A short lament about the theory of disease
Plus an update on my "parasites" page
In response to readers’ requests, I added PDFs to all of my Dr. Mercola articles listed on my Parasites page. You can also find those articles on Dr. Mercola’s main website, his archive seems to be back up without a paywall.
(There's more to my page than just parasites but it does have a lot of info about under-the-radar parasites, especially intracellular parasites. I put a lot of time and honest thinking into this, connected many dots, and some of my conclusions are unique and, I believe, most likely correct. :)
On a side note, I am just amazed by how the mechanistic view of life is preventing so many superbly-educated experts from seeing the obvious, i.e. that many “mysterious” syndromes are not mysterious or random but poorly diagnosed.
Our bodies are universes of life. There is a lot of life happening inside us—largely unknown to us—and if the balance is off due to a combination of factors, adversarial / opportunistic living beings may raise their heads and start invading and wreaking havoc. Yes, there are mechanical factors like toxins and EMFs, of course there are! Yes, it is very possible that without those additional factors, our natural immunity would not allow any adversarial bugs to raise heads—but we live in the real world, not in an imaginary world!
What if the body does not just go crazy and start doing crazy things for no reason (“metabolic disorders,” “autoimmune disorders,” “abnormal protein deposits / folding,” etc.)? What if the body is reacting very logically to something—and that something may often be not mechanical but alive?
For instance, let’s take the amyloid deposits in the brain, the so called “signature of Alzheimer’s disease.” (See my article about AD on the Parasites page.) Yeah the body just starts malfunctioning and depositing crazy amounts of proteins in crazy places for no reason …. in what world? Why not give the body some credit for actually trying to solve a problem?
And what if the problem could be an invasion by adversarial bugs who try to destroy the cells of, in this case, the brain, and so the body tries to fight back and repair itself, and those protein deposits are like scars, with potentially many other immunity-enhancing functions that we don’t yet completely understand?
And what about those “type 2 diabetes ulcers”? My inner five-year-old is thinking out loud here… what if “high blood sugar” is a consequence of something else and not the primary cause?
This 2018 paper below sums up the practical state of medical science pretty well:
Currently, both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes can be diagnosed with certainly only based on the autopsy results.
(SOURCE)
Translation: Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes are industry words to describe a biomarker in a mechanical way, without actually knowing anything about what has caused the disease.
And here is another example of a science paper that my inner five-year-old can make shorter. Here is my rendition of the paper: “In most cases, we don’t quite know how to reliably and definitively identify the presence of microbes, all we do is guess, but hey, when we wrap our guesses in fancy technical terms, they sound convincing, etc…”
My unstoppable curious inner five-year-old continues: How many “mysterious syndromes” are there where people have multiple issues, like neurological issues, unusual sensitivities, strange inflammation, rashes or ulcers, digestion problems, brain fog, irritability, etc. all at once.?
I talked about this in my earlier interview with Marc Girardot, he thinks it’s because of the bolus, and I think that it’s likely because of a combination of factors with infections holding a strong position among those factors, and individual circumstances varying case by case.
And sure, continuous exposure to poisons, electromagnetic noise, gene therapy, too much stress, and a general lack of joy would weaken the body and make it easier for adversarial / opportunistic creatures to do their not-so-great thing. And of course, gene therapy can confuse the body into doing strange things! Yes, yes, the world is complex! Yes, there are usually multiple factors at play, and the factors are likely unique to each person—but at the end of the day, if one wants to be healthy, the point is not to argue about the exclusivity status of any of those routes of disease—but to make the best guess for each person needing help and do things that help the most! Doh!
Imbalances may come from emotional / spiritual brokenness, or from exposures to toxins, or from infections, all of those things may come into play. Imbalances may even be a result of the soul’s prior spiritual choice to explore a particular problem and find solutions that would benefit the person and the world (here is a positive way to look at things—and I think it’s an accurate way to look at things, too).
So why argue about which of those routes is the correctest? Who is to win from dogma? Certainly not the person who wants to be healthy! And certainly not the world because the world is too complex for there to be one answer to the question “what causes disease.”
PS. if you are of the opinion that “contagion does not exist,” we disagree but I still like you. The entire point of human existence is to explore and to draw conclusions about the world from the inside. I am not subscribed to calling people traitors for disagreeing. To my senses, the behavioral pattern characterized by a missionary itch (I am being witty) is a sign of one of two things: an emotional imbalance or a contract with the you know. Outside of those two conditions, we can draw our own conclusions about everything, seek the most truthful and useful understanding of the world that works for us, learn from each other, change our minds as much as we want, and be friends. :)
A note to readers: If you are in the position to do so, I very much encourage you to become a paid subscriber or donate. I love you in any case, but it helps A LOT, and I am in a dire need to get more donations and paid subscribers while keeping my posts free. Thank you from my heart for your support!
Hi Tessa, you might find this book by Forest Maready quite interesting: https://store.forrestmaready.com/collections/books-shirts-more/products/crooked
His explanations of modern diseases is quite close to yours though he restrains himself to aluminum and some antibiotics as the toxins that transforms benign infections into chronic diseases.
Anyway, thanks for sharing as always. You are a genius for the intuition you have about our modern disease. I hope the world sees it soon 🙏
Tessa, this is so well said - : ) - "To my senses, the behavioral pattern characterized by a missionary itch (I am being witty) is a sign of one of two things: an emotional imbalance or a contract with the you know.
