Immunity and resistance
Medical science often claims that when a person is cured of measles, typhus, dysentery and various other infectious diseases, he or she becomes immune to them and they do not recur. The reason for this is that resistance to the disease is generated. From our point of view, however, this is completely misguided. Let me show you the interpretation according to theosophical medicine.
Infectious diseases are caused by the elimination of malignant poisons in the human bloodstream, which is a natural action of blood purification and a blessing from God.
When mould enters the body, the outbreak of contagious diseases and the absence of contagious diseases depend on the amount of poison, as described above. Of course, this is because the disease-causing person is the one with the most poison, and once the mould enters the bloodstream, it immediately feeds on the poison that is its own food and reproduces at a very fast rate.
Conveniently, however, the ones that only fulfil their own function die one after the other while reproducing one species after the other.
In this way, the disease is cured by eating up all the toxins. As a result, the blood is purified of toxins and there is no fear of contracting the contagious disease again. This is called immunity.
This is the truth, and it would be a kind of imaginary theory to say that medicine is about the development of resistance in view of the results.
This is evident above all in the fact that when a person is cured of a contagious disease, he or she is exceptionally healthier than before the illness. If this theory were thoroughly understood, there would be nothing to fear from contagious diseases, but rather to rejoice in them. Therefore, the worsening of contagious diseases and deaths should be attributed to the use of therapies that are contrary to the right principles.
Resistance
Medical science often says that in order to prevent disease, resistance should be strengthened, but this is not true. If anything, it is resistance that causes illness.
Needless to say, this is because resistance is a purifying action.
However, reverse medicine says that in order to prevent illness, the resistance should be strengthened and medicines and poisons are added, which in turn weaken the body. Therefore, no purifying power is generated. The reason is that the resistance is weakened and therefore the disease does not occur, and you can see how wrong this is.
