Take colds for instance. How is it that infants have about eight colds per year while the parents only a few? How is it that those persons isolated at observation posts in the North and South Poles ‘catch’ colds during their stay? How is it that between 1965-67 the National Institutes of Health's cold laboratories in Bethesda, Maryland conducted experiments that showed everything but con- tagion? Volunteers were swabbed daily with supposed cold "viruses" taken directly from those suffering colds, and none became ill. More in the control group developed colds, In the meantime, shortly following traditional Thanksgiving feasts, the number of colds in both groups increased dramatically as would be expected when excessively rich food and drink is consumed during holiday festivities. Venereal disease is also supposed to be contagious—but the so- called contagious factors (bacteria) are present because of the dis- ease and are not the cause of the condition (and 20 per cent or so of those suffering V.D. have neither gonococcus nor spirochetes which are said to causé it). i = Tha TTC Naens annduatnd avnasi The healthy individual with an uncontaminated, relatively pure bloodstream therefore need not be concerned nor apprehensive about "contagious disease”. We usually cannot transfer our toxic load to someone else unless it is drawn out of us (as in donating blood) and then inject- ed into another person (as in transfusion). This represents med- ically-induced contagion or iatrogenic disease, rather than those occurring within the realm of natural biological life processes. This is the true explanation of "contagion". The germ triggers, precipitates or excites the disease process in those who are tox- aemic. But in those who are not, contagion is not valid and does not exist so long as the body is pure—for it is the soil in the sys- tem that prepares the body for "contagions” by our failure to keep our body fluids and tissues clean and non-polluted.

This theory has been repeatedly demonstrated as incorrect in the scientific field, and was even admitted by Pasteur as being incorrect. Nevertheless, the germ theory and the theory of contagion are perpetuated by our modern medical system whose prestige, profits and power are largely based on belief in this erroneous theory. The belief in contagion is difficult to overcome since almost everyone's mind has been similarly ‘infected’ by exploitive ‘health care’ industries that have a vested interest in disease and suffering and in perpetuating such erroneous beliefs. Basically, the populace believes what the medical establishment wants it to, The theory of contagion maintains the demand for their drug, medical and hospital practices. If you live healthfully you will likely never suffer disease. Diseases are caused only by unhealthful lifestyle practices. Do not forget, only the drug, hospital and medical industries teach that health is recovered by administering poisonous drugs. This perhaps is one of the most prominent seeds of “contagious” disease. The bottom line is that if germs play any role in the cau- sation of disease, it is never a primary one but is always secondary to those causes that lower our resistance or impair health. Good health is the maximum insurance against all disease in all And How About Our True "Epidemics"? Furthermore, the most prevalent diseases around are not even contagious. Over 90 per cent of all Americans have plaque in their arteries, yet this is not considered contagious. (But AIDS, which is declared to be an epidemic, affects only 1/10,000th the number of people!!) Is obesity considered contagious? It affects one of every three people. How about constipation? It affects about 90 per cent of our population. And is bad eyesight which affects two of every three persons contagious? The same can be said for bad teeth, high blood pres- sure, headaches, lower back problems, etc., as these diseases are extremely widespread. More than half of all Americans have car- diovascular problems, but are they contagious? The most feared of all diseases is cancer. Is it contagious? Arthritis affects more people than herpes. Is it contagious? And how about asthma and acne? cases. 38 ¢ NEXUS OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1994
