Modern Mass Sickness
Modern mass sickness is basically the result of the debilitating lifestyle and eating habits of the majority of the populace. In 1948, a polio epidemic was proven to have been triggered by excess consumption of sugar, and dramatically stopped when decreased sugar consumption was encouraged by mass media campaigns. (Don't Get Stuck!). Of course, vested interests soon reversed the trend, convincing the public to go back to the old habits.
Epidemics are triggered by mass debilitating and prostrating influences, such as prolonged temperature or humidity extremes, great and general worry, fear, grief, and anxiety (war, panic). And now its found that disturbances in the electrical field of the earth may signal a pandemic event we know our bodies have electrical fields that are disturbed by magnetism, electromagnetics, radiation and so on. in any case, the most enervated and toxemic people are the first to get sick.
The first colds of early winter are not "caught" from someone else with a cold, but are developed by those who have been improperly living and eating. The added stress of cold temperature further checks elimination, adds to the general toxemia, and thus precipitates a crisis.
The more severe diseases develop in people who carry a greater amount of putrescent poisoning, and are more prevalent after holidays and feast days. The enervating excitement and indiscriminate overeating at these times produce the inevitable unwelcome results.
Why does toxemia (unhealthy conditions, deposits or toxins in the body) cause typhoid in one person and pneumonia in another? Some in natural wellness say answers will have to be found in the laws of heredity, nutrition, and environment. For example, those tissues that are most compromised offer the least resistance to toxins and are the first affected.
The more virulent diseases clearly result from the poisonous toxins in the host. That's almost anormal condition the older one gets. Toxins resulting from protein putrefaction are more virulent than those from carbohydrate fermentation. Flesh foods produce more virulent toxins than plant proteins. There is also a difference in the virulence of poisons produced by different animal proteins, and in various vegetable proteins.
Some also believe that one disease, say tonsillitis, may be the result of the less virulent plant toxins, while a worse illness such as diphtheria results from the more virulent animal toxins. In both these diseases, there is decomposition in the intestinal tract which may also sometimes cause pneumonia or meningitis or typhoid or other symptoms of disease. (Dr. Shelton's Hygienic Review, March 1972) Advocates of vaccination have never attempted to explain why it is often those who have been vaccinated who are the first to get sick, or who often contract the most virulent forms of disease.
Epidemics Explained
Why is it that some people who are exposed to those in the throes of these crises subsequently are also "laid low" while others are not? People who have maintained an internal state of cleanliness through correct habits of eating and living do not need the disease process because it cannot develop unless the toxic conditions for disease exist.
As previously indicated, different diseases are different symptom complexes arising out of reduced nerve energy and increased toxicity. Habits of living that waste nerve energy result in inhibition of secretion and excretion—and the consequent self-poisoning. The part of the organism laden with toxins is the first to react, but the effect is general—all the organs and structures of the body suffer the impairing effects.
The body functions as a unit and depends on the continuous cooperation and coordination of all its parts—if one function is disturbed, the health and integrity of the organism and all its parts and functions are affected.
Natural health tells us that the body ejects un- eliminated waste products by means of a crisis or acute disease. thus, the toxins are expelled vigorously and vicariously, or through channels not normally utilized, e.g., mucous membranes, skin, etc. Thus the disease is a process of detoxification and recovery, and is remedial and beneficial. Although it does expend great reserves of energy, it is a process of self-preservation. While undergoing the process, we feel ill. we call that illness but it is also a healing.

Although it does expend great reserves of energy, it is a process of self-preservation.
Body Toleration or Accommodation
There is a limitation to the vital resistance the body can muster against acute disease. When the organism is continually subjected to intoxicating substances (such as tobacco, coffee, drugs, etc.), the body accommodates, and the result is impaired function and chronic disease.
In general, accommodation – also known as toleration-- is thought of as beneficial, but most physiological accommodations are the opposite. The body accommodates to excessive exposure to sunlight by a deep tan, which cuts off the damaging influence of the sun. Vitamin D needed by the organisms is produced in a much reduced quantity. The skin will also become coarse and leathery because of the defensive accommodations. Normal secretions are reduced, and other departures from the ideal occur.
When calluses form on the hands as a result of manual work, this adaption is necessary—it is the body's defense against a mechanical irritant it can't escape or overcome. Such accommodations preserve life, but they are departures from the ideal.
Accommodation to smoking, drugs or other poisons imposes upon the body higher levels of toxins. The inevitable effect is the multiplication of the toxicity level, with the body actually accumulating additional toxins of its own which it cannot normally excrete. The result is disease. Epidemic diseases are the consequences of the existence of such conditions in the bodies of great numbers of people.
In today's world, it is probably not possible to achieve the degree of health that could be attained after several generations of healthful living Hygienists, we keep striving for improvement, though the true "ideal" may be unattainable.
We may have occasional crises of illness, but we must realize that sickness is not an enemy. Discomforts are our own body signals that we are doing something wrong. If we heed such signals in a timely manner, by fasting and resting, instead of waiting for a full-fledged healing crisis, we will need only a mild and brief cleansing period. If we live our lives in this manner, we do not fear so-called "contagion" and "epidemics."
Natural Health begins in the mind—with understanding. What we consume is critical, but all the other needs of life must also be met. For optimal wellness, it is necessary to get in touch with yourself and be in harmony with your biological requirements.
The True Explanation Of Contagion
"An average healthy person, with an uncontaminated bloodstream, need not be concerned or apprehensive about being subjected to a 'contagious' disease ... However, this is not true with a person of low vitality and high accumulation of metabolic waste. Bacteria or germs of such a person may be stimulated into activity by the devitalized elements upon which they thrive. When transferred to the mucous membranes or tissues of another person equally toxemic they may begin work immediately and in the same manner as on the first-carrier.
"This is a true explanation of 'contagion' and one may say that the germ precipitates the disease or excites it in the person to whom the germs are transferred ... Germs ... could be recognized as contributing factors in all toxic crises in which the localized outside area is exposed to infection or contamination. Serums or drugs will help add to the general toxic load, and instability results in serious harm, even though they" (the serums or drugs) "may apparently modify or suppress a local or general pathological process." M. O. Garten (Tomorrow's Health)
The modification or suppression of normal body function by poisoning (with serums or drugs) is another factor in this picture. Sometimes, when people are too drugged and devitalized, they cannot have the healing crisis, even though elimination of a high accumulation of wastes is necessary. Because vaccinations may so reduce vitality as to make it impossible to conduct a simple eliminative crisis, vaccinated people are said to be "immune" against the particular disease they have lost the ability to conduct. In truth, the price of their inability to dispose of the toxins at an early stage, is their accumulation and the insidious development of worse, and more serious, degenerative diseases.
The contagion that actually is prevalent is the contagion of bad habits, producing the same vulnerable and susceptible condition in great numbers of people. Such people conceivably can, through intimate contact, trigger disease symptoms in each other.

Evidence Contrary to Contagion
Among others, the Bio-Chemical Society of Toronto conducted a number of very interesting experiments in which pure cultures of typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and meningitis germs were consumed by the millions in food and drink by a group of volunteers. The results: no ill effects whatsoever.". From "The Germ Theory Reexamined" by Bob Zuraw and Bob Lewanski (Vegetarian World, Volume 3, Number 11, September-November 1977)
Numerous experiments have tried to produce various diseases by the feeding of germs, without any disease being produced. Such experiments by the U.S. Navy, again without results. Dr. Claunch says:
"These experiments, conducted under test conditions and under government supervision, with such disappointing results, should have knocked the last prop from under the germ theory. They doubtless would have done so if our government doctors had seen fit to make them public property. But alas, they did not. It would have been a great service to the people, but not good business for the doctors and serum manufacturers." Dr. S. K. Claunch, in Exploding the Germ Theory, 2. ibid. P 25
Even in the primary published literature, there are researchers who question the standard belief that influenza is contagious based on the observation that symptoms arise simultaneously around the world at a rate that can’t be explained by person to person transmission
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1292615/ Referenced by https://kellybroganmd.com
MD Kelly Brogan also offered the following reference:
“One of the most compelling studies to interrogate the assumptions around contagion and germ theory was conducted by the Public Health Service and the U.S. Navy under the supervision of Dr. Milton Rosenau in 1918 in healthy volunteers at multiple locations. His first volunteers received first one strain and then several strains of Pfeiffer’s bacillus by spray and swab into their noses and throats and then into their eyes. When that procedure failed to produce disease, others were inoculated with mixtures of other organisms isolated from the throats and noses of influenza patients. Next, some volunteers received injections of blood from influenza patients. Finally, 13 of the volunteers were taken into an influenza ward and exposed to 10 influenza patients each. Each volunteer was to shake hands with each patient, to talk with him at close range, and to permit him to cough directly into his face. None of the volunteers in these experiments developed influenza. Rosenau was clearly puzzled, and he cautioned against drawing conclusions from negative results.” His article on this subject in JAMA ends with a telling acknowledgment:
“We entered the outbreak with a notion that we knew the cause of the disease, and were quite sure we knew how it was transmitted from person to person. Perhaps, if we have learned anything, it is that we are not quite sure what we know about the disease.”4 -- Dr. Milton Rosenau

NOTES: Contagion/ Germs Debunked
* To assume that disease is caused by contagion, as in person-to-person transmitting of illness simply on the idea that similar symptoms arise simultaneously in a community or around the world is not science. Though it seems logical, it is not scientific.
*The Germ Theory Reexamined by Bob Zuraw and Bob Lewanski
* The book What Really Makes You Ill? in over 700 referenced pages looks at the science around the fact that viruses have never been proven to not be a part of our own genetics (the human virome), have never been identified as the definitive cause of illness, and have never been proven to “infect” through contact. Referenced by https://kellybroganmd.com
As far back as 1914, they knew.. Reports in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1914. Vol. 14, pages 1 to 32, describe experiments by E. C. Rosenow, M.D., of the Mayo Biological Laboratories in Rochester, Minnesota. It was demonstrated that streptococci (pus germs) could be made to assume all the characteristics of pneumococci (pneumonia germs) simply by feeding them on pneumonia virus and making other minor alterations in their environment. When the procedure was reversed, they quickly reverted to pus germs. In all cases, regardless of the type of germs, they quickly mutated into other types when their environment and food were changed.
