Septicemia, sepsis, going septic, septic shock

If Germs Don’t Kill, What About Septicemia?

People often ask: “If germs don’t cause disease, then what about septicemia (sepsis, going septic, septic shock)?”

From a Natural Hygiene perspective, septicemia is not some rogue bacterial invasion that mysteriously overpowers the body. It is the body’s own healing effort that has been complicated, obstructed, and driven into a life-threatening stage, almost always by well-meaning but harmful interventions.


A wound becomes septic when its natural drainage and cleansing process is interfered with. The body wants to drain toxic waste, dead cells, and debris out through the wound. This discharge is part of the eliminative process, Nature’s way of cleansing the injured area and preventing internal poisoning. When that natural outlet is blocked, the waste is forced to remain inside, reabsorbing into the bloodstream and overwhelming the system.


How this happens in practice:

  • Bandaging wounds – Wounds require airflow and the ability to drain; placing a bandage on the wound impairs the elimination of waste products, reduces airflow, and, if the bandage is too tight, blood flow and lymph flow are also impaired. Blood flow brings repair materials, the lymphatic system eliminates waste products, and constricting the flow of either results in impaired healing.
  • Closing the wound with stitches – Stitches force close a wound, impairing the elimination of the waste the body requires to drain.   While there are times of serious major injury that might require stitching, care must be taken to allow proper drainage.  If drainage is not allowed, septicemia may be induced by the trapping of waste internally.
  • Packing or covering the wound with antiseptic chemicals, antibiotics, salves, herbs or ointments that damage healthy cells and impair the body’s healing.  Bacteria are put in place by the body, for the benefit of the body, at the site of all injuries.  These bacteria are part of the cleaning and repair process.  By applying antibacterial substances, we kill the body’s own repair team, impairing healing, and because these substances are injurious to the body, the body is forced to rapidly close the wound.  Wounds are meant to close slowly so they can drain properly and eliminate poisons.   If they are forced to close rapidly due to more poisons being applied externally, then the cellular waste which is a result of the wound becomes a poison trapped internally.

When we intervene in the healing processes with bandages, stitches, ointments ,or other salves, the toxic material, which includes the body’s own waste, cell debris, and by-products of bacterial breakdown, accumulates faster than the body can remove it. This is classic toxemia, the true cause of all disease.

As Shelton explains, bacteria do not initiate disease; they arrive after the fact, when waste material is present, and assist in breaking it down for elimination.  Bacteria are a symptom of disease and tissue injury, not a cause.  In septicemia, these symbiotic bacteria are present in large numbers because there is an abundance of cellular waste, toxins, or debris for them to work on. But the danger does not come from the bacteria themselves; it comes from the toxic condition of the internal environment caused by the interference in normal healing processes.

Fasting: the emergency measure
 If someone reaches a true septic state, complete physiological rest (fasting) offers the best chance for recovery. Fasting frees up nerve energy, stops the intake of new toxins, and allows the body to concentrate all available resources on neutralizing poisons, breaking down dead tissue, and restoring balance. But more important than knowing how to recover from septicemia is knowing how to avoid it entirely.

Prevention according to Natural Hygiene:

  • Allow wounds to remain open to the air when possible so they can drain naturally. If a wound must be covered to protect it for a time, keep the bandage loose to allow airflow and remove the bandage frequently to avoid excess moisture building around the wound, injuring the tissues surrounding the wound.
  • Support the body’s eliminative effort instead of suppressing it with drugs or antiseptics.  Fast, or eat only very lightly, of foods natural to the human diet – fruits, salads, nuts, and seeds – until the healing has been completed.
  • If the wound must be cleaned of debris, use only pure water, never chemical disinfectants that injure cells and impede healing.
  • Rest the body and avoid overfeeding, especially on protein-heavy or processed foods that create more toxic waste.   Avoiding animal proteins and secretions is most important, as these are the heaviest burdens of an unnatural diet.

When the body’s needs are met, fresh air, pure water, adequate rest, wholesome food, it is fully capable of cleansing itself without complication. Septicemia, like all advanced disease conditions, is not caused by the germ but by the accumulation of poisons (cellular debris, waste, drugs, herbs, etc.) and the obstruction of the body’s natural avenues of elimination. Remove the obstruction, stop adding to the toxic load, and the body will finish the healing work it started.

As Dr. Shelton wrote:

“Disease is a remedial effort, a struggle of the vital powers to purify the system and recover the normal state. This effort should be aided… but never suppressed.”


In the case of septicemia, the tragedy is that it almost always results from preventable suppression/intervention, turning the body’s cleansing process into a closed trap. The real cure lies not in killing bacteria, but in restoring the free, unobstructed flow of Nature’s healing work.

The Viral Theory of Disease Causation

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.

Rabies – The Manufactured Disease

How superstition, pseudoscience, and profit turned a non-existent condition into one of medicine’s most enduring myths

For more than 150 years, we’ve been told that rabies is one of the deadliest diseases on Earth. The official story goes like this: Rabies is a viral disease that attacks the central nervous system of warm-blooded animals, including humans, and it kills nearly 60,000 people every year, mostly children in poor, rural communities in developing countries, mostly in Asia and Africa. We’re told it exists on every continent except Antarctica, that it’s most often transmitted through a dog bite, and that it can only be stopped by vaccination.

The World Organisation for Animal Health ( WOAH, formerly OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO) claim the rabies virus sits at the bite site before travelling along the nerves to the brain, causing inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. They describe two forms — one called furious rabies, with hyperactivity and fear of water, and another called paralytic rabies, with progressive paralysis.

We’re told the bite from an infected animal requires immediate vaccination, and rabies is one of the only diseases for which the vaccine can be given after exposure. We’re told that vaccinating 70% of dogs will eradicate rabies.

But this narrative is full of contradictions. If rabies truly exists everywhere, why is it supposedly concentrated among poor rural children? If it’s carried by many different species, including dogs, bats, raccoons, and cats, then why would vaccinating only dogs stop it? And if viruses are inert outside a living cell, how can one travel through the body on its own?

Also, did you know that the father of germ theory, Louis Pasteur himself, is the first person credited with creating a rabies vaccine?

Before Pasteur: Rabies Was Folklore

Before the late 1800s, rabies was not a proven disease; it was a mere superstition. People believed in what they called royal cures – the kiss of a king would cure rabies. It was later discovered that a piece of the king’s garment would be as efficacious. Other cures included magical “mad stones” pressed to the bite, chewing hair from the dog that bit you, or swallowing bizarre concoctions like ground-up jawbone of an ass or dog, colt’s tongue, and green rust from old coins.

These weren’t science. They were cultural rituals built on fear and misunderstanding. Eventually, Louis Pasteur came along to give a scientific veneer to some of these traditions, but contrary to popular belief,  he didn’t replace actual superstition with genuine science.  He simply gave the old fears a new, scientific costume.

Pasteur’s Brutal Quackery

Pasteur had no medical degree. His rabies experiments were nothing more than animal torture. He bored holes into rabbits’ skulls and injected decomposing matter directly into their brains. This method guaranteed brain damage and neurological symptoms, but it had nothing to do with how a real-life dog bite would happen in nature.

He never isolated a rabies virus, never proved transmission from a naturally bitten animal to a human, and never showed that his vaccine could prevent anything. However, the spectacle of his supposed cures won him fame, and his rabies vaccine became one of medicine’s most celebrated and profitable creations.

Contemporaries Who Called It Out

Not everyone bought the story. Many of Pasteur’s own contemporaries accused him of fraud and incompetence:

  • Dr. William A. Bruette — Showed rabies vaccine was a fraud that spread disease, calling its sale “an out-and-out racket.”
  • Dr. Matthew Woods — After 25 years at the Philadelphia dog pound, handling 150,000 dogs with frequent bites, reported zero cases of rabies. Concluded so-called rabies in animals was due to maltreatment or malnutrition.
  • Dr. George Wilson — President of the British Medical Society. Dr. Wilson called Pasteur’s anti-rabies vaccine “a piece of deception.”
  • Dr. Charles W. Dulles — Investigated for 16 years and concluded “there is no such specific malady” as rabies.

The Missing Virus

Even decades after the invention of the electron microscope, no one, not Pasteur, not the Pasteur Institute, not any successor, has ever identified a rabies virus. No isolation means no proof of viral causation. Without that, the entire claim of rabies as a contagious viral disease collapses.

The Negri Body Problem

For years, Negri bodies in brain tissue were called proof of rabies. However, these formations are not specific to rabies as they can be found in healthy animals. Even the Pasteur Institute admitted this. The diagnosis was based on interpretation, not hard evidence.

The Historical Record Tells a Different Story

When you look at actual records, the rabies scare falls apart:

  • London Hospital — 2,668 dog-bite patients, zero rabies without treatment.
  • St. George’s Hospital — 4,000 “mad dog” bites, no rabies.
  • Philadelphia Dog Pound — 150,000 dogs in 25 years, no rabies despite frequent bites.
  • Dr. J.W. Hodge — Documented over 2,500 deaths from Pasteur’s treatment — many in people never bitten.

Fear as a Cause: Lyssophobia

Natural Hygiene teaches us that fear itself is a poison to the body. History is full of cases where the belief in rabies caused symptoms and death:

  • A man lived 15 years after a dog bite but died within weeks after hearing his friend, who had been bitten by the same dog, had died.
  • A woman died after rabies treatment, later found to have been bitten by her boyfriend, not a dog.

This fear-induced condition was once called lyssophobia or “imaginary hydrophobia.”

Animal “Rabies”: What’s Really Going On

Animals labeled “rabid” are usually suffering from:

  • Parasitic infestations due to malnutrition and toxemia (i.e. heartworms)
  • Malnutrition (weakening the nervous system)
  • Poisoning (pesticides, environmental toxins, abuse)

None of these are contagious viruses.

The Vaccine Problem

Pasteur’s rabies vaccine, and all that followed, rests on the same flawed theory. It injects poisons into healthy bodies based on an unproven contagion. The results?

  • In animals: vomiting, fever, lethargy, severe allergic reactions, and death.  All of these are acknowledged by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
  • In humans: pain, dizziness, nausea, breathing difficulty, swelling of the throat, and post-vaccine encephalitis.

Yet the World Organisation for Animal Health(WOAH) still recommends vaccinating 70% of dogs worldwide, while also claiming other species spread rabies. That’s not disease prevention — that’s a business plan.

The Natural Hygiene Perspective

The science of Natural Hygiene has no use for germ theory myths. Scientific rigors must be adhered to, and laws of nature must be observed in all claims.  Rabies, all of the other so-called infectious diseases, are not a single, contagious entity but a label for various states of body breakdown. The real causes are:

  1. Toxic injury — from cooked foods, processed foods, toxins, or vaccines themselves.
  2. Enervation — loss of nerve energy from fear(chronic stress), injury, or chronic poor living habits.
  3. Malnutrition — starving the body of the materials it needs to function.
  4. Suggestion and hysteria — the mind triggering the body into crisis through fear and stress.

When we remove the causes, the symptoms vanish. No vaccine required.

The Bottom Line

Rabies is not a lurking killer waiting in an animal’s bite. It’s a manufactured disease that was born from superstition, dressed in Pasteur’s pseudoscience, and kept alive for over a century by fear and profit.

There has never been proof that rabies exists as a specific contagious disease. There has never been proof that a rabies virus has been isolated. What has been proven, over and over, is that the vaccine harms both humans and animals, and that the symptoms attributed to rabies are fully explained by poisoning, malnutrition, abuse, or fear.

Rabies is a ghost story in a lab coat. The only way to end it is to stop believing in it.

Are Viruses Real?

Depending on who you talk to you may have heard that viruses have not been isolated and purified, viruses don’t cause disease, or you may hear people saying simply “viruses don’t exist.” This is confusing so I would like to take a moment to clear things up.      

Do Viruses Exist?  Are They Real? 

The simple answer is yes they exist, but no they don’t cause disease. Viruses are real in as much as there is a real substance that people can look at under a microscope. That material is cellular debris, which is dead (inert) and cannot take any action.

The difference between the medical model and the terrain model is in the action ascribed to the material. The medical industry claims that this dead material can attack the body, that it is a foreign invader which can replicate itself, and is the cause of symptoms. None of this has been proven but this is the claim the medical industry maintains. 

In the terrain model, we know this material to be cellular debris.  Virus material is the leftover broken pieces of cells that result from the breakdown of our cells either due to poison or toxin exposure or the natural cellular cycles. If we compare your body to a house that has been demolished we could name all the splinters of drywall and timbers viruses and classify them based on their various characteristics.

While these bits of cellular debris do exist, they do not cause disease as the medical industry claims they do. There is a high correlation between these bits of cellular debris and disease, but the correlation is not causation.  The more poisoned or toxic our bodies become, the more our cells die and the more of this debris we see. This cellular debris, labeled as viruses, is not the cause of symptoms, it is itself a symptom of a toxic body. 

Koch’s Postulates

Viral isolation is meant to prove the claim of action. Koch’s postulates is the standard by which the causation of disease by a microbe is proven.  Viruses and bacteria are both classified as microbes.  The German scientist, Robert Koch, maintained that for a specific microbe to be the cause of a disease:

  1. It must be found in every case of that disease.
  1. It must not be found when the disease is not present.
  1. It must be capable of living outside the tissues.
  1. It must then be capable of reintroduction into the organism and producing that disease.

As has been repeatedly demonstrated, viruses do not fulfill these prerequisites.

The specific requirements of “Koch’s Postulates” follow:

  1. A culture of the bacteria or virus must be taken from a diseased animal.
  1. It must then be grown in pure culture in a laboratory.
  1. After this, the culture has to be injected into a susceptible animal.
  1. It must cause the same disease, and culture must be taken from this animal.

To meet the standard of Koch’s postulates the material must be purified and isolated to be certain it is the only material present, then it must be introduced in its isolated and purified form into a healthy body and it must create the exact same symptoms in the healthy body that were present in the original body the virus was collected from.  To learn more about the difference between isolation and purification see the late David Crowe’s article here:  https://www.therawkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Isolation-vs-Purification.pdf

The purpose of Koch’s postulates is to apply the scientific method to this idea of microbial illness and disease causation.  The scientific method is always about determining causation – mainstream science admits Koch’s postulates can not be applied to viruses. Viral material has always failed to meet the standard of Koch’s postulates so instead of accepting that correlation is not causation and looking for a more rational explanation for why the body creates cleaning and repair symptoms, the medical system continues to move the goalposts to hold on to their highly profitable germ theory.  

Are viruses alive?  Can they replicate and attack the body?

“Decomposed cell debris is precisely what virologists and physicians are calling viruses. They regard viruses as living entities when, in fact, medics have not in all history observed any quality of life they ascribe to viruses. What is called ‘virus’ is always dead. It’s never been observed to be alive. It doesn’t have the first prerequisites of life, that is, metabolic and control mechanisms. Even bacteria have that. I repeat that what is called ‘viruses’ are nothing more than components of decomposed cells.”

– T.C. Fry “Life Science Course”

Viruses are not alive and therefore cannot replicate, they are simply garbage being taken out by the body as it repairs and replaces cells. They are present sometimes when symptoms are present because the body has been exposed to a toxin, poison, or irritant. The symptoms themselves are all expulsion or repair symptoms created by the body as a way to repair the damage created by exposure to the poison or toxin. These poisons or toxins can be the inappropriate foods we eat, environmental toxins like indoor air pollutants, dust, mold, or other harmful substances, water-based contaminants, or even stress that can lead to the body needing to clean and repair. 

“Viruses as an entitative existence are a medical myth. If diseases are caused by uneliminated metabolic debris, which is what so-called viruses are, then the medics have a point. But we Hygienists call that metabolic debris retained wastes, not viruses. Viruses are nothing more than the proteinacious debris of spent cells. Their accumulation can precipitate a healing crisis in the body. When this occurs, the body is likely to transport bacteria to the scene to aid it in cleaning up the mess, but the bacteria did not cause the problem. The habits and practices of the sufferer must be looked to as the real culprits. Once these deleterious habits and practices are discontinued, there will be no further toxic accumulations and thus the need for disease or healing crises will cease to exist. Sickness-free health will exist thereafter.”

– T.C. Fry “Life Science Course”

The ways we live today are unnatural, our diets are far from the natural foods which our bodies are designed to process.  We are designed to metabolize whole raw fruits and tender leafy greens.   We cook our food, we add food coloring, preservatives, inorganic minerals, and other toxins to our foods. We eat fermented (rotten) foods and are taught to believe they are beneficial to our bodies.  We smoke and drink alcohol and intake other poisons with no nutrient benefit to the body.  All of this burden must be expelled for the body to continue to function.   Our self-healing, self-cleaning bodies use expulsion mechanisms like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, mucus, fever, diarrhea, and vomiting to expel this waste when it reaches a critical mass.  

As a result of all of the mistakes of living, we make day to day our cells break down and are damaged and so they decompose.   

“Other components of the decomposed cell are the RNA and DNA. These are toxic while in the system. If they accumulate as they do in most humans in today’s society, a condition of intoxication (toxemia and toxicosis) exists. These are what medical people call viruses, and they mistakenly attribute to this dead debris the powers of life and malevolence.”

Cellular Debris vs Attacking Entities

So to summarize, there is a substance that lab techs look at under a microscope, the disease industry calls this substance “viruses” and the terrain model calls this cellular waste or debris.  The medical industry claims without proof that this dead debris is an invading force that attacks the body, causes symptoms and creates disease.  The terrain model says this cellular debris is a result of a toxic body and the symptoms are the body cleaning and repairing itself.   In either model, the substance is acknowledged as existing, but the functions are vastly different.   

Self-Healing Bodies vs Poison Deficiency

In the terrain model, we know that when we put healing conditions into place the body responds to these healing conditions by taking action to detoxify.  Detox mechanisms (now considered symptoms)  include fever, mucus, diarrhea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, headaches, sweating, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, rashes, and a number of other expulsion symptoms.   Once the expulsion symptoms are complete the chronic disease symptoms are alleviated and health improves.   Sometimes the body goes through several of these healing events and after each event, the overall health of the body is drastically improved.   Flu will bring about the removal of tumors by the body or the healing of a neurological disorder.   A cold will be followed by the cessation of chronic headaches or migraines.  With each cleaning event, the person’s (or animal’s) health improves.  If we wish to heal from chronic disease we must embrace the body’s natural healing processes.   

The medical model sees the body’s natural cleaning and repair processes as mistakes. They believe these mistakes require the application of drugs (more accurately described as poisons) to stop the symptoms and correct the body. Essentially, in the medical model your body is deficient in this particular poison and the application of the poison is said to correct the deficiency.   If a healthy individual was to take the poisons applied to a person suffering a cold or flu they would get ill, but in the medical model applying these same substances is said to take a weakened body and return it to normal function.   In reality, the weakened body has been stopped from cleaning and must instead progress up the ladder of disease, working its way to chronic disease and eventually cancer and tumors to store all of the waste that it cannot remove when the cold and flu healing event symptoms are suppressed.  

The cold is the cure created by the self-healing, self-cleaning body.  The cold is only required because we misfeed our bodies and expose them to an unending stream of toxins and poisons.   Remove the cause and the body will stop needing these regular cleanouts.   Return to the natural diet, get fresh air, sunshine, and daily exercise and health is 100% in your control.
