Some peeps prefer to stick to one subject because looking at that one topic is a big enough task. I only started speaking out about virology once I was sure about what I was saying and it really is simple once you learn the terminology.

If I had to comment on other subjects it would be an uniformed opinion based on what other's have said and I really don't like giving such an opinion.

But we need people attacking the issue from different angles.

Thanks for the mention man.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries was my favorite teacher on vaccines, but the no virus debate has confused me enormously. I understand that no particle has been isolated but in homeopathy we have nosodes made from disease matter. The Mumps nosode is said to have come from the isolated virus, other nosodes, like measles, came from disease matter from a child with measles. According to Dr. Isaac Golden who wrote a Phd on the collected data from families using these nosodes, they are very effective at preventing the targeted disease and also effective treatment when one does get the disease. These reports are corroborated by many clinical homeopaths and physicians as well as people using this therapy. Is the virus debate a red herring? The chicken pox vaccine has reduced it's incidence enormously. It has suppressed it's circulation in the environment. This is a problem because we are deprived of exogenous boosting and therefore shingles has become prevalent. These are observable facts. Is it important to know that the papers presented on how they isolated the particle are unscientific? All I know is that I can't expose my children to chicken pox or measles or mumps anymore and they are missing out on this very important exposure.

What do you say to this response to the question on the square-cube law and dinosaurs?

The square-cube law absolutely applies to animals, but, it only applies to when you scale up the same shape and materials.

Animals don't do this; they evolve different body plans and skeletal arrangements relative to their body size.

Lets say you were able to scale up a human to double-size - roughly 12 feet tall. Your bone thickness and muscle strength all get multiplied by 4, but your volume (ie, weight) gets multiplied by 8. So by rough maths, the bones would be under 2 times as much stress, and the muscles are working 2 times harder. In fact, the tallest human ever, who was just shy of 9 feet, couldn't stand without the aid of leg braces, for this exact reason.

So how do we have animals alive today that are much taller than 12 feet and move around just fine? Simply, they aren't scaled-up versions of other animals; they evolved a specialised musculoskeletal system that works for their scale. They have proportionally thicker bones, walk on four legs, have specialised feet and circulatory systems.

Dinosaurs had even more specialisations for their large sizes. Even the largest sauropods had hollow bones - this reduces weight while retaining strength, so a sauropod would weigh a lot less than an Elephant scaled up to sauropod size, for example. Many dinosaurs weighed a lot less than you would expect, given their size.
