Virus: The Mighty Mini Enigma

While the world press is full of stories of an impending
pandemic of swine flu, there is a side of viruses which few
are aware of. Many viruses have an initial set of flu-like
symptoms, which then go into hiding only to show up later
with some seemingly unrelated issues. Any drop in the
state of health can be the opportunity for a new outbreak
of symptoms or even an opening for some other, more
virulent pathogen. Since there can be a time interval
between the initial incident and the subsequent issues, the
association often goes unnoticed.

As someone who experienced a simultaneous bout of Lyme's
Disease and Epstein-Barr virus, as well as being an
intuitive, spiritual/energy healing practitioner, I have a
somewhat different perspective than the medical community.
My sensitivity to allopathic drugs and experiences with
energy medicine led me to find alternative solutions
without the "side effects" associated with antibiotic and
other drug therapies.

Several years ago, I was on the phone with a new client, on
another continent. She was being treated by an allopathic
physician for a "fatty liver" which he thought was causing
her extreme malaise. She also had a band of fat around her
waist which had mysteriously manifested several years
earlier. When I tuned in to her body/mind I found that all
of her endocrine organs were severely compromised. After
clearing enough of the overall energetic congestion, what
showed up was what appeared to be a swarm. Usually, what I
"perceive" is the consciousness of a pathogen; here there
was nothing. Unlike bacteria, this swarm had no
discernable consciousness. It was like a cloud of locusts
which fly wherever the wind blows and land wherever there
is food. This was the indicator of a virus, one which had
been present for numerous years.

Viruses are so small that they reproduce inside of the host
cells, making diagnoses and treatment difficult.
Energetically, I find viruses difficult to directly deal
with, simply because there is little, or no perceivable
intelligence. Bacteria have an interconnected
consciousness which can be disrupted with energy, allowing
the body?s immune system and remedies to more effectively
deal with the invaders. At any rate I referred her to
someone who had developed a nutritional supplement which he
promoted for killing a wide range of pathogens. Five days
after she started a particular probiotic supplement regimen
the virus was dead, although she still had to recover from
its damaging effects. A week later someone forwarded an
article about a doctor who had developed a test for a
flu-like virus which left long term symptoms exactly
matching my client's.

During a session with someone who had mysteriously
manifested vertigo, a similar viral swarm showed up in my
radar. When I shared my perceptions, she went back to the
memory of a boat ride, several years earlier, and the viral
infection that showed up at the end of the night. This was
yet another flu-like pathogen with a different set of
secondary symptoms, however similar its initial appearance.
Again it was passed off as the flu and again its identity
as to the source of the secondary symptoms remained hidden

Before his recent death, I had a series of conversations
with the late immunologist Dr. Rudolph Kallenbach. He
verified my observations from the point of view of the
latest in medical research regarding viruses along with his
own experience. His opinion was that there was no
discernable level of consciousness in a virus. Each
sub-microbial entity operates on its own, mutating and
proliferating with each opportunity. In contrast,
researchers are now focusing on disrupting the group
consciousness of bacteria, for the next generation of
anti-bacterial drugs.

With the 5,000 identified viruses reportedly being only the
tip of the iceberg, we are looking at a virtual Pandora?s
Box of potential problems. Since not all people exposed to
a particualr germ will "catch" it, there are obviously
other factors at play here. Luis Pasteur reportedly
recanted on his death bed, that it was the environment of
the body that determined vulnerability, not the pathogen
itself. Because of their concern with prevention as well
as the numerous "side effects" of allopathic medicines,
many alternative physicians prefer to work with herbs,
supplements and energy medicines such as homeopathic
remedies. Often they address the "biological terrain" of
the body to create conditions favorable to healthy living
and not for pathogens such as viruses.

When one examins the overall factors involved inr optimum
health, the state of consciousness begins to show up as a
major determininant. When one is happy, endorphins are
released, along with growth and other hormones, which are
associated with an elevated immune system. The often told
story of Norman Cousins is but one example of people
recovering from every disease known to man though
consciousness. Coupled with a reasonable, non-destructive
diet it creates an environment which supports life. When
these conditions are in place there is much less likelihood
of "catching" a bug to begin with and even then, the amount
of time spent in battling it is much shorter, with less
chance of complications.
