The Dangers and Absurdities of Disease Eradication.
John Bradley
It is unfortunate that in order to discuss the above I have to ask that you make , temporarily , two assumptions that undermine the structure of orthodox medicine. So at this point I take leave of rationalist and sceptic alike. First I ask that you accept the existence of a non locatable and non material vitality that inhabits the human body and when that Vitality ( or life force) leaves that body it is dead
So it follows from the above that illness has its root in a flaw or fault in the vitality. Usually a hereditary flaw. Such illnesses normally manifest themselves as functional deviations in the first place. It may show up as a vague functional malaise and be self curing. It is , however, always a signal that some change is taking place in the vitality and if that change is not easily managed by the Vitality then pathology starts to arise in order to give vent to the internal pressures built up by the illness.
However as the illness originated at the level where the life force or vitality operates , it is best cured by a therapy that operates at an energy level rather than at a material/ chemical level. Such energy level therapies include Acupuncture , Healing, (where the life force of the healer is in direct contact with the life force of the patient ) Homeopathy ( in the higher potencies ) Reflexology etc. with regard to the second assumption I ask you to accept that humanity is an experimental mode of the genetic material. A very successful experiment at the moment, but in their time so were the dinosaurs. It is after all , the genetic material that determines if a cell becomes a tree, a bacteria, a virus, a protozoa or a human being.
Without the genetic material organic life as we know it cannot exist. Under the spur of survival at all costs the genetic material has evolved into many differing species and beneficial mutations are occurring all around as the genes attempt to keep pace with the effect we have on the environment. I would expect that , in view of a possible nuclear holocaust there is even genetic material of some kind that has taken up residence inside nuclear reactors. Thus ensuring that , while life as we know it may be wiped out by nuclear radiation, the basic form of life will survive even that event . We then have to accept that at some energy level there is a combination of energy ( life force) and material ( genes) that allows an interaction between energy and material, E = mc2 as the physicists would have it .
I merely wish to translate this concept into the realm of medicine. As we of the human race and those diseases, viruses, bacteria, protozoa etc. that seem to seek to destroy us , are all in fact part of the same basic life system or ecology, it follows that any measure conceived on one side of the equation will balance out on the other , quite rapidly even if not immediately.
The seven varieties of Candida Albicans have shown that ".. Rapid switching from one form to another is triggered by challengers whether by sun light , chemotherapy or environmental circumstances. Yeast's merely weigh the odds and switch into the form most likely to survive. " It is also well known that the various forms of syphilis act in a similar manner ( Venereological Medicine; Wilcox & Wilcox ) . In morphological terms it is almost impossible to distinguish between Yaws, Pinta, Endemic Syphilis and Virulent Syphilis . Once inside the body syphilis can come to terms with the immune system and by slowing down its replication rate it can become avirulent . In effect it becomes what is now labeled as a slow virus , like "Kuru" [A.I.D.S. falls into this increasing group ].
In fact it would appear that various organisms, virus, protozoa, yeast's etc. are adopting the survival mechanism of slow replication and avirulence to avoid the challenge represented by antibiotics. The antibiotic challenge can , of course, be responded to by the various organisms in an entirely different fashion. An altogether more aggressive response. Those that follow this course become Superbugs" such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) . This superbug originated in Australia in the I970's (Observer 3I/8/86) and is an ever present danger to hospital patients , whatever their illness.
Tubercular Dinosaur bones have been discovered showing that tuberculosis was around millions of years ago. Wherever there is extreme poverty and social pressure individuals begin to develop tuberculosis and while the pulmonary form is the one that is most feared TB has many forms from the spinal deformity ( hunchback) known as Potts Disease to LUPUS.






One thing is certain that Tuberculosis rarely develops among the wealthy , well fed and well housed populace. This is due to the fact that their high Vitality or Life Force holds it in check. Such a high Vitality or life force will also defend the body against the worst consequences of most infections, venereal diseases and A.I.D.S.
The diseases that are as old or older than the Human Race are never going to be eradicated by any measure that humanity can devise. When we challenge a disease and try to eradicate it with antibiotics or other means we simply compel it to change in order to survive and that change will always reshape it to fit another chink in our armour , one that we were not aware of until the reshaped disease penetrated it.
The only way forward in a medical sense is to strengthen the vitality and to accept that we relate to nature in a symbiotic relationship as part of a whole. We of the human race should be asking ourselves where we fit into that whole so that we do not progress and wipe out
nature , in whatever form , be it virus ,yeast , protozoa or animal, but enter into a harmonious " User Friendly " relationship with all of these. Accepting that as in all epidemics some of us have to die and this is the levy placed upon us for the privilege of life.
