Reframing the Challenge to Contagion Theory: an exploration of the many possibilities overlooked and less considered when it comes to why people become ill.

Let us consider some crucial points that question the virological paradigm—not only on scientific grounds but from lived experience and spiritual insight that external germ-focused science often neglects.

You may still be on the fence about Germ Theory vs Terrain Theory. If you do not know the gist of each theory's postulation for the causation of illness and disease, here's what they are about in a nutshell:

Germ Theory postulates that all illness and disease is caused by germs that lurk in the environment waiting for susceptible persons to host them as they violently pleasure themselves at their hosts expense. Viruses are the main culprit for contagion.

Terrain Theory declares all humans are robust individuals capable of living with germs. But the problem occurs when there are deficiencies or suitable terrain for outbreaks of bacterial or fungal expression to occur within a person. Experiments have shown viruses, if they exist, have not been proven to be contagious.

While many point to diseases like measles, chickenpox, or rabies as proof of contagion, the actual evidence for viral transmission—outside of lab constructs—is far less robust than claimed. Much of the belief in contagion stems from pattern-based assumptions (“my child got sick after playing with another sick child”) rather than reproducible, controlled evidence.

When people speak of “catching” measles or chickenpox, they often overlook:

• Asynchronous onset even within households

• Selective occurrence among siblings (some get sick, some don’t)

• Nutritional, emotional, or spiritual differences that may influence who develops symptoms

• The possibility that what we call “infectious” may in fact be a programmed biological process triggered by developmental stages or internal terrain conditions—not external pathogens

For example, consider an 8-child household where only one or two develop symptoms at a time over year. This staggered emergence of so-called "infectious diseases" defies the very idea of rapid person-to-person spread, and is far more consistent with individual terrain expression.

“Transmission” or Shared Terrain?

What we interpret as transmission might instead be:

• Shared environmental exposure (e.g., toxins, mold, food quality, EMF)

• Shared nutritional deficiencies

• Shared psychological and emotional states, particularly in the case of sympathy-based susceptibility.

• Spiritual alignment: some may unconsciously take on symptoms as a form of emotional or familial identification—a phenomenon well documented in psychosomatic medicine and also hinted at in biblical examples of bearing one another’s burdens.

This also aligns with the observations in German New Medicine, where illnesses manifest not due to outside invaders, but as biological programs triggered by unresolved emotional shocks or spiritual stressors.

Why Some Get Sick and Others Don’t

Many still ask: Why do illnesses seem to "go around" in groups, families, or schools? Here's a terrain-based response:

• Coincidence and confirmation bias: We remember when multiple people get sick at once, but ignore when exposure doesn’t lead to illness.

• Seasonal stress cycles: Immune systems often weaken around holidays, cold seasons, or times of academic stress—leading to clustering of symptoms.

• Spiritual empathy or energetic resonance: As you wisely noted, those who feel sympathy or emotional resonance with a sick loved one may subconsciously align their body to share in their experience.

• Belief and expectation: If a child believes they “must” get sick like their sibling, or if a parent anticipates it, the body may manifest that suggestion—a placebo/nocebo effect.

Spiritual Dimensions of Illness

There is also the possibility of a “sympathy spirit”. Many ancient and even modern spiritual traditions acknowledge that illness can be shared—not through microbes, but through emotion, intention, or spiritual energy.

Consider:

• Jesus healed many with no mention of medicine—only faith and spiritual alignment.

• Proverbs 17:22 tells us, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

• Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 11 that some were sick or dying due to spiritual misalignment with the Lord's Supper—not physical infection.

Could it be that sickness is often a physical expression of unseen realities—emotional burdens, spiritual discord, or toxic beliefs—rather than a microbial invasion?

Personal Evidence as Powerful Testimony

The best challenge to medical dogma often isn’t found in textbooks—but in what your own body and household have experienced. Stories abound of varied illness among siblings despite presumed exposure, and children getting measles, chickenpox, smallpox, polio despite vaccination.

These aren't statistical anomalies—they’re cracks in the Germ Theory edifice.

Illness as Inner Expression, Not Outer Invasion

I am not alone, for many are now realizing: illness is an inside job. While microbes may be present during disease, they are often correlated, not causal. Like firefighters at a fire, they may show up in response—not as the arsonists.

We are spiritual, emotional, energetic, and biological beings—and our health reflects our harmony (or disharmony) in all these areas.

Belief matters. Sympathy matters. Spiritual resonance matters. And above all, terrain matters.
