The energetic causes of infections

What’s the energy of certain infections? Why does one person get sick but another person doesn’t when they’re exposed to the same microbe? What’s going on from an energetic perspective?

We are walking ecosystems. We have microbes all over our body-- on our skin, in our intestines, and on all of our mucosal surfaces from our mouth to our anus. In fact, we have far more microbial cells than human cells, which begs the question if we should be calling ourselves “me” or “we.”

Dr. Rife conducted some experiments in the 1930s that showed that bacteria, viruses, and cancer calls emit a certain frequency, or resonance, and likewise, they can be destroyed by applying a certain frequency. This has recently been validated using modern technology. Therefore, we can start to consider how our own energy and how we are negatively affected by outside energies might make us susceptible to infection and disease.

Germ theory was proposed by Louis Pasteur, who invented pasteurization and antibiotics. Pasteur believed germs were “bad” and the cause of disease. His contemporary Antione Bechamp, on the otherhand, developed the Terrain theory that posited that the health of the ecosystem is more important than any one microbe.

Let’s discuss the energetic signature of the main microbes that infect humans. This post is inspired by my teacher Cyndi Dale, and I have modified her teachings to incorporate my own observations performing intuitive session and my knowledge about the human microbiome.

Bacteria

Bacteria are by far the most abundant microbes on our body, especially in our intestines and skin. They regulate a ton of aspects related to our health such as metabolism, immune system, mood, bone health, skin health, etc. Therefore, not all bacteria are bad. The issue is when our inner terrain becomes imbalanced and we become susceptible to an infection.

From an energetic perspective, any issue with our energetic boundaries makes us susceptible to a bacterial infection. I often see bacteria being associated with unprocessed emotions, and when we let that emotion fester, an infection can occur. This is often true with the emotions of fear, stress, anger, and anxiety. Microbiome studies have validated this by discovering the gut-brain axis and we now know that our gut microbes can produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which travel up and down the vagus nerve.

Bacteria are highly affected by the diet we eat and also have their own circadian rhythm. In fact, bacteria absorb UV light and emit their own light. As I’ve been saying, it’s all about getting back to basics and getting out in the sunlight and nature.

So we can think about what kind of energies or “vibes” do we have? Are we not shining brightly enough?

Viruses

Viruses are fragments of DNA or RNA (genetic materia) encased in a protein. Technically they’re not considered living, and some text books consider them to be more like parasites.

A virus invades living cells and uses their chemical machinery to keep itself alive and to replicate itself. Viruses are often associated with infections like colds and the flu, but more recently they have been associated with some cancers although this hasn’t been proven yet.

Approximately 10% of the human genome (the collection of all our genes) contain viral genetic material.  On the other hand, more than 50% of the human genome comprises virus relics and virus-like structures (such as endogenous retroviruses) meaning that we need to reconsider the role viruses play in human health, disease and genetics.

In fact, there’s a lot of doubt about whether viruses really exist because they cannot be isolated. The electron microscope pictures we currently have only show the body’s response to the “virus” but not the virus in isolation.

From an energetic perspective, viruses often connect to forces or outside energies that we energetically match to. For example, coronavirus is strongly associated with the dark force of fear as well as grief. In TCM the lungs are associated with grief. Epstein Barr, which has been highly associated with triggering various autoimmune diseases, is associated with lack of self-love. HIV I believe is associated with a feeling of powerlessness and sexual shame. Likewise, HPV is often associated with sexual shame.

Archaea

Along with bacteria, these are the oldest known forms of life on Earth. They’re known for living in very extreme environments like those with high temperatures or no oxygen.

It’s also debated as to whether the nucleus in eukaryotic cells (animal cells) come from archae or bacteria. Interesting to think about.

In our guts, most archaea produce the gas methane. They play an important role in reducing oxidative stress and increasing antioxidant activity. Archae populations in our gut are affected by our diet.

From an energetic perspective, since archaea are so well, archaic, we can think about which ancestral energies and emotions have we adopted as our own that aren’t in alignment with us.

Fungi and Yeast

We now know that without fungi, life on our planet basically wouldn’t exist. Fungi are most known for being able to decompose nutrients from plant and animal debris and return nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus back to the soil to keep it healthy.

In the gut, the fungi in our gut microbiome are collectively called the gut mycobiome, and help keep a balanced ecosystem in our intestines. The most common are Candida and Saccharomyces. Yeast are unicellular microorganisms whereas fungi are multicellular. Many intestinal diseases like colitis, Crohn’s and IBD are associated with an imbalanced gut mycobiome. 

We need yeast to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, but too much yeast can cause problems. The most common yeast in our bodies is Candida and is associated with eating too many simple sugars and carbohydrates. 

From an energetic perspective, we can think of yeast representing our cravings and desires that we’re ignoring. 

Candida is associated with vaginal yeast infections and sugar cravings if it’s overgrown in the intestines, whereas Saccharomyces is a beneficial probiotic that improves immune function and can help restore the gut microbiome after taking antibiotics.

From an energetic perspective, I like to think of fungi being related to mutualism and our sense of community. Do we feel like we belong in our community? Do we have strong connections in our relationships? Are we able to take lemons and make them into lemonade just like the way mushrooms can turn decaying matter into nutrients for soil?

Parasites

Parasites are larger microorganisms that feed off the host. They do this by often sneaking around and avoiding being detected by our immune systems.

They can also affect our mood and cravings. We are literally being controlled by an entity.

From an energetic perspective, parasites can open our eyes to areas in our life where we might be taken advantage of by our weak boundaries. It can also be a sign that we are giving too much, or people are taking too much from us (like energy vampires) and we are getting nothing in return in our relationships or job. 

This is by no means an exhaustive list, by some examples to get you thinking in case you experience recurrent infections.
