The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. - Maximilien Robespierre.

Book Review - What Really Makes You Ill by Dawn Lester and David Parker

Boggart Blogger, 13 October 2024

"Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing." - Voltaire.


 Having been sceptical for many decades of what we are told by “experts”, in the fields of economics, theoretical physics, social sciences and most of all medicine, of which I was mistrustful long before the COVID scamdemic. Not surprising then that the title of this bok attracted me like a magnet attracts iron. In spite of the length (750 pages) is a very interesting book with a huge amount amount of research by credible sources.

 The authors reject the medical establishment’s narrative on causes and transmission of diseases, andlean twoards the naturopathic approach to treatment, in fact the authors seem to support the beliefs of Natural Hygiene which regard all medicines as toxic.

They refute the germ theory of disease, denying that “germs”, bacteria and viruses cause disease. Their arguments derive mostly from old controversies about the work of people such as Pasteur and Jenner, claiming that the germ theory has never been proven. 

Having early in the book claimed to have shown that the germ theory is erroneous they repeat this assertion at every opportunity. Most of us have the experience of “catching” a cold from a person who already has one or getting ratummy bug from a dudgy curry or burger. We are that is going around and no other explanation has been offered for how illnesses spread.
The work of all modern medical research is rejected and they use the phrase “nothing could be further from the truth,” when discussing the claims of the medical establishment, forgetting that repetition is the tool of propagandists.

They do speak a lot about environmental poisons which of course may be a cause of disease and much of what they say about these is interesting and relevant.

The authors back up the central claim of this book that what are understood as "pathogens" are analogous to firefighters at the scene of the incident. Just as fireman don't start fires, bacteria and viruses are the effects of physical disorders rather than the cause. The bottom line is that chemical toxicity in the environment is the cause of oxidative stress which is the cause of disease. And disease itself might have several co-factors. This is quite a paradigm shift from the narratives favoured by governments, health agencies and the medical professions. Vested interests however like the pathogenic paradigm as it allows them to use the familiar scaremongering tactics to seel their products to that sector of the population who have fallen for the latest '\existential treat to all humanity' scare story .

A lot of work has gone into researching and writing this book.The authors are very knowledgeable and fulfil what Jim Marrs described as the lack of "generalists" in tackling the world's big issues.

There are holes in our understanding of how bacteria create disease, and it’s fair to point those out. There are even bigger holes in viral theory, which do deserve to be exposed. The field has forgotten it’s virus theory , not virus law. There are few firm answers and much that is tenuous or even quite false being passed off as ‘fact’..

However the terrain theory lobby just goes way too far in dumping empirical observation and research.

Firstly they conflate virus theory and bacterial infection into one and call it “germ theory”.

Terrible method and deeply misleading. The role of bacteria in causing disease is well observed if not fully explained or replicable. Antibiotics work to cure certain disease processes by killing bacteria associated with that process. Ergo we have empirical observation that certain bacteria play a role in creating certain diseases.

It makes no sense to throw that out simply because we can’t explain exactly what that process is or necessarily replicate it. It makes even less sense to replace this empirical knowledge with “terrain theory” which has far LESS data to support it!

Virology is a different and much less robustly supported game, which is why conflating it with bacteriology is so misleading and such poor sloppy method.  The book rightly points out the need to differentiate between virus theory which is rather weak, according to medical science they can only exist and replicate within a pre - existing cell and none has ever been isolated; and bacteria which definitely exist, can be cultured. The association with with certain disease processes is well established, though not their precise role in that process. The fact antibiotics can combat those disease processes and also kill the bacteria is well established.

The fact we can’t replicate or fully explain the role of bacteria doesn’t mean we can afford to ignore what we do know. Certain bacteria are associated with developing certain diseases or pathologies. Kill the bacteria, and the disease/pathology is also halted. Empirical observation tells us this is true even though we don’t know the entire mechanism and can’t necessarily replicate it.

Now, viruses. Tricky. The fact people get sick when exposed to other sick people has been an empirical fact for centuries – longer.

Some of that can be explained by some process involving bacteria. But other diseases manifest that have no observable connection with bacteria.

Another “transmission” process seems to be involved. Viruses have been postulated as that means.

It’s a plausible hypothesis that may be true or partly true, but which has become prematurely accepted as “the truth”.

We evidently know so little about why people get sick when exposed to other sick people and so many potential variables make replication in living creatures almost impossible.But then, we learn, the scientific jury is still out over whether viruses are life forms or not.

What Really Makes Us Ill gives us all food for though but does not provide many definite answers, the important thing for most readers is that it will make them think seriously about how far we can trust the pharmaceutical industry and the medical professsions. Once people start to question they will probaly come to the conclusion quite quickly that it is unwise to trust anyone who says "Trust me, I'm a doctor."

Germs Are Not Your Enemies & Over Sanitization Will Weaken Your Immune System

 from Great Game India

We are surrounded by microbes. They are everywhere – the air we breathe, the surfaces we touch. Some of them are harmful, but still the vast majority of them are harmless. We all co-exist. The health of our bodies and microbiomes may depend on society’s return to lifestyles that expose us to bacteria, despite the risks. Germs are not your enemies, they are your friends, and over sanitization will weaken your immune system.

Germs Are Not Your Enemies & Over Sanitization Will Weaken Your Immune System

It has been more than a century that scientists learned that microscopic germs can cause illness. Since then we tend to disinfect things. The same was told to us at the beginning of this pandemic outbreak.

But after studying coronavirus it was found that chances of surface transmissions are very low. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention only recently pegged it at generally less than one in 10,000.

But now we have been forced into the habit of disinfecting things and trying to kill microbes most of which are not even harmful. Scientists are worried that this habit may impact the human microbiome.

We are made to live with germs and microbes. As not all of them are harmful, some of them are friendly microbes. So by practicing excessive hygienic practises and sterilizing our bodies, we are in a way weakening our immune system. ... Continue reading >>>

Antibiotic-resistant diseases pose existential threat to humanity threat, top expert says
For 80 years antibiotics have helped us to fight disease. But bacteria are growing resistant – so it's time we stopped treating winter colds with such a powerful weapon as antibiotics.

Microbiologists have likened this impending crisis in healthcare to climate change. Antibiotics are becoming less effective, and quickly.
