So what causes disease then? The answer is that the modern diet is responsible. Sugar, grain, dairy and alcohol are all unnatural products which the human digestive system can't cope with and many people get sick because of this. That accounts for 98% of all disease. The other 2% of disease can be blamed on consumption of fecal material, pesticides, fungicides, heavy metals and halogens. (chlorine, fluorine and bromine)
 

2 words = neonatal meningitis

Huh?

Look up the etiology of neonatal meningitis.

Then try applying your warped theory.

Not happening.

QUOTES FROM YOUR LINK:  "there is no proof that HIV exists."

"there is no proof of the isolation of a retrovirus from AIDS patients. [HIV is said to be a retrovirus]"



lol.... Try using references that aren't chock full o' manure.


Science. 1986 Jul 18;233(4761):343-6.
Isolation of a new human retrovirus from West African patients with AIDS.
Clavel F, Guétard D, Brun-Vézinet F, Chamaret S, Rey MA, Santos-Ferreira MO, Laurent AG, Dauguet C, Katlama C, Rouzioux C, et al.

The etiological agent of AIDS, LAV/HTLV-III, is common in Central Africa but is not endemic in other areas of that continent. A novel human retrovirus, distinct from LAV/HTLV-III, has now been isolated from two AIDS patients from West Africa. Partial characterization of this virus revealed that it has biological and morphological properties very similar to LAV but that it differs in some of its antigenic components. Although the core antigens may share some common epitopes, the West African AIDS retrovirus and LAV differ substantially in their envelope glycoproteins. The envelope antigen of the West African virus can be recognized by serum from a macaque with simian AIDS infected by the simian retrovirus termed STLV-IIImac, suggesting that the West African AIDS virus may be more closely related to this simian virus than to LAV. Hybridization experiments with LAV subgenomic probes further established that this new retrovirus, here referred to as LAV-II, is distantly related to LAV and distinct from STLV-IIImac.

It doesn't matter how many words we use- because you ignore them anyway.
Perhaps you should go and work in a field hospital treating people with Ebola or some similar viral infection. Since there are no viruses, you won't need any protective equipment. You can turn up with lots of vitamins and, shortly afterwards, you will either be proved right- or (in all sensible probability, you will die.

If viruses and pathogens don't exist, and....  "the modern diet accounts for 98% of all disease. The other 2% of disease can be blamed on consumption of fecal material, pesticides, fungicides, heavy metals and halogens....

Then how do you explain the etiology and/or pathogenesis of neonatal meningitis?

How do you know that they are HIV viruses?

1. Is it because somebody painted them a nice green colour for you?

2. Is It because because viruses are green?

3. Or is it because only HIV viruses look like little indistinctive anonymous blobs? lol!

So, now you are resorting to shouting in large bright red colours to prove your point. But your evidence is completely vacuous and lacking any detail or logic.

1. There is no size scale on the picture.

2. There is no description of what part of the body this is.

3. There are no distinguishing features which tell us that these are HIV viruses.

4. How can you distinguish or know that a virus is budding or not budding?

5. How can something that requires the internal mechanisms of a cell to grow; suddenly grow, outside of a cell environment?

All illogical nonsense!

" No size scale indicated - Thus - False"
If I showed you a picture of a man with a mouse in his hand and said that the man was bigger than the mouse would you say that isn't true because he is not holding a ruler?
The size is indicated by the presence of a cell in the picture. The virus particles are about a thousand times smaller.
did you not understand that?


"Has never been duplicated in a petri dish using a medium from to separate individuals."
Yes it has. In particular with Norovirus because it's difficult to culture ( a recent breakthrough means they no longer have to use human volunteers.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160825172254.htm

" Doesn't have any DNA - Thus - False"
Yes they do. Here's an article about the chickenpox virus genome
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3413377/

It doesn't help when you say things that simply are not true.

It seems rude to ask but, do you have some sort of learning disorder that stops you understanding things like not needing a scale to see if one thing is bigger than another?

lol....  The "distinguishing features" of the virus are well-documented, and that was merely a pic of the [early] stages of HIV-1 virion morphogenesis.

4. How can you distinguish or know that a virus is budding or not budding?

"Virion morphogenesis can be divided into three stages: assembly, wherein the virion is created and essential components are packaged; budding, wherein the virion crosses the plasma membrane and obtains its lipid envelope; and maturation, wherein the virion changes structure and becomes infectious." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3385941/

Still no size scale! - Thus false. Unscientific idiotic nonsense! To be a scientist, you MUST use scientific methodologies. The reason they keep omitting size scale references is because they are committing a fraud and don't want to get caught!

Norovirus - or other wise known as 'cruise ship disease'. People who travel on cruises eat and live like imbeciles with little sleep, too much alcohol, bad diet and very little exercise. Thus, this is the reason that they get sick and has nothing to do with viruses. Again - dairy, sugar and grain the main cause - resulting in leaky gut syndrome.

The whole virus identification process is a fraud. Separation of similar sized particles in a spinning test tube doesn't equate with a virus. Garbage!

No reasonable reply - Thus, still false. Providing a bigger picture (enlarged) which doesn't include a size scale is still unscientific nonsense.

There are still no distinguishing features. The pictures vary significantly from the text book version where the viruses have small receptor attachments on the outside. Looks like small green cotton buds to me!

Its all just computer generated and fabricated nonsense to justify and prevent billions of dollars in litigation by the general public. Bad diet causes disease and that's that. Viruses are just normal body produced hormones and cells which the body uses to rid itself of unwanted pollution and garbage which the stupid person has allowed to enter their bodies. End of story! Get with it! Don't support criminal medical organisations and other fraudsters.
