It's all worth some speculation. All I know at age 76 is that I don't get sick if I eat well. I had a brief "flu" twenty one years ago when I was overseas and eating poorly. Since then, nothing.
I stopped worrying about "catching" long ago, but felt that fitness was important, Now I don't even factor in fitness. If my diet is good (make that VERY good) I don't get sick. No miracle supplements or special regimes. Just food that is actual human food, all the time, every time.
One sentence here hit me like a baseball bat. When weather changes.
One sunny winter day, dry and not too cold, I went to work somewhat under dressed for the season. I parked right in front of the restaurant where I worked so I gave no matter to the cold. When 10 pm came, paying no mind to the outside, I waked out into a sleeting frozen nightmare with no gloves, no hat or protection from the weather. In 1/2 hour I was soaked through, frozen stiff, trying desperately to scrape my windshields clear.
The following day, I could not talk or swallow. Spent a week in hospital with the worst flu I ever had in my life. From that week on, I have the greatest respect for the weather and have never been caught unprepared for the changes weather creates. Especially, that hat on my head.
I’ve wondered about spread of something by the great super winds of the jet stream, have read about dust storms spreading from Asia to the US. I think I’ve read the jet stream is west to east? But that’s opposite to this essay’s assertions of recorded east to west spread of “influenza” symptoms. Fascinating essay, thanks! Don’t think I’ve ever had “influenza.” Have also never had a “flu shot”
Read somewhere that Cleveland clinics ? data showed direct correlation between flu shots and symptoms
I find it difficult to get USA data but the UK where I am has useful info. I did a satirical post today but it is quite clear that the side effects of the 'flu jab are the 'flu. I have known this since 1980's although it took COVID nonsense in 2020 to wake me up to all the the vaccines being harmful if anything.
This is the fall season when the annual marketing campaign for Flu and RSV and Covid vaccines is in full swing.
TV ads with intense fear-inducing imagery, more fear-inducing “news" stories, grocery store signs and PA announcements, discounts on grocery with vaccination, letters and emails from health providers, etc.
Intrusive questioning and pressure during medical appointments.
Strong peer pressure where your friends want to tell you that they took the shots and “when are you getting yours?"
What you don’t hear is that the shots are not safe and not effective.
Read this article by an Australian physician, Ian Brighthope. He's a physician with 49 years of practice and has a postgraduate fellowship in nutritional and environmental medicine
* Vast range of negative “side" effects, many serious:
Mild reactions: fever, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue, and injection site pain.
Severe allergic reactions: including anaphylaxis.
Neurological damage: Guillain–Barré Syndrome has long been associated with influenza vaccination (Haber et al., 2004; CDC, 2019).
Autoimmune complications: flare-ups of pre-existing conditions, and reports of neurological regression in children.
Cardiovascular and inflammatory disorders: myocarditis, vasculitis, and immune-mediated damage.
Death: though routinely dismissed by authorities, fatal events following flu vaccination are reported every year in surveillance systems such as The US VAERS.
* Horrendous list of ingredients which you would never eat or drink, but somehow are considered safe to inject directly into your bloodstream, bypassing all of your body’s natural defenses.
* Highest quality medical reviews show negligible effectiveness:
"Even the Cochrane Collaboration, the world’s leading authority on systematic evidence reviews, has consistently found the benefit of influenza vaccines to be weak at best. At most, annual vaccination reduces symptomatic cases by a tiny fraction, and in many years it fails outright due to mismatched strains (Jefferson et al., 2018). Effectiveness against transmission is virtually nonexistent.”

Instead of unsafe and ineffective shots, the alternative is very safe and effective: bolster your inherent immune defenses with
* High-quality sleep
* Exercise
* Exposure to sunlight and fresh air
* Nutrient-dense diet
* Optimizing vitamin D levels. Vitamin D regulates your body’s immune response, keeping it from over-reacting.
* Hand and face sanitation
* If symptoms arise, take increased vitamin C and perform oral and nasal/sinus salt water rinses.
I’ve never had a flu shot, and never had flu.
PS: there is no reason to think that RSV shots are any safer or more effective than flu shots, and the same immune-bolstering strategies used to address the flu work against RSV and any other respiratory condition.
PPS: As bad as flu shots are, the MRNA Covid shots are far more dangerous and clearly counter-effective.
There are also MRNA shots under development for flu, RSV, etc, all likely to be more dangerous than current versions.
Mainstream "medicine" buried that, along with most other truths.
This takes Terrain Theory to another level! Think about our internal terrain/environment, and then move outward... Our biofields, our neighborhood, the electromagnetic environment, the space between earth and the sun...
Currently and forward, we are in chaotic times on all levels. Medical, political, financial, and then you throw in the atmosphere and cosmic energies. This can wreak havoc on our minds and bodies.
It goes both ways. Weather and atmosphere certainly affect our health and wellbeing. And, if we are in good shape physically and emotionally, we are less likely to be made ill by weather conditions.
Something I learned from the Covid experience is that the condition of the lungs is critical to whether someone gets sick from airborne crap. The lungs must be hydrated with water and salt. If they are not, the terrain is a welcome spot for bacterial pneumonia to set up camp.
The Spanish flu wasn't Spanish. It was primarily vaccine damage as well as overuse of aspirin which caused excessive bleeding. There are many articles on Substack about this. I have read that both the Spanish flu and Covid deaths were from bacterial pneumonia.
Cosmic conditions and Health:
Ben Davidson: Solar storms and KP Index and Health
Fantastic article. For those interested in learning more about the idea that contagion has never been scientifically demonstrated, look for videos by Dr. Andrew Kaufman, Dr. Tom Cowan, Dr. Stephan Lanka and Drs. Mark and Samantha Bailey.
I work with contractors in the Philippines. When any of them ever get sick, they always (100% of the time!) explain to me that it is because the weather has changed.
Why avoid the obvious? The 1917 flu pandemic was in part a bird flu that adapted to humans, with its origins believed to be in wild or domestic birds. The virus likely jumped from birds to humans, then spread between humans, and may have later involved pigs as well.
Birds make their way to mountaintops and ships at sea.
The importance of sunlight exposure is one reason the sunlight based treatment of the 1917 pandemic seemed to work better than the opposite approach for COVID. "Stay indoors with your relatives of all ages!".
I lived in a Dormitory in Ann Arbor built in the 1930's for Nursing students and it was designed so that the windows needed to be kept open a crack at all times, or the heating could not be controlled. A pandemic proof dorm!
The 'flu is a disease of toxicity build up. The bird 'flu thing is just scare tactics. 1917 pandemic was related to vaccination and use of aspirin by all accounts. Virus used to be defined as 'poison' and this is what it should be thought of.
The Rosenau experiments of 1919 put a large dent in the contagion hypothesis. During the Spanish flu outbreak Dr Milton Rosenau enlisted volunteers form the navy. He gave them a mixture of material extracted form the lungs of men that had died form the flu. The volunteers were also inoculated with mucous from the throats and noses of influenza patients and also with the patients’ blood. The volunteers were then coughed on by the patients suffering from the flu symptoms. The result - none of the volunteers caught the flu.
This should really have put an end to the contagion hypothesis but Big Pharma couldn't let that happen because the whole vaccine industry is based on the viral contagion theory.
Interesting article. It makes sense that with the weather theory, once the capability of flight became reality, substances could be deployed aerially in order to control this phenomenon… both for good and bad. Although we can be certain it has never been used for good intentions.
An excellent essay. It brought to mind Andrew Tomas's book, "We Are Not the First" (Souvenir Press Ltd 1971) in which, among many other earlier discoveries, he mentions the Ancient Greeks' discovery or assumption of the existence of the 'atom'. Would they not have also discovered the existence of a 'virus' - if such a thing really existed?
The biggest factor contributing to illness is poisoning , and the biggest contributor to poisoning is the military industrial complex and has been for 100 plus years or more. Whether chemical, electronic ,aural or bacterial ,they are responsible more than anything. Add Big Harma to the mix and the medical killing machine and you have the biggest cause of mass population reduction you can observe in real time.It is impossible not to see it.
Fascinating, thank you. Our bodies require water constantly so variations will potentially affect health. Ammonia is produced in the body and is toxic so any changes will bring on the 'flu if one is not careful.
As ammonia is nitrogen based it is the excess negative effects of it that cause harm such as with nitrates and nitrites.

That's me. I don't know about you guys.
So… by that token it appears that cold/flue is a process of elimination triggered by environmental circumstances?
Fundamentally agree with your observation I’ve made the same.
Ii wonder how long they've been using Chemtrails to spread virus bacteria mold fungus metals and now nano fibers?
In Northern California, it began in 1997. There are Air Force documents dated about that time.
1992

Real life is (infinitely) multifactorial. Only models seek single causal links.
Could it be somehow carried by migratory birds? Like the geese?
