Viruses and Obesity- A Forum Post
Hi Everyone,
In keeping with my newest "obsession" with viruses and their role in so many
disease states, I had to respond to this post.
First of all, it would be great for everyone to do an Internet search for "virus,
obesity". You will find some really cool stuff along these lines....really cool. You may also come to the conclusion that
I have that lipomas are viral tumors. (Personally, I believe what some researchers have said for years: That ALL neoplasia
is ultimately viral, with carcinogens simply being the "triggers" that are making the viruses form the tumors. But, that is
a whole 'nother post).
So, what you then see is that obesity CAN be viral, as a study showed in chickens
(that you may have found on that Internet search).Yes, they showed by feeding three groups of chickens the exact same amount
of food that the one group possessing a certain virus gained three times more weight (in fat) than the other two groups without
that virus. After my study of lectins and viral response, this made perfect sense to me. And what do they feed chickens? Feed
loaded with gluten grains (wheat in particular), corn and now soy....three of the "big 4" foods that I write so much
about and those with THE most damaging lectins. We can then also see why corn-fed/grain-fed beef develop the desired...but
totally unnatural...marbling of the meat. Fat is being deposited within the muscle. Hmmm...why would that happen???
Now, if viruses ARE involved in fat production (e.g. marbling of meat, lipomas,
and obesity), then an appropriate immune response is necessary to keep that process in check just as in any virus-related
disorder (e.g. cancer and immune-mediated disorders such as chronic active hepatitis caused by Hep B in people). Immune suppression
would lead to a worsening of that condition, wouldn't it?
And that is exactly what air pollution does. It is inflammatory to all tissues,
toxic and/or carcinogenic, and immunosuppressive...a really bad combo when viruses are afoot. And where are many of our toxins
stored??? In the fat, as the poster so accurately pointed out, in that same fat where viruses are hanging out.
So, now you see why I had to post here. This is a glaring example of what I have
been studying for the past few years...the role of chronic latent viruses (many of which are embedded in our very genome)
in our disease states, whether it be cancer, epilepsy, chronic active hepatitis, MS, obesity or cold sores. The cool thing
to see is that they are NOT the malicious creatures we have made them out to be. They are simply responding to the insults
that we keep throwing at them (and man are we throwing some toxic garbage at them).
So, there IS merit to the claims that some (but certainly not all) individuals
cannot loose weight by conventional means. Why? Because they are immunosuppressed, something that is much harder to reverse
than caloric intake. In fact, some diets make this immune deficiency WORSE, again substantiating the claims that dieting made
things worse. I have had dogs GAIN weight on weight loss dog foods. Why? Because they incorrectly take out the fat and add
MORE grains, the very thing leading to the obesity. Talk about an upside-down approach. But now we know why...right? :):):)
I hope this helps, John
PS. Does obesity really kill as many people as claimed? Does obesity really lead
to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes as so many purport? OR, do the foods (and chemicals) that cause the obesity lead to
these other conditions?
If we are going to label something a "cause", we better be able to explain why
it doesn't cause the problem in all cases. When we see that the virus is the cause of (all) cancer, then we can see why Aunt
Edna smoked 5 packs a day til she was hit by a bus at age 97 and never developed lung cancer. Smoking doesn't "cause" lung
cancer, BUT it IS one heck of a trigger. Many conditions are "syndromes", with causes (e.g. viruses), triggers (e.g.carcinogens)
and immune suppression all being required to yield the ultimate outcome (e.g. cancer).

I hope you enjoyed your time here and got something important from your stay. It is
my goal to help all of mankind navigate through the jungle of medical information now available on the Internet and find the
truth about the origins of what we call "disease" as well as discover the natural solutions for these conditions.
We do have our health's destiny in our own hands more than we've ever
imagined, certainly more than most have ever been told. Think naturally and the answer will come.

You can now go to the new site!
The New DogtorJ.com is done! Yes, the time has finally come for this homemade Website to go the way of the
buffalo. I know that you all join me in looking forward to using a site that is better organized and more accessible....prettier,
too! I've even corrected most of those annoying typos (I hope).
Feel free to check it out now at www.dogtorj.com. I am still working hard to populate all of the pages so don't worry if a link does not work. They should
all be active in the near future. In the meantime,
this current site will remain on-line until I get all of the bugs worked out.
Let me know what you think! It's not too late to make some changes.

I would still like to hear
from you personally, though.
I used to have a nice little form in this space that would
allow readers to send me a quick comment or testimonial. Unfortunately, as the Interent goes, I started getting
50-100 junk emails through this form and had to remove it.
So, until the new Website is up and running (soon!), I will have
to ask people to formulate an Email of their own and send it. I do want to hear from you so I would really appreciate
it if you could take the time to do this.
Simply title your Email "Visitor Comment" and include your name, occupation, comment/testimonial and
return Email address (if you want to be contacted) and send it to:
dogtorj @ dogtorj.com (Just remove the spaces on each side of the @ sign)
Please do not use this form to ask medical questions. See
the Contact section for instructions for sending DogtorJ an Email inquiry concerning a medical
condition.

Great News!
DogtorJ.com will
be getting a major facelift in the very near future. Yes, the time has finally come for this homemade Website
to be taken over by someone who actually knows what they are doing. I know that you all join me in looking forward to having
the site better organized and more accessible. It'll be prettier, too!
This is taking place for a number of reasons, the most of important
of which will be revealed in the upcoming months. Yes, the book is finally in the works but there will be a
major awareness project to go along with it.
So, please stay tuned. Anyone who would like to get on my mailing list can do so by simply using the visitor's comment area (like the one above)
found at the bottom of each page.
Onward and upward!
Dogtor J
