[From "The Fallacious Germ Theory"]

The Germ Theory is the belief that germs are the primal cause of disease. Nutrition and exercise play a small role, but it’s really the all-pervading germ that makes you sick. That’s why we “catch cold”, thereby expelling the responsibility outside ourselves.

With this mistaken ideology we lose our innate power to heal ourselves, what Hippocrates called vis medicatrix naturae. After all, since it was something outside of your body that made you sick. In order to get well you must also seek help from an outside force, namely vaccines and doctors in general.

Luckily we don’t live in a bizarro reality like that. We don’t “catch disease”, we create it. It is not a sick person’s fault for being sick, since they never learned how the human body actually operates, but ultimately the responsibility lies with the individual.

Germs do not cause disease. The precautions we take to eliminate germs do. These include but are not limited to: antibiotics, disinfectants, food irradiation, hand sanitizers, and vaccines which are designed to protect us from the nefarious germ. We also get sick from our compromised food supply, malnutrition, and inability to recognize what the human body needs.

When we think we “get sick”, what is really happening is our bodies are attempting to discard toxic material. “Getting sick” is allowing the body to detoxify itself from toxemia (toxic blood), which is caused by living a toxic life, as well as not absorbing the nutrients our bodies require.

Germs do not cause disease, disease causes germs. Germs are the body’s scavengers, the garbage men of your cells. If they are present that means that the conditions where they lie are unfavorable. Change the conditions of the ‘terrain’, and the germs will morph back into their healthy state.

It is easier for us to put the blame on an outside invader, thereby shifting the responsibility outside of ourselves. But health can only come from within. As Antoine Béchamp said: “Disease is born of us and in us.” That same is true for health.

The immune system is a conceptual bodily system we sort of just made up. It doesn’t actually exist, at least not in the way we think of it. The respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, nervous system, lymphatic system, etc, these are all clearly distinct systems of the human body. Where is the immune system? Can you point to it? What composes it?

[...]

What is the evidence that vaccines work?

Because after they were introduced, the incidents of these diseases declined, precipitously. But, is that, in and of it’s self, not a logical fallacy?

We’ve learned that the healthier a person is the less likely they are to get sick. This aspect of the immune system is correct, but the naming of it is all wrong. Immunity does not exist. Germs don’t invade your body and cause disease, so “building up immunity” and “strengthening your immune system” to ward off those nasty germs is a lost cause. We can only build our health by providing the body with what it needs, and steering clear of chemicals, vaccines, medicines, and other magical allopathic potions that are supposed to lead to a salubrious life, but only cause more iatrogenic deaths.

Science is like a new religion. Once originally called ‘Natural Philosophy’, this new form of worship disregards common sense for the appeal to the authority and other logical fallacies.
