Direct Template and the Theoretical Structure of Antibodies (1930-1940)

I found that Landsteiner and I had a much different approach to science: Landsteiner would ask, ‘What do these experimental observations force us to believe about the nature of the world?’ and I would ask, ‘What is the most simple, general and intellectually satisfying picture of the world that encompasses these observations and is not… Continue reading Direct Template and the Theoretical Structure of Antibodies (1930-1940)

The Antibody Equation (1929)

It is very apparent to anyone looking into the origins of antibodies that the idea of what these entities are in terms of how they look and how they function came well before any attempts to actually purify, isolate, and characterize the assumed particles. Antibodies were (and still are) nothing more than unseen theoretical constructs… Continue reading The Antibody Equation (1929)

Paul Ehrlich’s Side-Chain Antibody Theory (1900) Part 2: The Complement System

For of course it would be absurd to imagine that the mechanical diagrams have any representation in the world of fact. They are figments of the imagination, and may serve some useful purpose as picture books serve in teaching a child the alphabet. But as the time comes when the child puts aside the blocks… Continue reading Paul Ehrlich’s Side-Chain Antibody Theory (1900) Part 2: The Complement System

Paul Ehrlich’s Side-Chain Antibody Theory (1900) Part 1

In 1900, Paul Ehrlich, considered the “Father of Chemotherapy,” took a shot at creating a theoretical explanation for how immunity occurs inside the human body. According to Ehrlich’s Nobel Prize biography, while working with Behring’s anti-diphtheria serum, Ehrlich was said to have standardized this serum in units related to a fixed and invariable standard. Previously,… Continue reading Paul Ehrlich’s Side-Chain Antibody Theory (1900) Part 1

Emil Von Behring’s Diphtheria/Tetanus Papers (1890): Precursor to Antibodies

Emil Von Behring is considered the “Father of Immunology” which creates some confusion as Edward Jenner is also considered the “Father of Immunology.” Either Immunology has two daddies or you can pick whichever one you like best I suppose. In any case, it was Behring’s work that created the hypothesis that there were certain components… Continue reading Emil Von Behring’s Diphtheria/Tetanus Papers (1890): Precursor to Antibodies

Beware the Snake Oil Salesmen

“My story has never been to create fear, panic, and anxiety about water.” He said he told Peters that he believes “there’s actually a snake venom connection to all of COVID-19, and I think that’s the weapon.” – Dr. Bryan Ardis https://www.thedailybeast.com/covid-conspiracy-theorists-are-at-war-over-snake-venom Summarizing his theory, Dr. Ardis said, “They are using Krait venom and Cobra… Continue reading Beware the Snake Oil Salesmen

Antibody Specificity?

“No, there is no such thing as a monoclonal antibody that, because it is monoclonal, recognizes only one protein or only one virus. It will bind to any protein having the same (or a very similar) sequence.” -Clifford Saper, one of the world’s leading authorities on monoclonal antibodies, Harvard Medical School professor https://off-guardian.org/2021/03/06/the-antibody-deception/ One of… Continue reading Antibody Specificity?

The Antibody Mess: Contradictions and Confusion

Illustration by Peter Hamlin.;

SEROCONVERSION: The development of detectable antibodies in the blood that are directed against an infectious agent. https://www.medicinenet.com/seroconversion/definition.htm Antibodies are supposed to be a sign that one has fought off an infection. These tiny unseen theoretical proteins are supposed to attach to the “virus” and clear it out of the body while leaving behind an army… Continue reading The Antibody Mess: Contradictions and Confusion

Antibodies Are Not Required For Immunity

It is very important to understand that when the scientific community and the MSM talk about antibodies, they are speaking about particles never proven to exist. Like “viruses,” antibodies have never been purified/isolated directly from humans nor have they been EM imaged from completely purified samples where these tiny proteins are separated from everything else.… Continue reading Antibodies Are Not Required For Immunity
