Subject: [H] BACTERIA/VIRUSES/?DISEASE
Something I wrote up the other day for my vaccinations email lists and my
classes.............
lots of links at the end to the history of this....................we do
not know the end of the story or the truth...............

BACTERIA/VIRUSES/?DISEASE
Hi all,
It is difficult on this list to be always addressing this issue - DO
BACTERIA or VIRUSES "CAUSE" disease???
I will try to explain when I answer emails from now on, from both
perspectives - as if they do 'cause' disease and as if they don't 'cause'
disease.
But I wanted to write up something specific and share links to other ways
of looking at this - that bacteria & viruses do NOT 'cause' disease.
Something is likely 'spread' - the energy of the illness, something
stimulating release of toxins that is healthy (the illness of chickenpox,
measles, etc). Something happens in childhood illnesses that might be very
necessary for development of the immune system - but are the bacteria or
viruses the cause?? Are they only present? Are they doing a job cleaning
up? Is the illness important as it is the body's way of getting rid of
toxins inherited and acquired in utero and early life?
I am now writing up some of my ideas about germs, viruses, disease
So, whether or not it is bacteria or viruses that are spreading something,
the fact remains that something is communicated from one to another -
somehow, someway.
And it is the susceptibility of the person, the terrain, the state of the
mind, body spirit, that matters when it comes to staying healthy or
becoming ill.
The symptoms of chickenpox exist and seem to spread through schools,
families and neighborhoods
The symptoms of measles, rubella, mumps, & pertussis, exist and seem to
spread through schools, families & neighborhoods
But does the above mean that a bacteria or virus CAUSES them? No. Does
the existence of a bacteria or virus mean that it causes it? NO. Because
they are detected to be there does not mean they CAUSED it. Just because I
am found at the scene of a car accident and am trying to help, does not
mean that I caused it. Because bacteria come to a stagnant pond and is
cleaning it up, does mean that the bacteria caused the stagnant pond. They
are there doing a job. Maybe the job is related to the illness, maybe not.
The symptoms of poliomyelitis are very different - see my
http://www.geocities.com/harpub for info on proof that polio was NOT
infectious - did not spread from contacts, but was a toxic situation
The smallpox situation is likely similar to the polio situation above.
BUT much has become invested in the germ theory and that bacteria and
viruses cause illness - an entrenched belief system that now makes lots of
money for researchers, the medical industry including doctors, hospitals,
insurance companies, drug and vaccine companies and every industry related
to these.
It will be very difficult to ever find the truth about all of this, at this
point in time. Misinterpretation & absolute lies have tainted everything
and likely we will never recover the truth until we are destroyed.
A lot of this has to do with your worldview - are we part of a world that
is purposeful and all things work to support life and health and we are
part of that world - symbiosis. OR is the world a dangerous place where
all kinds of things are out to get us. Things that are separate from us,
harmful, dangerous. US and THEM. We have been programmed, especially in
the last 100 years to fear disease and many things - it has been implanted
it into the consciousness of all of us - why has this been done? Always
look to 'who benefits' when you are questioning what someone is telling
you. This type of propaganda that produces fear of disease is about greed.
It can be used to reduce knowledge, compassion, understanding. It can be
used to cause people to separate from each other. It divides us. Maybe we
need to help the bacteria or virus (if it is doing a job) do its job more
effectively. Help instead of fight it. We have a war mentality going on
in every aspect of our life - fight it. This goes back, in part, to the
time of Descartes (& before) - separation of the mind, body and spirit. We
are separate from the planet, we are separate from each other.
BACTERIA
I know that bacteria live on & in our bodies all the time
Many/most of those are doing a job that is important - symbiotic (mutually
beneficial) bacteria are instrumental in digestion, vitamin production, and
other good work.
a: producing vitamins (bacteria in the human gut produce vitamin K ) -
Escherichia coli (a.k.a. E. coli) lives in the gut, where it helps digest
food and produces Vitamin K
Healthy bacteria are needed to help with digestion as they produce enzymes
which, help to break down food. Some species of bacteria also produce B
Complex Vitamins and assist in their assimilation by the intestines.
Healthy bacteria also perform "house-cleaning" duties like helping to
repair the intestinal mucosa lining the intestinal walls.
b: live on our skin and protect us from many harmful agents. The drier
areas, like the back, have few microbes; moist areas, such as under the
arm, have many more
c. In the body - consume and mop up dead and decaying matter - cleaning
up toxic situation
Bacteria in some cases produce toxins while doing these jobs and these may
be what makes us sick if we are sickly all ready. Is that the bacteria's
fault? Or is that the fault of the terrain - that it is so weakened and so
sickly that it can't tolerate something normal going on in the body -
bacteria breaking down dead stuff
d. one of the indicators or symptoms that an organ or tissue is
undergoing pathogenic changes, the causes of which have little to do with
the presence or absence of the viruses or bacteria.
e. maintain our atmosphere - Cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green
algae) live in water, where they produce large amounts of the oxygen we
breathe.
f. Lactobacillus bulgaricus helps turn milk into cheese, yogurt, and
other dairy products. Lactobacillus turns lactose, the sugar in milk, into
lactic acid that wards off microbes that cause spoilage.
g. Bacillus thuringiensis is also know as "Bt." This common soil
bacterium acts as a natural pest-killer in gardens and on crops.
h. Propionibacterium freudenreichii - This bacterium produces carbon
dioxide gas bubbles that burst in ripening cheese, leaving this cheese's
trademark holes.
i. Xanthomonas campestris - produces a slimy outer couting called
xanthan. Xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in many
common products including water-based paints and cosmetics.
j. Saccharomyces is also known as Baker's Yeast because it is used to
make bread rise. This fungus also breaks down the natural sugars in grains
or other starchy ingredients into carbon dioxide and ethanol (a.k.a. alcohol).
k. Methanotrophs eat methane gas to clean up hazardous waste dumps and
landfills. These methane-munching bacteria make an enzyme that can break
down more than 250 nasty pollutants into harmless molecules. By piping
methane into the soil, we can increase growth of the methanotrophs that
normally live in the polluted soil. More methanotrophs means faster
pollution break up.
l. Acetobacter modifies glucose, making vitamin C as a by-product.
m. Arbuscular is part of a soil-living fungus family. This fungus helps
crops take up nutrients from the soil.
n. Saccharomyces carlsbergensis - This fungus breaks down the natural
sugars in grains to form ethanol and carbon dioxide (a.k.a. beer).
o. Pseudomonas cleans waste from sewage water at water treatment plants.
p. Acidophilus bacteria breaks down sugars and carbohydrates in milk,
turning it into yogurt. This process is called fermentation.
q. Bacteria are what decompose and use up dead plant and animal matter.
r. Certain species of bacteria that live on the roots of plants actually
"fix" nitrogen from the air, convert it to plant food, and feed the plants
with essential plant nutrients.
Rhizobia convert free nitrogen into a form that the plants can use in order
to grow.
s. Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt), has insecticidal properties and is used to
control plant pests.
t. The "average" American; that is, the one eating his or her daily "meat
and chemicals" diet, carries in their large intestine alone 4-4 1/2 lbs of
bacteria, or 1x10 18 , that is, more bacteria in their large intestine than
there are cells in their body!

u. maintain our atmosphere - Cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green
algae) live in water, where they produce large amounts of the oxygen we
breathe.

Here are some pages on the positive things about bacteria
http://www.microbeworld.org/know/everyday.aspx
http://www.microbeworld.org/microbes...a/default.aspx
http://www.microbeworld.org/microbes...bacterium.aspx - some of how
'they' explain differences between bacteria & viruses
Of course the above webpages buys into the idea that viruses & bacteria
'cause' disease - but that is one track that was taken back a few hundred
years ago and there are others who did not have the perspective.
******
VIRUSES
I don't know if there are such things as viruses as they have explained it
to us
If there are such things as viruses, I don't know that they 'cause' illness
in everyone
If there are such things as viruses, I don't know that they 'cause' illness
in some
If there are such things as viruses, they may be doing an important job
helping to repair DNA, etc
If there are such things as viruses & they are doing an important job, then
we aren't helping by trying to destroy them.
If there are such things as viruses, are they spread around? Is that a bad
thing? Are they doing an important job?
Are the childhood illnesses situations where the body has a chance to get
rid of toxins and disturbances inherited, acquired while in utero, acquired
at delivery and early life?
Are these viral caused? Something else that we don't understand yet - a
wave of energy, or something stimulating it.
Are they early challenges of some sort to help build the immune system -
idea that everything has a purpose on this planet and is doing a job that
is necessary - nature is not against us

INFECTIOUS ILLNESS.
Part 2
"Now, no-one in their right mind, in seeing the body of a dead mouse
covered with thousands of ants, would ever conclude that the swarm of ants
were responsible for killing the mouse. No, the ants are eating and
cleaning up and removing the decaying flesh of the already dead mouse.
Conversely, no-one on their right mind would conclude that if we pour some
insect killer on the swarm of ants in an attempt to eliminate them would
restore life to the dead mouse.
Yet, it is thought axiomatic today, in the scientific medical community,
that if evidence of the presence of viruses or bacteria are found in an
ill-person's body, that the virus or bacteria is the cause of the illness.
This is analogous to concluding that because we find a swarm of ants
consuming the body of a dead animal, the ants killed the animal."
"Therefore, finding more and more powerful antibiotics or anti-viral agents
to kill the bacteria or virus will do absolutely nothing to help promote
the revitalization and regeneration of the decaying organ or tissue being
"mopped-up" by the bacteria or virus."
