vincent: To me and most folks immune system means the body's natural defenses against pathogens. Who gives a damn where the term came from?

The immune system is a fairy tale. Against pathogens. Right. The very things that actually cure diseases and cleans up the terrain is what you want to kill. Makes no sense.

vincent: There are more bacterial cells in our body than our own. Mostly good bacteria in our guts that digests our food for us.

Bad bacteria that hurts us exists.

I'd rather avoid the bad bacteria. Antibiotics are hell to take. But they do save lives. I had a friend who almost died of Dengue Fever in Indonesia. Only a blood transfusion saved his life.

Bacteria are pleomorphic, so they change shape according to what the terrain needs to get cleaned up. Bad bacteria is another fairy tale.

vincent: If bad bacteria is a fairy tale, what are those microscopic pictures of staff infection bacteria?

Since bacteria change shape to suit what the body's terrain needs to rid itself of toxins, we are seeing those shapes because of what they (bacteria) are trying to do. Why such shapes? I don't know.

vincent: Then how do you explain pimples?

Pimples are an outward expression (through the skin) of toxins the body is trying to get rid of. The body is brilliant. It will use all means possible to get rid of it so as not to cause harm to other parts of the body that would be in more danger of such substances. That is my understanding as to what happens.

Your body's natural defense is BACTERIA. The very thing that allopathic medicine is against. Immune system is a fairy tale, created to go along with the germ hypothesis.

You're right. Most folks don't give a damn about finding out the truth when it conflicts with what they think they have known most of their life.

vincent: Okay. I agree that clean water and good sanitation along with nutritious food and good shelter leads to better health. But the germs are gonna win someday. Bacterial infections were the #1 cause of human death for thousands of years.

Have you ever had a staff infection? I damn near died from one when I was 19.

They don't "win", they do get overrun by poison though. In order for your bacteria to handle disease, one must limit as much as possible the intake of toxins. That means cleaner living.

It's the toxins. Bacteria feed on the toxins.

vincent: Considering that there is a Great Poisoning going on in the world today, it's becoming very difficult to avoid the toxins.

I wish you well, vincent. Stay healthy and strong.

Thank you, and likewise.

It is impossible to avoid toxins, as they come at us from every direction.

It has taken me a long time to begin to understand the so called terrain theory, and how brilliant the body really is in getting heathy again, and the myriad of ways the body uses to rid itself of the onslaught.

There's so much we don't understand yet about how the body handles disease, but much of terrain theory is provable.

Not well known is that during the Spanish flu they tried and tried to prove contagion by having sick people breathe in the faces of well people (who volunteered for that because they were promised a shortened jail term) and do more disgusting things to try to prove contagion, but they never could. But that fact gets buried in the dustbin of history.

vincent: I've read about the Spanish flu and how the doctors tried to prove contagion. They even tried blood transfusions if I remember correctly. The doctors and nurses did discover that if patients were put outside in fresh air and sunlight they recovered.

Some say it was the advent of powerful radio stations at that time that set off the epidemic. The Spanish Flu has never been explained IMO.
