We DO see bacteria invading the body and then see a response. Terrain theory posits that the bacteria dying releases matter that causes cellular response if the body is disregulated. Its essentially a different way to look at the underlying cause of the same phenomena.
We have never seen a live virus. You cant see living things in an electron microscope.
Look, im not saying it isn't right. Im saying that there are flaws in the theory that need to be understood and addressed, and we as critical thinking white men need to be made aware that these questions exist and have validity. This shouldn't be an either or argument but a collaborative discussion.
I believe that elements of terrain theory are demonstrated within germ theory, as in immune compromise and opportunistic infection, all infection can be see as opportunistic, but I don't see there being the generation of pathogens from benign microbes due to the presence of diseased tissue. The microbial nature doesn't change, just the body's ability to regulate it. So in times of dysfunction, infectious pathogens become overpopulated and cause symptoms. You can see that with candida where it exists naturally on our skin but becomes a yeast infection when overgrown.
