Thanks for that great summary of Lanka’s findings.

It’s important to realize that Lanka and others are not denying the existence of bacteria or various other microbes or toxins, venoms, poisons, etc. It’s specifically the concept of infectious viruses he’s attacking.
Here’s how the difference between bacteria and viruses is normally stated:

Lanka would agree that most bacteria aren’t harmful — though some are — but he would disagree about what viruses really are. The real reason viruses, he’d say, always need a live host is that viruses aren’t a parasite at all, they are not a foreign invader infecting the host, they are an intrinsic part and parcel of the host. The nominal “disease” is not the body going wrong, it’s the body activating a sensible biological program to cope with an unexpected emergency.
Lanka is a believer in GNM (German New Medicine) which explains diseases using a completely different paradigm from viral theory. It’s a more detailed, complex version of terrain theory.
Say you ingest something extremely harmful to the body. This means the body cannot digest what you ingested. So it has to expel it. This is what then happens:
1) the body comes into contact with some rancid foodstuff or some other substance harmful to it
2) the brain activates the “stomach flu” emergency biological program every human body is equipped with; it does this to instantly start purging the body of the harmful substance that was involuntarily ingested
3) we know this is what happens because a particular configuration of concentric circles or rings shows up on CT brain scans when the patient is “sick” with stomach flu: and it always shows up in a precise area of the brain that is always the same for all people in the throes of stomach flu. If they have a different illness then the location of the ring pattern will be elsewhere in the brain. When the “stomach flu” program switches off and they feel better the ring pattern vanishes and can no longer be seen on the scans.
4) the particular symptoms of the “stomach flu” make perfect sense in dealing with the biological threat posed by an ingested toxin or rotten, indigestible food — because what are these symptoms? The body goes straight into “vomit and diarrhea” mode - why? Because that’s the quickest, most efficient way to expel anything toxic to the body that shouldn’t be there and simply can’t be digested and integrated into your system — and could cause permanent injury or death if not very quickly eliminated from the body
Viruses are a redundant explanation for why the stomach flu exists. People who drink unpurified, unboiled water in Mexico, for example, and then get sick are not getting sick from viruses in the water, but from bacteria. Stomach flu is not a biological mistake, it’s the body’s very efficient way of purging the body of whatever shouldn’t be there and which would constitute a serious health hazard if not eliminated as fast as possible via vomiting and diarrhea.

The difference between bacteria and viruses, which is more harmful, and how to prevent infection from both
Bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of disease, but they have some key differences. Here's what you need to know.

- Most bacteria aren't harmful to humans, but most viruses are potentially harmful.
- Bacteria are living organisms, while viruses are parasitic and need a live host to reproduce.
