Do viruses exist? Why denying their existence could be hazardous to your health.
Since COVID, there has been increased attention given to viruses. In tandem to this, there are increasing arguments against the existence of viruses.
Let's review 9 claims against the existence of viruses and the corresponding science that viruses do indeed exist.
1. Claim: "Viruses have never been isolated."
Counter-Argument:
- Isolation Methods: Viruses are routinely isolated using techniques like ultracentrifugation, filtration, and cell culture. These methods separate viruses from other biological materials, allowing them to be studied independently (Role of Cell Culture for Virus Detection in the Age of Technology).
- Case Studies:
- HIV: Isolated from infected individuals and cultured in T-cells, with its genome fully sequenced and its proteins identified (Cultivation and Assay of Viruses).
- SARS-CoV-2: Isolated from respiratory samples, visualized under electron microscopes, and confirmed through genetic sequencing (Culture-Based Virus Isolation to Evaluate Potential Infectivity of ClinicalSpecimens Tested for SARS-CoV-2).
- Definition of Isolation: Critics often argue isolation must occur in a "pure form" without any surrounding material. However, viruses require host cells to replicate, making complete isolation without a cellular environment impractical. Despite this, scientists achieve effective isolation through consistent and reproducible methods.
2. Claim: "Viruses have not been visualized directly."
Counter-Argument:
- Electron Microscopy: Viruses have been directly visualized using electron microscopy. Classic examples include:
- Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) in the 1930s.
- Influenza, herpesviruses, and SARS-CoV-2 (Electron Microscopy Images and Morphometric Data of SARS-CoV-2).
- These images clearly show the unique structures of viruses, including capsids, envelopes, and surface proteins (Modern Uses of Electron Microscopy for Detection of Viruses).
3. Claim: "Viruses are just exosomes or cellular debris."
Counter-Argument:
- Structural Differences:
- Viruses have distinct features, such as protein capsids and specific lipid envelopes, that exosomes (cellular vesicles) lack (Characterizing Viral Infection by Electron Microscopy).
- Functional Differences:
- Exosomes are non-infectious cellular vesicles involved in communication, whereas viruses infect cells, hijack their machinery, and replicate, causing observable damage (Ultrastructural Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Interactions with the Host Cell).
4. Claim: "Diseases attributed to viruses are caused by toxins, lifestyle, or other factors."
Counter-Argument:
- Controlled Studies: Experiments confirm that introducing isolated viruses into healthy organisms causes disease symptoms (e.g., polio, rabies, influenza) (Culture-Based Virus Isolation).
- Epidemiological Evidence: Viral diseases show patterns of contagion and outbreaks inconsistent with purely environmental or lifestyle causes (e.g., measles and COVID-19 spread).
5. Claim: "Genetic material attributed to viruses is actually from the host."
Counter-Argument:
- Viral Genomes Are Distinct:
- Viral genetic material (DNA or RNA) contains sequences and patterns not found in host genomes, such as unique promoter regions, replication origins, and genes for viral proteins (Modern Uses of ElectronMicroscopy for Detection of Viruses).
- Replication Proof:
- Viral genetic material replicates independently of host DNA, and this replication can be observed in real time in cell cultures (Ultrastructural Analysis of SARS-CoV-2).
6. Claim: "Viruses have not been proven to cause disease (Koch's postulates)."
Counter-Argument:
- Adaptations for Viruses: Traditional Koch's postulates were designed for bacteria and have been adapted for viruses, which require host cells to replicate. Modified postulates include:
- The virus is consistently found in diseased individuals.
- The virus can be isolated and cultured in host cells.
- Introduction of the virus into a healthy host causes the same disease.
- The virus can be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host.
- Examples:
- Poliovirus, rabies virus, and SARS-CoV-2 satisfy these adapted criteria (Cultivation and Assay of Viruses).
7. Claim: "The immune system doesn't respond specifically to viruses."
Counter-Argument:
- Antibody Response:
- Infected individuals produce antibodies targeting specific viral proteins, detectable via tests like ELISA (High-Resolution Virus Pictures).
- T-cell Response:
- Viruses trigger cytotoxic T-cells, which recognize and destroy infected cells displaying viral antigens (Characterizing Viral Infection by Electron Microscopy).
8. Claim: "Symptoms blamed on viruses can be explained by other causes."
Counter-Argument:
- Viral Pathogenesis: Viruses damage cells directly (e.g., lysis) causing characteristic symptoms (Electron Microscopy Methods for Virus Diagnosis).
- Unique Disease Patterns:
- Measles causes a distinctive rash and immune suppression.
- HIV uniquely targets CD4+ T-cells, leading to immune deficiency.
- These patterns cannot be fully explained by toxins, genetics, or lifestyle factors alone. However, the presence of these variables can make one more susceptible to experiencing a viral illness.
9: Claim: "Viruses are an energetic entity, not a physical one."
Counter-Argument:
- Viruses are both energetic and physical entities.
- All matter is inherently both a physical particle with an accompanying wave component. Viruses are no different and thus are both matter and energy. Don't forget Einstein's theory of relativity E=Mc2 where energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. Refer to this article on biofield based therapies for more details about how matter and energy related to one another.
- The presence of a virus will have an accompanying vibrational pattern associated with it. Not only can viruses be physically contagious, but their resonance pattern can potentially be as well. This is similar to how you may enter a room and pick up on a certain "vibe". If you aren't able to maintain an appropriate boundary then you could become entrained to the quality of the energy.
- Personally, I had an experience where I was in a restaurant and as the waiter was leaning over my shoulder I felt him breathe onto me and I immediately sensed a sickly type of quality his breath and that I had been contaminated by it. A few days later I became sick with COVID.
Do Viruses Exist? The Short Answer
Yes, viruses do exist, and their presence is supported by overwhelming scientific evidence. Viruses are microscopic infectious agents made of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein shell. They cannot reproduce on their own and require a host cell to replicate. Scientists have studied and observed viruses for over a century, using tools like electron microscopes, laboratory experiments and advanced molecular biology techniques.
EMPOWER YOURSELF AGAINST VIRUSES
People in close proximity often get sick together supporting the existence of viruses.
- It is widely observed that when one person in a household, daycare, classroom or workplace develops symptoms of a viral illness (e.g., a cold or flu), others often get sick shortly after. This pattern is consistent with the idea that viruses spread through respiratory droplets, touch or shared surfaces. For example, in schools, one child coming in with the flu can lead to multiple classmates getting sick within days.
- There are patterns of seasonal illness such as cold and flu season where viral illnesses spike in colder months when people spend more time indoors, in close contact with others and with less ventilation. This strongly aligns with viral transmission patterns, as viruses like influenza and rhinoviruses thrive in such conditions. For, example, during winter holidays, many people travel, gather indoors and interact with larger groups, leading to noticeable increases in illnesses.
- It has been demonstrated that quarantine and isolation work to prevent illness. When someone with a contagious illness is isolated, others in their household or workplace often remain healthy. This supports the idea that the illness is caused by something transmissible (like a virus) rather than solely environmental toxins or pre-existing conditions. For example, in hospitals, strict infection-control protocols (e.g., masks, gloves, isolation rooms) reduce the spread of viruses like norovirus or SARS among healthcare workers.
- Epidemics and pandemics provide clear evidence where large outbreaks of diseases like measles, influenza or COVID-19 occur in patterns consistent with viral spread through communities and populations. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, cases surged after large gatherings or in areas with poor ventilation, and they declined with masking and social distancing. This global pattern is not easily explained by non-contagious factors. Furthermore, cases of the flu dramatically decreased during COVID-19 due to people social distancing.
DISCOVER HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM VIRAL INFECTIONS
Why doesn't everyone in close proximity get sick?
- Differences in immune system strength and underlying health status have a huge impact on whether someone will get sick. People with pre-existing chronic infections and health conditions, high toxin loads, lack of sleep, increased stress and/or inflammation have weakened immune systems, leaving them less able to fight off an acute viral infection. When the body is already busy managing underlying conditions, it has fewer resources to fight off exposure to new infections. For example, a stressed, sleep-deprived and/or nutrient-deficient individual may get sick after exposure, while someone who is well-rested, relaxed and consuming immune-supporting supplements may not.
- Varying exposure levels will influence your chances of getting sick. Someone spending prolonged time in close contact with a sick individual is more likely to be exposed to a higher viral load, increasing their risk of illness. This also includes exposures to higher volumes of contaminate such as being sneezed on in the face, kissing or other sexual activities involving bodily fluid and mucous membrane contact. One could also unknowingly be ingesting contaminated bodily fluids at restaurants (example- chefs often cut their fingers which blood then can get into the food you consume).
- Protective factors such as immune-supporting supplements (e.g., zinc, vitamin C, elderberry), eating nutritious diets and leading low-stress lifestyles will better equip one to fight off infections.
- This factor is HUGE. As a healthcare practitioner who often does hands-on body work and breathing techniques with my clients, I am frequently exposed to airborne pathogens in relatively high concentrations but do not get sick. The only 3 times I have gotten sick in the past 5 years was when I was traveling and off my normal nutritional rhythm.
LEARN TO SUPPORT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Why believing that viruses don't exist can be hazardous to your health
According to Anthony William (Medical Medium), whom we have been following and using his protocols successfully for the past 6 years after many years of unsuccessful navigation of conventional and other alternative medical approaches, viruses (particularly those from the herpetic family such as Epstein-Barr) are a HUGE component of chronic mystery illness (toxins, radiation, and DDT are the other main ones). Refer to this article about the connections between viruses, pain and postural tension.
Conscious awareness of one's root causes of illness is critical to be able to take the correct and appropriate behavioral steps to heal from it. For example, knowing that toxins and certain foods such as gluten, dairy and eggs can perpetuate viruses will facilitate you to take action in lowering your viral load. Resonate Health provides you with all the tools, resources and knowledge you need to successfully detox and reduce the viral levels in your body which are so often holding back your healing.
Knowledge not only empowers your ability to make better genuinely supportive health choices but it also helps direct your body's innate intelligence to more effectively heal. Viruses can be very evasive and confusing to your immune system. When you understand that your body needs to reduce its viral levels this awareness transfers to your cells amplifying their healing success. For those that work in biofield based therapies, including this intention within a treatment session can also assist in addressing viral infections as there is an accompanying energetic pattern to any physical one.
Consider this....
If there are entities (whether they are people, groups or organizations and/or energetic/spiritual sourced ones (we would argue both) out there that want to suppress or control a population, health is a key factor to manipulate. In today's modern society, what controls our healthcare is:
- Government agencies which dictate:
- The content for board certification for licensed healthcare practitioners and thus what they are educated on
- FDA regulations
- NIH research and funding
- The pharmaceutical industry which spent $83 billion on research and development in 2019 in the US and over $300 billion worldwide (take note that the US is 28% of that total).
(Congressional Budget Office, Statista). However, it has been found that most pharmaceutical companies spend more on sales and marketing by around 37% (AHI)
- The media which is directed by the above but also the growing plethora of health and wellness "Influencers" who may or may not have true information or your best interests at heart.
Therefore, entities in a position to control and influence have the ultimate power over a society's health.
For those that believe in dark/negative/evil entities of the energetic/spiritual nature, have you considered that these could be potentially influencing influencers without their awareness? This includes both ill and well-intentioned influencers....
It is very confusing, overwhelming and challenging to be able to navigate today's health and wellness landscape. It seems pretty obvious that our current model is failing us and that we need something else which is why there is a growing body of alternative information alongside the current conventional dogmas. However, what is true and what isn't depending on each one of our individual contexts? If you go on a search you will find quite the variety of answers often with many conflicting.
The beauty of being a human is Your ability to exercise our own free will in the perspectives and decisions you make. Yet, this is an extraordinarily difficult task to uphold in our current framework.
How do you find your way? Through our own personal and professional experiences working with thousands of clients, we believe it is the integration of learning to authentically listen and learn from all dimensions of yourself- body, heart, mind and soul. In a way, you become your own personal science experiment as you begin to tease out what does and doesn't work while opening up your conscious awareness to self-limiting patterns both within and around you. This is the essence of conscious personal mastery that will ultimately guide you to the You you genuinely want to embody.
