The Fifth Column

Turn on Thyself

Curious things are going on if you pay attention.

I spent most of my childhood and quite a substantial part of being an adult not knowing about auto-immune disease. Take me for a fool, that much I can admit. I was an MTV grooving, Gameboy loving kind of kid. Never paid attention to this kind of thing.

Then about 10 years ago I started noticing a trend, this new thing called auto-immune disease. I know it isn’t new but that’s how it felt to me. And then the trend started getting larger. Friends and family that I grew up with, acquaintances that I know started started getting it. It manifests in many forms.

Maybe you have heard of:

• Hashimoto’s (Thyroid Problem)

• Ciliacs (Gluten Intolerance)

• MS (Central Nervous System)

• Graves (Thyroid Problem)

• Type 1 Diabetes

• Lupus

• Various forms of Arthritis

• Myocarditis (Heart)

The list goes on and on…

Here are some of the common symptoms:

• fatigue

• achy muscles

• swelling and redness

• Low grade fever

• trouble concentrating

• numbness and tingling in the hands and feet

• hair loss

• skin rashes

I suffer from 5 of the above… and there’s a good chance this is because I live my life like a jackass but it does make you think…

Then consider this:

The study included 14,211 participants, 12 years and older, in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The scientists used immunofluorescence, a technique that uses fluorescent dye to visualize antibodies, to examine the frequencies of ANAs in subjects from three time periods. They found that ANA prevalence for 1988-1991 was 11.0%, while for 1999-2004 it was 11.5%, and for 2011-2012 it was 15.9%. These percentages corresponded to 22, 27, and 41 million affected individuals, respectively.

On simple extrapolation that would be about 18% today, somewhere shy of 50m people in the US alone. And I think its a low ball figure.

What could be causing a crisis of this kind, I wondered?

I looked around for various candidate causes suspected by those who are considered “Experts”.

Let’s ask Johns Hopkins University - The Leading Medical Authority in the World.

• Molecular Mimicry Theory

  “More simply put, molecular mimicry is the sharing of epitopes between self (the patient) and foreign (the microbe) antigens”

Oh, sorry…. the bullet list ends there. Yep, that’s it.

There is a link on the page to a study that will give you more information, but it’s dead. Go figure…

Ok, Let’s ask The National Institute of Health. Can’t get more kosher than that:

“No one is sure what causes autoimmune diseases. In most cases, a combination of factors is probably at work, such as:

• Genes, which may make you more likely to develop the disease.

• Environment, such as a virus that triggers the disease if you have the gene(s).”

Yep, that’s the whole and soul of that one.

Ok, lets move a little further afield…

how about some some site all about health, verywellhealth.com:

Here is an image that I stole from them:

So the rapid rise is because of your genes, the same ones that came from your grandparents? Or infections that have been around for millennia? hmm…

What about those toxic chemicals, and dietary factors? Well, yes sure that does have possibilities. No doubt there are major factors of play here, though none are mentioned, except ‘cigarette smoke’. hmm….

I am sure your grandparents generation never did right. That’s a new thing. Right?

What does peak my curiosity, however, is what is missing.

Always look for what is missing.

What is the leading factor that causes our immune systems to activate, unnaturally?

Something that on the face face of it, should be blindingly obvious to even the non-experts around us. Why it isn’t obvious, is a question for another day.

Let me give you a clue, it will be useful later:

It should give you just enough of a peripheral jerk of the vision. Those spikey things sticking to the cells. What doe’s it look like?

What is the broad class of medications that are used to directly stimulate the immune system, normally given to kids but recently mandated, by our kind overlords, voluntarily of course, to all?

Perhaps you need another clue… oh, never mind…

It is interesting to note that these technologies are the medicines that directly target the immune system. Their use, especially multivalent shots that target multiple pathogens etc. has rocketed up since the 80’s. In near perfect Correlation.

Remember. It does not equal Causation. This mantra must always be remembered. I am sure you did, being well ‘educated’ and all.

Most often it is given to our little one’s before their immune systems have properly developed. Like dropping little neutron bombs in their blood stream before they have the proper defenses to deal with them.

The new genetic varieties of these therapies invade your intercellular machinery to produce the pathogens on the ‘inside’ of the cell, that then express as ‘spikey’ things on the ‘outside’. See picture above right.

Unlike the old antiquated system that merely bombarded you from the outside. Picture above left.

New is better than Old.

Remember. Your second mantra.

Take a pause and think about it before the panic and denial sinks in. I know… the next stage is a kind of cost benefit analysis. ‘Yeah, but the millions of lives saved….”

I get it. Believe me, since I started thinking about it, I have read quite a lot of literature on the subject by scientists et al.

What I found? Well, let’s say I have some reservations.

Ask yourself why you have the visceral reaction, that urge to call me a ‘x-denier’. I am not denying anything. Just thinking, far from ‘expertise’, a vikid and dangerous pastime these days.

A true Fifth Column beholds us, it is best to pay attention.

And that’s,

The Vikid Truth.
