well as the daily poisoning from the ingestion of inappropriate foods. This means that health is 100% within your control, if you simply learn to supply the needs of health to your body and limit unhealthy habits.
