Are antibiotics effective?

Mainstream wisdom is that antibiotics are one of the greatest discoveries in medicine and have saved millions of lives. However, studies proving this are hard to find, leading to many now taking the position that bacterial infections simply do not exist and that bacteria will only consume tissue that is already dead.

Denis Rancourt decided to look into this and a discussion can be found on his Twitter feed here: https://x.com/denisrancourt/status/1953522591806763085

His short summary: “Can’t find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showing a curative effect, only reduction of symptoms and AEs...”

Four papers are listed. One comment on the thread suggests that antibiotics work in the specific case of cystitis.

This page presents a hypothesis explaining these results based upon the bio-field model outlined here: The nature of the bio-field. A theoretical argument is given as to why it may be impossible for bacteria to destroy healthy cells and a definition of ‘healthy’ is proposed. An argument is given to explain many cases of spontaneous remission as a bio-field state change in response to the administration of a variety of toxins including antibiotics.

The Cochrane papers

  • Antibiotics for acute bronchitis (review) – Smith, Fahey..
  • Immediate versus delayed versus no antibiotics for respiratory
    infections (Review) – Spurling et al.
  • Antibiotic therapy for the treatment of infective endocarditis – Martí-Carvajal 

The review of the Cochrane papers:

Antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections: an overview of Cochrane reviews – B. Arrol https://t.co/nG98xVBKGn

The four Cochrane reviews reveal a limited role for antibiotics in the four upper respiratory tract infections discussed above. Other than for radiologically proven acute maxillary sinusitis, the reviewers do not recommend antibiotics as a first choice treatment for any of the four conditions.

Guidelines tend to reflect the level and type of evidence that a group will accept, and this may explain why the guidelines from the Infectious Disease Society of America (2002) recommend routine treatment for otitis media, whereas the Cochrane reviewers are more cautious.

There has long been a consensus about the lack of need for antibiotics and, even with the new information on acute purulent rhinitis (along with a common cold), the reviewers remain consistent with the older guidelines in not recommending antibiotics as a first-line treatment.

From the paper:

  • Routine antibiotics for the four aspects of acute upper respiratory tract infection are not mandated for non-severe cases.
  • Antibiotics for acute otitis media are effective but the NNTB is about 15.
  • Delayed prescriptions for antibiotics for acute otitis media may be a good compromise for not giving immediate antibiotics.
  • Antibiotics may not be necessary for sore throat in areas where rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis are uncommon.
  • Antibiotics are not effective for the common cold.
  • Antibiotics may be effective for acute purulent rhinitis associated with the common cold, but their routine use is (not?) mandated as most patients will get better without antibiotics.

Antibiotics for cystitis

Antibiotics versus placebo in the treatment of women with uncomplicated cystitis: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials – Falagas et al.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0163445309000024

Antibiotics are superior to placebo regarding both clinical and microbiological success in adult non-pregnant women with microbiologically confirmed acute uncomplicated cystitis. However, they are associated with more adverse events.

So it appears that antibiotics are effective against cystitis. However, we still don’t know if the mechanism is that which is claimed by the mainstream narrative. Do they really work by killing off the bad bacteria or is there some other process at work?

The central thesis of this website is that biological systems are regulated by an electro-magnetic bio-field that is open to disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field and uses various cosmic rhythms (diurnal, solar and lunar cycles) as pace-setters (Brown). Disruption of such a system is synonymous with what we call disease, symptoms arise from dis-regulation and will often coincide with measurable atmospheric events as in the case of influenza.

Cystitis is related to menstrual cycles

A search using an AI engine easily provides a nice summary with references:

Fluctuations in hormone levels, especially oestrogen, during the menstrual cycle can affect bladder sensitivity and potentially trigger or worsen cystitis symptoms.

Oestrogen plays a role in maintaining the bladder lining and vaginal flora. Lower oestrogen levels, particularly during menstruation, can make the bladder more susceptible to irritation and infection. 

While hormonal changes are a key factor, other elements like stress, sexual activity, and hygiene practices can also contribute to cystitis flare-ups during the menstrual cycle. 

Changes in hormone levels are indicative of changes in regulation and regulation is managed by the bio-field.

Low oestrogen may make the bladder more susceptible to inflammation – but why? and what causes low oestrogen in the first place?

Cystitis is linked to changes in the weather

Again, from an AI engine:

Yes, some studies suggest a link between atmospheric conditions and cystitis. Specifically, warmer weather has been associated with an increased risk of UTIs, including cystitis. Conversely, colder weather can make the body more vulnerable to infections, potentially increasing the risk of cystitis. 

Some individuals report that changes in air pressure (like drops during storms) can trigger flares of interstitial cystitis, a condition that can cause symptoms similar to cystitis. 

While not definitively proven, some studies suggest a potential link between humidity and UTI risk. 

Some studies have observed a seasonal pattern in UTI incidence, with higher rates in warmer months. 

Many individuals with IC/BPS experience a worsening of symptoms during specific times of the year, often coinciding with seasonal allergies or changes in weather. 

So cystitis is related to warm weather, cold weather, too humid, too dry, wrong season etc. As with influenza, the common factor here is very likely that which is described by the very last phrase above: “changes in the weather”.

Changes in the weather

The weather changes when a pressure front passes overhead and this triggers all sorts of interesting conditions but almost all entail some sort of electrical disturbance and it is these effects that are responsible for disturbing the regulatory system and thereby causing disease.

Pressure fronts are accompanied by turbulence in the atmosphere which causes the movement of charged particles in the air which in turn leads to the propagation of electromagnetic impulses (sferics). Sferics can propagate with little attenuation and can be detected thousands of kilometres from their source (Wikipedia) . It is these electromagnetic energies that alter the normal functioning of the indigenous bio-field to cause a variety of supposed ‘infections’ and other disease types.


Cells and vortex energy: a hypothesis

The page The nature of the bio-field describes a biological organism as being regulated by an electromagnetic bio-field that consist of a series of nested vortices. The physical body is created by such a field and as such reflects the overall fractal toroidal topology.

The body is both formed and maintained by this energy structure and any depletion or dis-regulation will lead to problems.

A single cell consists of a single energy torus with the nucleus at the vortex ‘radius’. The energy structure of a cell is that of a spherical vortex with negative electrical field spinning around the periphery. This spinning field gives rise to a magnetic dipole and it is these magnetic forces that hold the cells together, whilst the electrical ‘zeta potential’ keeps them spaced apart and prevents them collapsing.

Bacteria have the same form and they must contend with strong electromagnetic forces in order to move about and reproduce. The negative electric potential of healthy cells makes it impossible for a bacterium to approach a cell sufficiently closely for it to consume it.

If a cell is deprived of energy for long enough then the vortex structure will weaken and so will the zeta potential. The cell is not holding together so well and is not adhering to its neighbours; the tissue is weakening. After a while the repulsive forces are so weak that bacterium are able to approach the cell and dismantle the whole structure.

This, then, gives a theoretical basis to the idea that bacteria cannot infect healthy tissue and this seems to be confirmed by the data above.

Membranes are sensitive

A membrane represents a sharp discontinuity of electrical potential and appears to be a sensitive spot in biological systems, with problems commonly occurring at the skin, interior of arteries, bladder, lungs and upper respiratory tract. Energy in the body is delivered centripetally via a vortex system and there is no way that a membrane is going to be at the centre of a sizeable vortex. We must therefore expect that certain areas of the body are more prone to tissue degeneration and hence opportune ‘infections’ from bacteria.

Cystitis as an energy deficit

Cystitis is correlated with menstruation and so we can hypothesise that a significant amount of energy may be diverted to the uterus for repair purposes and that there is therefore something of a deficit created in neighbouring organs, including the bladder.

An energy deficit means less vortex energy for the cells, weakening of tissue and an increased likelihood of bacterial proliferation.

Cystitis is also associated with changes in the weather. These affect bio-regulation and the menstrual cycle seems particularly sensitive to such disturbances. A disturbed regulatory system could conceivably redirect energy away from the bladder without triggering menstruation and again, the result is an ‘infection’.

The apparent success of antibiotics

The body is regulated by a bio-field and this has the nature of a ‘control system‘. Such systems can undergo rapid state changes sometimes; we may suddenly fall asleep or wake up, suddenly feel sad or experience a sudden temperature flush.

These changes may occur for no discernible reason or may happen as the result of some sort of shock whether it be psychological, physical or pharmacological. We should therefore consider the possibility that similar shocks may promote a sudden shift in regulation that actually restores correct functioning, i.e. a ‘miracle’ cure.

Miracle cures

Sudden and unexpected cures abound. There are many well documented cases at holy springs such as Lourdes and many modern day cases arising from the administration of toxins such as hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin or large doses of vitamins C or D.

The Lourdes Medical Cures Revisited – Francois, Sternberg, Fee. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3854941

There was lots of anecdotal evidence for instant and otherwise inexplicable cures resulting from visits to Lourdes and consumption of, or immersion in, the local spring water. A church commission was set up to assess the miraculous nature of the phenomena and, more interestingly, a medical board was organised to evaluate their scientific validity.

The paper concludes that:

  • Many instantaneous remissions occur
  • Many of these are permanent cures
  • Most patients are women
  • The diseases most commonly cured were tuberculosis and some form of depression
  • An attitude of prayer (a receptive state) is thought to be important
  • The rate of cures has dropped off as the incidence of tuberculosis has waned

Patients report an instantaneous sense of relief, a return of energy, optimism and appetite. People can go from years of being barely alive to completely revitalised. Sometimes the cure is complete in a few seconds and sometimes full recovery takes a few weeks after the initial impulse.

Antibiotic success as a miracle cure

The proposal then, is that cures from antibiotics or other poisons may be via a similar process. A toxin is administered, the regulatory system experiences a ‘shock’ and initiates some emergency protocol that results in a redistribution of energy within the body.

Miracle cures depend upon the interposition of a ‘cognitive’ bio-field between the actual cause the perceived effect and as a consequence will be effectively impenetrable to organised study. We cannot measure the bio-field and cannot therefore predict outcomes with any degree of certainty.

Anecdotal evidence vs control trials

The experiences of any individual are therefore unique to the individual and may not be in any way representative of population outcomes, they may not accurately delineate a relationship between cause and effect.

Population outcomes themselves are clearly dependent upon season and specific weather conditions but these are rarely controlled for, taken into account or even mentioned. The possible interaction between the Earth’s magnetic field and the intervention in question is never explored.

Experiments on tissue cultures

The claim here is that a cell depends upon a regulated supply of a particular type of energy (free energy, Gibbs energy, vortex energy) for its health and specific biological instructions for its function. In experiments performed outside of a complete organism the cell is missing both of these elements. It therefore does not qualify as a ‘living cell’ and the relevance of such experiments is literally meaningless unless there is some specific argument to the contrary.

Cells that lack sufficient energy are more likely to break down and are more likely to succumb to bacterial proliferation.

Bacterial cultures themselves are susceptible to external electromagnetic influence and demonstrate variability according to solar and lunar cycles, e.g. Mirror Cytopathic Effect

Ambient EMF will vary by significant factors from one end of a laboratory to another.


Summary

  • There is no good evidence that antibiotics cure bacterial infection in the way claimed
  • There is still no evidence that bacteria can infect healthy tissue and we now have a plausible theoretical argument that supports the idea that such a thing is impossible
  • The idea that depleted energy is the cause of cellular degeneration can be used as an objective definition of what constitutes ‘healthy’ tissue
  • Apparent cures of many diseases may be ‘miracle’ cures caused by a state-change of a bio-field
  • Weather changes are important influences in the cause of many diseases and in the absence of true infection of either bacteria or viruses, the sole cause of many diseases may be electromagnetic disturbances of a bio-field resulting from such changes
  • Control studies may be very misleading if they are not cognisant of the above points
