in large part, the "pathogens don't exist" crowd is an op. like "there's no such thing as nuclear fission," which ignores the amount of toxic radionucleides found in the teeth of children born in years when there were atom bomb tests

this is a classic both-and situation. is terrain important? absolutely. can it be invaded if it's not properly defended? of course. are there other influences - energetic, environmental, maybe genetic - at play? let's look into those too. anybody who would try to steer you into a simple binary is leading you astray

Agreed, a lot of "either / or" angles are initiated by the people with not-so-good intentions, and later sadly picked up by some sincere people. Not every militant dogmatic is "fake opposition" but many likely are "controlled," not in the sense that they knowingly do the bidding of the people with not-so-good intentions but in the sense that they are under an influence and don't even know it. So when this anxious, angry energy shows up, it is usually a sign of manipulation.

Groan. You are misrepresenting what most people are saying about nuclear fission. People like myself concede nuclear fission is real. We can observe it in nature. For example, we can see Uranium fissioning in nature.

However, what we don't concede is the existence of nuclear fission bombs or fusion bombs. Why? Because by and large the enormous amount of energy supposedly released by a nuclear bomb derives from the equation E=MC2, where E = energy, M = mass, and C = the speed of light.

So if this equation can be shown to be fictitious then all calculations claiming enormous energy yields from nuclear weapons can be shown to be wrong. [ I should add here that there are physicists who derived this equation from classical mechanics and Galilean relativity which leads to paradoxical results - ie the yield of an atomic weapon would depend on which frame of reference the observer was to be found as C is no longer constant. In essence, the equation becomes meaningless - ref 'Relativity from Lorentz to Einstein - A guide for beginners, Perplexed and Experimental Scientists, by Alberto Palazzi, page 220].

As it happens Special Relativity, from where this equation derives, is a fantasy just like General Relativity. I suggest you read 'Science at the Crossroads' by Herbert Dingle to understand why. He was a leading proponent of SR. He knew all of the leading scientists of the day and he was a distinguished physicist himself. He wrote textbooks on the subject that were considered seminal on the subject matter. Yet one day he woke up and realized just how flawed the theory is. You need to read the book to understand why.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Science-at-Crossroads-Herbert-Dingle/dp/8897527442/

Einstein simply decreed the speed of light is constant in a vacuum. He didn't prove it. He did so for two reasons

1. To preserve the Maxwell equations of electromagnetic wave propagation that required C to be a constant

2. To account for the null result of the Michelson-Morley series of experiments that failed to detect the ether wind as the Earth supposedly orbits the sun at the supposed incredible speed of 30 Km/second.

So essentially he saved both of the above by simply stating by diktat that C is constant in every frame of reference. So you cannot measure the Earth's speed around the Sun using an interferometer to measure the difference between two orthogonal light beams.

Another consequence of this baloney of course is the disappearance of the Ether which is why we end up with more and more nonsense - SR, GR, and Quantum Mechanics leading to String theory, multiple universes, black holes, white holes, wormholes, dark matter, dark energy etc, etc. All of these things are mathematical abstractions and do not exist.

Then we have this

"The microbial bandits started taking over cells, destroying them, stealing, breeding, and feasting like the classic occupying thieves. When the cells of John Doe’s body wanted food, they had no good food because the parasites had eaten the good food—and so John’s cells were left with toxic scraps, at best. Furthermore, the bandits infiltrated (literally) some of the immune cells, and the infiltrated immune cells started helping the bandits proliferate as opposed to fighting for John Doe."

There is no evidence that any microorganisms invade cells and then start breeding. This is all fantasy once more. The viral model is simply made up. The problem with genetics and virology is that the data is collected outside of the body in vitro. What happens in the body is incredibly difficult to investigate because we do not possess the technology to observe cell behavior in real-time. A simpleton can understand why you cannot derive inferences from samples that you have curated in a petri dish. In all cases not only are toxic chemicals added to them beforehand but they are also spun through centrifuges operating at thousands of revolutions per second. Think about that for a minute.

People like myself who know genetics and virology are Rockefeller-inspired cargo cult sciences dispute the notion that bacteria and viruses invade cells and replicate. This is a very specific claim. There is no evidence to support the idea of the replication of deadly pathogens within a cell. There is also no evidence for the existence of an immune system or antibodies. These are terms used by non-scientists who should stick to art.

Real science is precise. It thrives off experimentation.

I finish with a quote from Nikolas Tesla

"Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles, and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists.”

Who am I to argue with a real genius?

I don't think it is even necessary to poke holes in relativity (although I agree that it is highly questionable and very likely fiction) to question the existence of nuclear bombs. We know what happens when too much fissile material is in one place - it heats up and melts down. We have observed this on numerous occasions now.

What it doesn't do, or at least no-one has ever explained how, is explode.

By way of analogy, we can set fire to wood. It burns nicely and keeps us warm. But it does not explode. We are told that, by a super secret and fiendishly complex process, fissile uranium can be concentrated to "weapons grade" and then turned into a bomb. The problem is that we are told this by a bunch of pathological liars, who have both politicked extensively and profited handsomely on the basis of this particular narrative. So why should we believe them?

I had one say that I had to embrace the Pathogen Deniers Club to end the Covid totalitarianism. I strongly disagreed.

The Big Lie was that everyone was a potential carrier of the Plague of the Century. Assuming there was a real sickness, fewer than 1 in 1000 died (having their lungs blown out and/or Fauci's drugs causing organ failure shouldn't count.) Till 2020 it was understood that respiratory illnesses were NOT spread by the asymptomatic.

2020 was about denying all medical science in the centuries before and how real epidemics were handled in the past. So much gas lighting!

Did the peasants "hunker down" in their huts for months on end, as the Black Death ravaged Europe? If they had, it's likely no one would have survived since the famine would finish whoever the plague left.

I don't think the "no virus" people are maintaining that there aren't any pathogens in existence. From my reading, they maintain only that "viruses' don't exist. It's an important distinction. From what I can see, the no-virus people are less combative than the germ-theory people, since the no-virus folks don't have much to lose (other than their medical licenses, income, jobs, reputation), whereas the germ-theory (and specifically virologists) have a lot to lose if virology turns out to be a fraudulent discipline. I do agree, though, that, much like other issues on which we are encouraged by media and others to fight each other over, it would be more helpful if the two "sides" could work more closely together. I suppose that's true of all of us.

Thank you so much, Joe!

I have heard different opinions expressed, including a militant opinion that contagion as such is a psyop, which I think is a rather inaccurate opinion and potentially super unhelpful, and that's regardless of what one thinks about viruses. People can and do get sick from molds, parasites, bacteria, at the very least, and when people need help, it is important to address both the "terrain" and the "germs," this has been my observation. But regardless of what each of thinks about any matter of science, it is still possible to treat each other with respect! Hugs!

I'm not convinced that this - "steer you into a simple binary" is what is ocurring though.

Obviously I haven't read every article by every proponent of either theory - but what I see is two camps which I would characterize as follows.

Camp A - viruses. This is the mainstream narrative which has dominated public discourse for the last forty years or so (as an aside - when I was at high school in the early 80s, viruses were still thought of - at least by my biology teacher - as merely a questionable hypothesis). People in this camp tend to be dogmatic and insist that their theory is correct.

Camp B - viruses are BS. This is the counter narrative which asserts that there is very little evidence for the virus hypothesis, and importantly that

(a) experiments which should have provided evidence have all failed

(b) viruses, if they really existed, should be easy to prove. The fact that no such proof exists is therefore strong evidence against viruses.

This camp often, to one degree or another, suggests that terrain theory is a possible alternative explanation but I have not - in general - found that they insist on this. What they do insist on is merely that the evidence for the existence of viruses is absent - which seems - at least to me - to be true. The consequence of this is that "experts" who insist that virus theory is correct are (very) likely frauds and liars.

Casual followers of the debate - as opposed to experts - can be forgiven for being on the fence. I have to forgive them because this was my position for some time before I invested the time and energy to look into the arguments more deeply.

I land somewhere in the middle on this whole Germ and Terrain thing. (It sounds like you do as well Tessa). Heaven knows there's *something* going on out there. People didn't used to get sick the way they do now, but can we discount the insane amount of chemicals in the food, water, and medicines that people are taking? Can we discount the EMF and other radiation that we are being bathed in daily? I always say we should be looking at *everything* and not demanding that one "side" is the only side. It's this kind of thinking that has put us right where they want us... fighting with one another instead of pointing our fingers at the ones meddling with our food, medicine, air, and climate. We *must* start coming together and having rational discussions about all of this stuff and we should be doing the *real* science necessary to find out what the hell is going on. Thanks for always being on the front lines of all of this stuff Tessa!

Thank you, Jean-Baptiste! Indeed, oil of oregano is untifungal and antiparasitic, I am learning about herbs and my understanding is that it needs to be used carefully, and it is not for everyone / all occasions. There is a number of oils and herbs that are similar in action but I think for each person and each occasion, the "recipe" is a little different.

Yes, each form of non-druggist medicine is a complex art and science in its own right. You can't just throw something at something and hope it hits. We have an understanding that every single intervention causes a downstream cascade of reactions that may or may not end up in a healthy place if we trigger the wrong downstream cascade. But the reality is that holistic treatments are also failing now with long covid and long vax because we are no longer dealing with "natural" diseases which respond to "natural" cures. We are dealing with man-made cross-domain monstrosities which nothing in nature is designed to address. In the same way that some drugs have been "re-purposed" to address "covid", we also have to "re-purpose" natural therapeutics and combine them into novel protocols designed to deal with each component of the cross-domain invader. Currently, we are following the lead of the re-purposed drugs, which are all anti-parasitics, and so experimenting with developing strong and complex anti-parasitic protocols designed to deal with each aspect of what I am calling "the frankenbugs".

But you don’t want to wipe out all gut flora. You want to help your body return to a state of balance, harmony. If the tools are there, nutrients, minerals ect. This will happen without any knowing on the person’s part. When symptoms arise, your body is telling you that perhaps something, or many somethings are missing. Bacteria do not cause disease. They are the effect of disease. They are called upon to clean up dead tissue. Why would you kill them. I don’t believe in the concept of bad ants good bacteria. We know bacteria are pleomorphic. Could it be that bacteria change shape and do what needs being done? Then go back to there normal state?

You are absolutely correct. This is why I recommend taking heavy probiotics while using it regularly. Along with plenty of fermented foods. It has to "cycled" days on and off for most. I'm hardcore I go all in. Haven't been to a doctor in 25 years except for stiches.

In the case of John Doe, his problem is intracellular parasites, who are known to try wreaking tremendous havoc and cause a wide range of problems. Oregano is reported to have antiparasitic properties but it seems like it also depletes bifidobacteria, and that to me is noy great as robust biidobacteria are good for us, they play a very big role in healthy immunity. I am actually very curious about this conversation, I was suspicious about high concentration oregano for some time, and thanks to Jean-baptiste, I looked into its interaction with bifidobacteria, and now I know why I have had reservations about it despite its proven antifungal / antimicrobial qualities.

The either-or paradigm is obviously destructive to health when you look at long term outcomes, QoL and longevity. But the governments that implemented publicly funded health care stick to the germ only paradigm and punish the medics that don't. The public generally wants the publicly funded care with the free drugs, and doesn't trust the integrative one that isn't funded or government-approved and regulated. Unfunded inclusive care like orthomolecular nutriceuticals, homeopathy, bodywork, herbal and frequency treatment gets trashed like crazy in the media and entertainment industry - just watch a couple episodes of House and you'll see what I mean. But the never-well patients that choose to get the unregulated no-drug, no-lab-test, terrain-only care at their own expense, as an alternative to their narrow-minded, miseducated, won't-listen, funded doctor who just wants them jabbed, mammogrammed, and on statins, metformin and hypertension drugs, are often not made better either. We need to consider both - Plus the spiritual aspect. But how you gonna regulate and fund Love in health care?

It's an odd paper, because everybody knows that fibrin is part of blood clots, and that is how we all think of it. If you keep blood from clotting you bleed out, including from infections.

Expand full comment

Blood coagulation, hardened clots and arterial plaques all involve different treatment modes.

Heparin, a blood-thinner, helps prevent clots, but does not dissolve clots.

Fibrinolytics, like Streptokinase may dissolve fresh clots, for instance in treating a fresh and developing heart attack, by dissolving the clot to open the artery. This is now done with fresh and forming ischemic strokes, also.

Hardened plaques in arteries are different still. It is rare that treatments reduce them in a person over a year or more, and quite variable between patients. They may be treated surgically, as in coronary arterial bypass grafting.

I am looking into theoretical aspects of serrapeptase, I like its practical aspects but I always like to understand the mechanism, etc. It is reported to dissolve clots and plaque due to its affinity to non-living protein.
