Well researched as usual, it warrants a larger audience. Somehow I've always known (felt) that medicine (including vitamins and natural remedies) or medical intervention was mostly unnecessary, it just seemed unnatural to me. I've always held the belief in mind over matter.

I've taken the long way round Harvey's barn to come to the same conclusion. Voltaire said medicine was to 'amuse the patient while nature cures the disease.' Thanks for reading.

What are you doing to my perception of modern medicine! Thank you for this. Jaws in Spanish is fauces haha.

Modern medicine was a head-fry for me too at first. I'm just a li'l tugboat tryin'a help turn the big ship around.

Hi my friend Lizzie, usually I listen to a version of ambient cyberpunk

or something like Stellardrone as a noise curtain. But if I have the Silence option I will take it 99 times out of 100. Thanks for reading. :)

Wonderful writing. I am quite new to the topic but have worked my way through Dissolving Illusions, Turtles All The Way Down, Virus Mania, the Viral Delusion series, Terrain the movie, loads of pods and started my most recent Can You Catch A Cold? by Dan Roytas, recently interviewed by Sam Bailey then Tom Cowan which were excellent. You have introduced me to some interesting angles here in this fascinating journey. And you reminded me of something a professor told us at university in the 90s - I majored in Spanish philology with applied linguistics - about the etymology of “malaria”, which supposedly came from “mal aire”, Spanish for “bad air”, which was the conquistadores’ explanation for why so many of their crewmen were being struck down.

Per my comment on the other stack, the printed Merck Manual defined viruses as “the tiniest of parasites” from the 10th edition in 1961 to the current 20th edition published in 2018. I find this yet another curious angle, which I include in the interests of diversity of ideas. However, that the beast system would do such a thing, along with all the other endless acts of deceit, corruption, esoterica, psychogenesis, iatrogenesis, farmakeia, magick and eugenics masquerading as a medical industrial complex to sow chaos and occlude fundamental health truths from reaching us is not lost on me. Here are the 10 editions - allegedly - with each definition shown:

Great comment. I don't know any of the films/names you mention (but did get halfway through House of Numbers which was very interesting).

Regarding the Merck manual and viruses as parasites, my humble opinion would be 'extremely unlikely' to 'Oh those blasted marketing scoundrels'.

A virus as "a biological reaction to assist the reconstruction of organs and tissues deriving from the ectoderm" doesn't require gargantuan profits for shareholders.

Wormwood is good for parasites, as are certain oils, iodine, high-dose ascorbic acid, basil, oregano, thyme and methylene blue. Good diet & clean water means parasites - even if they *did* cause a virus - couldn't get a foothold to create an imbalance in the first place.

I liked your malaria example. Officially the conquistadors "spread infectious diseases" including smallpox, influenza, and typhus.

Malaria is as good as any of these examples; it has general symptoms, eg. fever, nausea, headaches and when more severe - jaundice - but each symptom can be attributed to what Hamer calls a territorial anger/loss/fright conflict; these days it's related to travellers in new territories a few weeks into a trip. (The sufferer is removed from a conflict at home so the healing symptoms show up abroad). Understanding malaria involves the pancreas and liver; easiest to link to the page on jaundice and what causes it: https://learninggnm.com/SBS/documents/liver.html#Bile_Ducts_PCL

I might add that when I first started looking in to GNM it sounded almost obnoxious, like someone made it up as a very weird and thorough time-wasting joke. 8 years later I see why instigator Hamer was locked up and maligned so heavily, but it takes a while to understand its paradoxically complex simplicity. (That said I don't agree with 100% of his belief system.)

Back to conquistadors, the active principle to trigger territorial loss/anger-related diseases was precisely "the indigenous inhabitant's land was invaded by the conquistadors."

It's happening to westerners now too, leading to territorial and death-fright conflicts in the general population (affecting lungs, liver, pancreas etc.), thus we see how easily invasion could be said to have *also* caused the 1900's wars' Spanish Flu and Typhoid epidemics.

As foreigners suddenly flourish in our own countries it's good to be conscious of these effects, to know what to expect after its resolution - or note a developing chronic condition if it doesn't resolve. An invasion needn't be violent to kick a biological relay in to action.

Diseases like small-pox relate to the skin, caused by an attack or separation conflict which can be figurative or literal. Death by smallpox usually occurred from pneumonia, generated by additional territorial fear and existence conflicts. There is a deep, beautiful logic to GNM but it points a gun in the face of the merchant industrial complex which is beyond awkward.

And last but not least, modern drugs are a bigger problem than we give them credit for.

Hydroxychloroquine has side-effects which can mimic a bad disease unto itself. There were too many to list incl. suicidal ideation, so here's a link: https://www.drugwatch.com/hydroxychloroquine/side-effects/

Thanks for the opportunity to expand on the ideas. :)

Very well said. Perhaps you would enjoy the musings of Günther Enderlein. >>>

Excerpted from Günther Enderlein - Wikipedia:

“In 1925, Enderlein published his main work: Bakterien-Cyklogenie. He developed not only a complex hypothesis, but he created also his own terminology that makes reading his papers difficult. He stated that small, harmless, beneficial herbal particles were present in every animal or plant which may transform into larger pathogenic bacteria or fungi under certain circumstances. The smallest particles are called protits, symbionts, or endobionts. Protits are, according to Enderlein, small colloids of proteins, sized between 1 and 10 nm. Enderlein distinguished between acid and alkaline symbionts. These particles are able to be transmitted via the placenta before birth.”

Also: “A disturbance of the symbiotic, friendly coexistence between the smaller particles and the larger organism would start a dangerous situation he called mochlosis that leads at the end to a disease, facilitated by a wrong way of thinking and living. In such a case, he speaks about an increase of valenz. The most primitive protits would build up one-dimensional chains, called filits. These filits may build up a two-dimensional and later three-dimensional net of filits, but this only at a pH greater than 7.3. In a healthy environment, such a filit net may never build up. The filit nets lead to larger a particle: the symprotits, and later the chondrits. Chondrits are about the size of a virus: 15-300 nm. Enderlein claimed that they are visible with dark field microscopy. If this process continues, we will observe larger particles called mychits, or bacteria-nuclei, forming the basis of a bacterium.”

It is worth considering Mr. Enderlein’s works, as modern science has discounted many of his studies and theorems. >>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnther_Enderlein
