 Germ theory is a good one.

@Byzantine posted some stuff ages ago and I conceded I couldn’t traverse that rabbit hole. Not sure I understand the science stuff behind it well enough to even dive in. 
 I'll dig into it one day; must leave no stone unturned... 😄

 I read a book that basically said sickness is your body attempt to cleanse itself from toxicity. Changes in weather trigger it. And that your body expels a “virus” when it finishes the cleansing process the same way that you expel feces after eating. But the virus isn’t contagious and medicine suppresses this cleansing process which makes your body more toxic and more susceptible to having a worse sickness later on.
