What if everything you were taught about how a virus is discovered and proven is flawed? Today I'm joined by Dr. Thomas Cowan, a family physician of 37 years who spent his career practicing conventional medicine before turning his attention to the foundational evidence behind virology, immunology, and disease itself.
Dr. Tom walks us through how viruses like polio, measles, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 have historically been "isolated" in lab settings and why he questions the reliability of PCR and antibody testing. He believes symptoms like fevers, rashes, and tumors are the body's own healing response rather than disease caused by an outside pathogen.
We also get into his views on autoimmune disease, cholesterol, and blood pressure. If you're the kind of person who likes to question what you've been told and prefers to look at the primary research findings, this conversation will give you plenty to explore.
"The things we call symptoms are not diseases. They are the body's attempt to heal." ~ Dr. Thomas Cowan
