I have been suffering from terrible periods since I entered puberty many many years ago. It is thankfully a lot better now, but it used to be really bad when I was younger. As a result, I spent a lot of time looking for answers to what was making me so ill during that time of the month and some kind of cure or at least something to relieve my problems. So off to the gynocologist I went for the very first time as a 12 or 13 year old. As you could imagine, I was both extremely uncomfortable and scared through the whole experience and the treatment I got from the doctor in question didn't help. Despite being a virgin, she announced that I clearly suffer from an STI (although she couldn't tell me which one) and more or less forced me to take a test despite my protests. The issue of my periods were quickly dismissed the instant I got on the examination-chair and instead the focus was on this STI that she had decided that I was suffering from (even though I had no symptoms other than regular discharge, mind you). I'm 36 now and I still have never gotten an answer to what is causing my periods to be so debilitating.

Maybe 10 or so years ago, I was accused by a now ex-boyfriend of giving him an STI (again, I never found out which one). His reasoning was that I had clearly cheated on him and this was proof. Despite not having any symptoms myself, again, I went to the doctor twice(!) to get tested for everything under the sun and it all came back negative. So my reasoning was that if he has an STI and I don't, then he must have gotten it from someone else and instead of just admitting it, he is pointing the finger at me. And that was the end of our relationship.

I wonder how many people have found themselves in similar situations where a test has resulted in the end of a relationship because each side has mistakenly believed that the other side has done something they haven't.

Excellent article, as usual, Dawn. It was reading about the Perth group's work and their publications that I first began my mind shift regarding STDs. Until then, I had just accepted the mainstream explanation as fact. There are several extremely harmful results of this paradigm in society, that I have observed and which can completely disappear when one admits the truth about contagion in general and STDs in particular: 1. That the individual is powerless and not fully responsible for his own health, 2. That fear and caution are misdirected against others instead of against a controlling and intrusive government, 3. That so-called remedies introduce their own harmful physical effects into the body, 4. The inevitable psychological discomfort and shame in this system along with the social coercion creating self-fulfilling behavior and illnesses in the public. This is definitely a tool of control of the weak! The truth will set you free in this very specific case, too.

Excellent work as usual. On a similar wavelength ... Dr. Sam Bailey has done a couple of recent videos on her channel (https://odysee.com/@drsambailey:c) on herpes and gonorrhea that are worth checking out ...

Thanks Sol. STDs are an important topic in view of the claims being made that monkeypox can be transmitted sexually - which is nonsense of course. I will watch Dr Sam Bailey's video.

My GF of 3 years told me before we got intimate that she had herpes. I laughed… which surprised her. She said she knew who she “caught” it from. I said, you didn’t catch anything. 3 years later and she still thinks I’m crazy but she hasn’t had any symptoms, or an “outbreak”. The fear and brainwashing done to people is the thing that upsets me the most…

Nice. You had more light than me but same outcome. When I met her my girlfriend told me she had herpes. In twenty years as girlfriend and wife I never got anything. But she gave it to two of her lovers. I don't wish ill on anyone but jeez, you gotta wonder about hexes and other mental stuff.

Thank you Dawn! This is such an important message. For me, this is the final nail in the coffin of germ theory. I’d love to see more information on what these phenomena of the genitals actually are, and alternative treatments/ ways of viewing it. I’m thoroughly convinced that germs are not the problem and that sexual transmission is not a thing— but what to tell my sixteen year old daughter? I don’t want to give her a blank check, yet don’t want to instill fear. I struggle with this. We need new books— volumes! To build a new paradigm. Again, thank you for your phenomenal work.

You're welcome Marie. The real causes of symptoms in the genital area is discussed in What Really Makes You Ill?

It's also discussed in this book by T C Fry.

Hi Dawn, I have felt called to stop going for smear tests. I am 33 and previously was told I had HPV and abnormal cells. Do you have any thoughts on smears please? Thank you.

Expand full comment
Dawn Lester's avatar

Hi Lucy, I do not give 'advice' as such. What I can say is that there is no evidence that any 'virus' causes any health issue, including cancer, which of course includes cervical cancer.

I would add that 'cancer' is not what the mainstream system claims it is.

This therefore raises questions about the usefulness of any 'test'.

I have written 2 other articles that you might find useful - if you haven't already read them.

I hope this helps.

Hi Dawn, thank you SO much.

I have been on a huge journey since 2020 and have began to learn much of this. I think the smear has been so programmed into me so this one has been hard to stop feeling guilty / concerned over.

We have so many people tell us we “must” do this and had the Jade Goody story here many years ago. I really appreciate you responding to me and understand that this cannot be “advice”.

I look forward to reading those links shortly. Much appreciated. And thanks for all of your information.

Thanks so much, my girl friend was told that she had hpv virus , we both were so depressed, we didn’t know what to do , we were afraid of getting cervical cancer and for me throat or anal cancer , I have a persistent sore throat and anal pain and itchy, that is why I was looking for getting more information about it , actually I got these health problems from a chronic stress about hpv .i still keep thinking about it , sorry , but it is not easy to get rid of this fear and anxiety.there is no test for men . Thanks a lot for your help and support, I hope , you could help me more by providing me with more information about hpv . Love your great work . I want to forget this hpv completely. They offered us a vaccine, but we refused to get it.

Dawn Lester's avatar

What is it that you would like me to tell you? There is no such thing as 'hpv', so I don't know what I can tell you.

We do have symptoms and they occur for a variety of reasons, including stress and fear.

Is it not helpful to know that there is no 'virus' you can catch that can cause cancer?

Have you considered the personal care products you use and whether they may contain lots of chemicals that could be causing the irritation and symptoms you are experiencing?

Actually, I have a chronic sore throat and some red patches and lumps on my tongue , then after my girlfriend was diagnosed with hpv , I went to a doctor . He said , my tongue and throat issues are from hpv . I know it is laughable the link between cancer and hpv , but the fear is in my head , and iam trying to get rid of this fear and stress.

Hi. I didn't realise you were waiting for an answer because you said you know the fear is in your head and you are trying to get rid of the fear and stress. What is it you wish me to answer?

Symptoms arise in the body for all sorts of reasons. One of those reasons may be to help us understand fear.

When you realise that there is no virus that can make you ill, is there still a reason to be fearful?

Thank Dawn for responding to me, I really appreciate it , you helped me by giving me information on all the so called viruses , my friend is doing great now from hepatitis b and now he has no worries about it, but we have a question, what cause herpes symptoms to arise if it is not a virus ?

Expand full comment
Dawn Lester's avatar

You're welcome, I'm glad it helped.

As I said in my reply of 20 May, there are different reasons that people may manifest symptoms, as I discuss in my article. However, calling them 'herpes' symptoms is unhelpful, because there is no such thing as a specific 'disease' that can be called herpes. This is discussed in the article where I reference the work of TC Fry.

Symptoms are often a manifestation of an unhealthy 'terrain', which could relate to the physical body or even to the mind.

Could you help me understanding the so called HPV and herpes better ? Especially hpv ? I am looking forward to seeing your opinion on them ?

Expand full comment
Dawn Lester's avatar

Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been away.

There is no evidence for such a thing as the 'human papillomavirus' that causes cancer. This is yet another extension of the false 'germ theory'.

What is called herpes is a set of symptoms that represents either the body's efforts to detox or the body's reaction to something physical or possibly metaphysical. There are different reasons that people manifest those symptoms, so it's not possible to say why any one person would manifest them.

I hope this helps.

Sorry, I need some information about hepatitis b, if A virus doesn’t cause it then what causes it , why some people get tested positive after having sexual inter course ?

Expand full comment
Dawn Lester's avatar

Hepatitis is not a 'thing'. It's a label that may be given to someone as the result of a test, but tests for 'viruses' are meaningless.

And even if someone has tested 'positive' after sexual intercourse, that doesn't mean that they have a health problem that is the result of the sexual intercourse.

It is possible that there may be some inflammation in the liver, which is what the -itis refers to, but this is completely different from the idea that a 'virus' is the cause.

A friend of mine got tested positive after having taken a test for hepatitis b. He has no problem just some body aches . The doctor told him , you should get vaccinated. The doctor said you have gotten from your girlfriend. I want to ask for your advice ? He doesn’t want to get vaccinated.

Expand full comment
Dawn Lester's avatar

I can't give 'medical advice' as such. There will be a reason he has body aches, but there is no evidence that these could have been caused by a virus, nor is there any evidence that any disease can be treated or prevented with a vaccine.

I would suggest you share this article of mine with your friend for him to read.

So my friend who suffered the repeated humiliation of having her genital warts burnt off in a training clinic and called her ex to fess up and it was in fact he who fessed up was just vibing hard with him to have got the exact same std and not a different one? And it was his powerful vibe that infected a bunch of other girls with warts and not something else? There you go Mitch, off the hook, can't help your vibe.

Well I'm not the necromancer who made it come up in my feed! I do believe you can cure anything with Joe Dispenza but if it's not true that diseases are sexually transmitted then how does a condom prevent them? It was terrible what happened to my friend and she had a chance encounter with another girl who got Mitched who confirmed everything.

That article appearing two-and-a-half years after it was written, and at least half the comments were from this week. What’s with that? It’s just so typical of how I’m lost on the internet. Why did no one else point that out? Maybe they’re not experiencing it.

Sheesh I thought you were more woo-woo than me but here’s me going all in I guess on last year’s decision to fully repudiate science. More woo woo than Tilly’s gotta mean something somewhere. An online friend got in touch with me again a couple of weeks ago. We broke up five years ago cuz I was getting grumpy about science and materialism and I was sorry to break it to him that I also broke up with science in 2024. It hadn’t done anything for me lately. He’s like: what’s that even mean? And I’m like: I guess you’re going to find out. I guess we’re both going to find out at some point. Case in point. Without science and, heck, without materialism in general, a condom’s easy: it’s a talisman. The users believe it to be an impermeable force, and so it is. Not sure if you saw my herpes story farther up in the notes. There aren’t that many notes—you should read it. It’s under some other guy’s herpes story. I prayed some fucken warts off in a church in Texas fifty years ago and those fuckers fell off right there in the church. Piles of ‘em. Yet for about forty years I went all sciencey and materialistical. Basically I’m like a doctor: I can solve other people’s medical problems by pointing out it’s all in their head. I can’t always solve mine the same way, however. Even though it is all in my head. Funny old world. Four years ago I cured cancer by laughing for two weeks. Two years ago I manifested $30,000 (a dramatic event which eventually led to me losing my wife, I suspect). I keep curing all sorts of shit on myself and then producing more and half the time I just have to laugh. I call it Dave’s Law of the Conservation of Suffering. Maybe it’s as you say that everything in Canada is subsidized. Even suffering.

Okay fine. The disease is an invitation I suppose, and we don't have to accept it, but it is there. That's why it's that specific one and not another. Mitch and his vibe caused a lot of grief. You couldn't have taught my friend to spare herself the clinic then to make them disappear with prayer. I couldn't tell her anything so we broke up a couple of years back too. And you are far more woo than me. Men are, in general I think. It's probably the focus you have to never find anything in the fridge being put to good use.

I’ve been avoiding doing this thing called block therapy that I know works. I don’t know if it works for feet but it did do something spectacular for me a couple of months ago with a very strong back spasm (I don’t usually have any back trouble but there was this spasm and since I’m pretty committed to never going to doctors I was like shit I’ll try anything) so I’ve been kind of clearing the decks for a week to get to it, but still I was farting around tonight looking at Substack instead of ramming a hard block of wood into my calves and holding fingers between my toes for three minutes while doing proper diaphragmatic breathing without total faith. That’s how I bumped into you after earlier starting to write a message to you and then deleting it. And after I left you just now it’s a one in five chance that a block therapy video would show in my feed trough and one in a hundred that it would be feet. And there it was. So like one in five-hundred. But like some prophet of old who gets grumpy at divine intervention I was like, okay, fine, I’ll do my feet and I did. I know that I could do this all purely with mind, that I have that power, and I only “can’t” because I tell a story of how it works in general but not for me. So that’s where talismans come in: blocks. So each block is a thing in sciencey world and a talisman in energy world. I never said that to anyone before. It’s been a good night for the word talisman. Alright Tilly. I’m usually falling asleep when I’m writing to you.
