Going Viral
Hubba hubba hubba, who do you trust?
UPDATE 10APR24: as if viral boogymen weren’t silly enough, we now have “virus-like entities” called viroids and obelisks. Do we smell a narradigm forming?
UPDATE 12APR24: don’t suppose “bird flu” would have anything to do with the way the animals are treated on corporate farms?
I grew up on a farm with 400 head of cattle, a dozen goats, a half-dozen sheep, three horses, and uncountable chickens, guinea hens, rabbits, turtles, snakes, fish, and the occasional armadillo.
When the animals got sick, the vet didn’t recommend drugs. That would be outrageously expensive and a major undertaking to isolate and inject 400 cows, much less all the other animals. Instead, he would formulate a mixture of vitamins and minerals to be added to water tanks and feed — usually cotton seed hulls with molasses, which is like candy to a cow. I don’t remember which vitamins and minerals, but it worked 100% of the time, and it was cheap and easy to administer.
We never vaccinated the animals and the closest they ever got to medication of any kind was dusting for parasites and the occasional iodine for cuts and abrasions. I followed the same basic wisdom raising my children. I had epic battles with doctors, child enslavement services, and school busy-bodies, but I won in the end. The kids turned out quite healthy, with no allergies. A round of chicken pox and scabies were the worst they suffered. We all took our supplements and washed them down with dechlorinated, defluoridated water.
I do have some medical background. I spent more than five years working at some of the top hospitals, research centers and medical schools in the world. My job was audio/visual support and video production for training doctors and surgeons. I am a certified Biomedical Photographer, which means I audited a graduate level human anatomy course on a Pass/Fail basis, and I passed.
I’ve sat through hundreds of Grand Rounds and Continuing Medical Education lectures, and created dozens of training videos on surgical procedures and experimental interventions, including an early research program on the use of virus “shells” to insert mRNA containing the Wild p53 gene into tumor cells.
I don’t claim to be an expert by any means, other than in my ability to create a training video for any topic you want. I do, however, claim to be able to read papers and studies by medical professionals and understand a good deal of what they are discussing. In other words, I speaka da lingo.
With the foregoing as preamble, I am not convinced viruses exist as natural pathogens, and I am growing more skeptical with each passing day.
There’s an excellent video well worth two hours of your time. I have been systematically hunting down and verifying the citations in the video, and so far they check out. I can also verify the isolation process described in the video, as I’ve witnessed it first hand, as part of the aforementioned Wild p53fTherapy video I produced back in the mid-1990s.
What it all boils down to, is that all illnesses — including cancer — are opportunistic infections from parasites, bacteria, fungi/molds, environmental toxins, and/or imbalances in the immune system due to lack of specific vitamins and minerals. My view is that environmental toxins and fungi/molds are probably the worst offenders.
For example, can you distinguish the symptoms of a common cold and hay fever allergies? Both are associated with changing seasons — vitamin deficiencies due to changing sunlight exposure — with the latter having the proximal release of pollen and mold spores. How about spotting the difference between eczema and fungal skin infections?
In both examples, the symptoms are more or less identical, with one attributed to viruses and the other to environmental causes. In all cases, they are treatable with vitamins and minerals administered internally or topically.
Here’s another issue, and one that is primary to my personal rejection of virology: there are precisely zero images of viruses in actual cells. None. There are a lot of papers discussing methods for producing these types of images, but the papers do not include any examples. The most commonly cited reason is that viruses are so small they cannot be imaged, though we are told that viruses hijack cells, produce thousands of replicas of themselves, and eventually burst out to repeat the cycle elsewhere. No images.
Back in high school biology class, we routinely looked at skin cells, blood cells, onion sIkin cells, bacteria, amoeba, and all kinds of other cells. With a drop of iodine and polarized light, we could even make out some of the organelles, like mitochondria and nuclei.
There are 3-D images of real cells with internal structures visible. There are images of actual DNA, keeping in mind that viruses supposedly contain strands of RNA and DNA. There are even images of actual ATOMS, keeping in mind that viruses are composed of MILLIONS of atoms. Yet, for some reason, gosh darn it, we just can’t seem to image viruses in actual living cells.
To be fair, there are images of actual viruses, but once they get into an actual living creature, they become elusive little critters. Furthermore, pictures don’t prove that they are environmental pathogens, only that certain laboratory processes (chemical cooking) cause them to appear.
One more balloon to pop — PCR tests prove absolutely nothing. A PCR test is essentially having a 1,000-piece puzzle and assembling it to look like the picture on the box. I can literally make up any RNA or DNA sequence I can imagine and use that as the picture on the box. Then I tell the test to use random bits of genetic material in a chemical soup to build copies of my model. No part of the test tells me that my model was ever present in the chemical soup, only that the pieces were there to create the picture on the box.
I know what PCR tests can and cannot do, because I made a training video for lab technicians about when, how and why to use the tests.
In the end, there is absolutely no irrefutable proof that natural self-replicating pathogens made of little balls of protein, fat and sugar are floating around on the breeze waiting to land in your sinuses and take over your body. None. Zero. Nihil. Nichts. It’s all speculation based on circumstantial evidence, which itself may likely be the literal ashes of chemical cooking of cow livers, monkey kidneys and diseased human lungs.
I don’t want you, Dear Reader, to believe anything I say. Tear this article apart. Go check the citations and investigate the minutae. It’s important, because all signs point to the bastids ramping up for another run at the Frankenflu Damnpanic, and there very well may be real illness involved, but I don’t think it will be any virus causing it.
Remember that scene from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” where Richard Dreyfuss and Melinda Dillon are driving through the Wyoming back country looking at hundreds of dead cows? Remember how the cows got dead? Who’s to say the bastids wouldn’t scale that up to herd us? It’s vital that we see through the lies armed with facts.
It’s a matter of life and death.

Rufus: Good article. Viruses are bullshit. I still don't have any hair on my palms and I haven't gone blind. I hope the cattle treated you well.
Cotton hulls and molasses is pretty much your standard fair at State Fairs. It's also served in nursing homes to the elderly. It's cheap.
You are an educated man. This means you are dangerous. Be careful.
The simple fact that everything living survived until medicine became industrial is proof positive that it was created to make money rather than to make anything healthier.
