| 0:00.0 | The overwhelming majority of people approach reality as if it's a well-established, |
| 0:04.2 | irrefutable fact that disease is spread via the fluids of a sick person. |
| 0:09.1 | From the time that we're a little kid for virtually anyone, |
| 0:12.2 | we're told to stay away from others when they're sick. |
| 0:14.6 | We're told that when someone is sneezing and coughing, having diarrhea, |
| 0:17.5 | throwing up, et cetera, et cetera, that they could pass something to us and we might |
| 0:21.7 | get sick as well. But has this idea that fluids from a sick person cause disease or illness and |
| 0:29.2 | a healthy person been established empirically? Is it actually true? Are there other explanations |
| 0:35.7 | for the phenomenon of two or more people getting sick in the same |
| 0:38.8 | space with similar symptoms? Of course, if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, |
| 0:44.1 | you already know where I stand on this issue and you know that I've recorded a number of episodes |
| 0:49.3 | related to terrain-based health and the pseudoscience of the failed germ hypothesis. |

| 0:59.9 | or my guest, Daniel Roytoss, has written a book on it. But as you'll find out during this |
| 1:05.5 | episode, there's a lot more to this topic than what we've been told. And I think that this is one of my |
| 1:13.9 | all-time favorite episodes. Daniel Roytas trained as a naturopath, nutritionist, physical therapist, |
| 1:20.4 | and psychotherapist. He was a lecture and senior lecture of nutritional medicine at various |
| 1:25.8 | colleges and universities around Australia for over a decade. |
| 1:29.7 | After realizing the issues with the natural medicine industry, Daniel resigned in 2022 to focus |
| 1:35.6 | on discovering the truth about health and wellness and educating people about what he had found |
| 1:41.0 | on his platform humanly. And you can find more about his platform in Daniel's |
| 1:46.0 | book in the show notes. He recently released a book, Can You Catch a Cold, Untold History and |
