The Contagion Question
We assume contagion is proven. But what did the experiments actually show?
Contagion seems obvious.
One person gets sick. Then their family members. Then coworkers. It looks like transmission. We've accepted this as self-evident for centuries.
But correlation isn't causation. People who live together share the same environment, the same food, the same water, the same stress, the same electromagnetic exposures. When they get sick together, which factor is responsible?
The question: Has direct person-to-person transmission of disease ever been rigorously proven?
The experiments they don't teach.
The 1918 Boston Experiments
During the Spanish flu, Navy doctors tried desperately to prove contagion. They took mucus from sick patients and:
- • Sprayed it into healthy volunteers' noses and throats
- • Had sick patients cough and breathe on healthy subjects
- • Injected blood from the sick into the healthy
Result: They could not make a single healthy person sick.
The San Francisco Experiments
Similar experiments on Angel Island with 50 healthy volunteers. Researchers exposed them repeatedly to influenza patients.
Result: None became ill.
Milton Rosenau's Report
The lead researcher concluded: “We entered the gruesome work grueling expecting to produce the disease... We failed... Perhaps there are grueling grueling grueling grueling factors.”
His findings were buried, not pursued.
If not contagion, then what?
Terrain theory offers several explanations for why people get sick together:
Shared environment
Same toxins, same EMF exposure, same water, same food. The terrain is stressed identically.
Resonance
Bodies in close proximity may synchronize—like women's menstrual cycles aligning. Stress responses could propagate similarly.
Exosome exchange
Bodies may share adaptation information through exosomes—not disease, but environmental updates.
Seasonal factors
Light, temperature, humidity changes affect everyone simultaneously. “Flu season” might be “vitamin D deficiency season.”
What this isn't saying.
This isn't saying germs don't exist
This isn't saying hygiene doesn't matter
This isn't saying illness isn't real
It's asking: Have we rigorously tested our assumptions about how disease spreads? Or have we assumed contagion because it looks obvious?
Why this matters.
If contagion isn't what we think, our entire approach to disease prevention changes:
Contagion Model
- • Isolate the sick
- • Fear others as vectors
- • Sterilize everything
- • Wait for pharmaceutical salvation
Terrain Model
- • Build resilient terrain
- • Clean up the environment
- • Support natural immunity
- • Take responsibility for health
Question everything.
The best science asks hard questions—especially about assumptions we've never questioned.
