Post Content
Wow, you obviously know what you're talking about. Question for you. I'm 57 and healthy. I have never had a flu shot. I don't do anything to avoid germs... I touch everything with my bare hands including public toilet seats and doors. Perhaps twice in my life I have had the flu. I stayed in bed, drank tons of water. Wouldn't I have the same outcome if ebola entered my body? Wouldn't my own immune system deal with it?

It would do everything it could to deal with it. But some things are just to strong for us. AIDS, Smallpox, etc. You have to understand that these things are not just invaders, they are trying to spread, trying to survive. They are doing everything they can to continue the spread of their "species". We are the means for many viruses to do just that. It's not that your immune system can't fight it, it could, it would try, it's the fact that viruses depend on your body trying to fight it. Your immune response, coughing, sneezing, puking, sweating etc. that is how they spread. They make your body fight them, so they can invade another host.

Does that help?

It does, but is that not the essence of the battle? The body fights by trying to expel the invader through sneezing, puking, sweating, peeing, and diahrea. It has worked perfectly for me so far. Ebola is different from influenza, on the same level as AIDS? My body can't beat this one?
