Non-Pathogenic Germs
Non-Pathogenic GermsWhen there is complete adaptative action on the part of InnateIntelligence and the germs are excreted immediately without theproduction of symptoms or ill effects to the body, the germs aresaid to be non-pathogenic. This is not so much because of thecharacter of the germs but because of the ability of Innate toexcrete them as waste material.CommunicabilityThis term refers to the ease with which the germs pass fromone host to another. Chiropractic has proven the fallacy of thetheory that dis-ease is produced in this way. Patients become illwith the so-called communicable dis-eases and are not exposed tothe germs that are supposed to cause the disease. It is also a provenfact that the so-called germ dis-eases develop in many cases inwhich there are no germs to be found in the pathological tissue.HostThe host is an organism which affords lodgment and sus-tenance to parasite and commensal organisms. The invadingorganisms may be beneficial, they may be harmful or they mayproduce no effect.ParasitesParasites are those living organisms, either plant or animal,which live in, on, or with some other living organism, known asthe host, from which they obtain their food, shelter and otheradvantages. They are of two classes—ectoparasites andendoparasites—and may be either plant or animal organisms. Anectoparasite is one that lives upon the outside of another livingorganism known as the host. The endoparasite is one that liveswithin the body of the host. This explains so much of the body and its ability to heal.
