What if our bodies made the virus as a byproduct of sickness? It could just be waste that your body expels after it has accumulated too much toxicity. That’s one theory that I’ve read. Your body secretes toxins through sweat when you exercise. If you don’t exercise, your body accumulates tons of toxins. Eventually those toxins will harm you. So your body starts a forced detox by making you sick. You secrete those toxins more aggressively through a runny nose (i.e. mucus), night sweats, diarrhea, vomiting, and coughing. A fever would make sense in this context. Your body raises its temperature which makes mucus easier to move around. If the toxins accumulate in your mucus, then making it hotter will make the mucus more liquid like. The mucus has to come out of your nose. This also explains why “medicine” makes you get sicker and seemingly

weakens your immune system. Medicine shuts down this process of detoxification. So the toxicity in your body remains in your body. The next time you get sick, it’s more severe. That’s why when i stopped taking medicine, i noticed my illnesses were much less severe and less frequent. I have less toxin accumulation. And what happens if you take medicine for your entire life? The toxin buildup eventually leads to something worse: presumably cancer. This theory makes a lot more sense to me than some microscopically tiny particle that you can’t see entering your body from someone’s sneeze and causing total mayhem. Making people afraid of things they can’t see is very reminiscent of religious nonsense.

I read another theory that made a lot of sense to me as well. During the winter, most people turn on their heaters. In their homes, at work, in the car. This forces unnatural warm air into your environment. That dries up the air that you breathe in which dries up the mucus in your lungs. This increases your risk for sickness and explains why people have dry coughs. After reading about this theory, I began cracking open the window slightly whenever I use the heater. Air humidifiers also seem to be effective at preventing this type of sickness. It keeps the air from being too dry. I’ve never gotten sick when doing this. I’ve never gotten sick during the winter seasons when I never used the heater at all. I used to live with my grandmother many years ago. She is definitely immunocompromised. One year, she didn’t get sick because we never used the heater. Her children and their families all got sick twice that year. But the following year, she went and stayed with my uncle for about a week. They use the heater throughout the winter. She got sick and came back while still sick. No one else got sick because we never used the heater. This makes a lot of sense to me. I see people use those little heater fans that just blast hot air at you. That dries up your skin so why wouldn’t it dry up the mucus in your chest? The mucus is there for a reason and if you dry it up, you’re harming the natural balance of your respiratory system. The sickness could be your bodies attempt to mobilize resources from other parts of your body to protect a very important system for your survival.
