Gary “Are you familiar with Farr’s law with respect to new contagious diseases?”

Yes, I’d done a report on it at my former site- which had nothing to do with Wikipedia but a snippet from their below

A nutshell from wikipedia

“Farr’s law is a law formulated by Dr. William Farr when he made the observation that epidemic events rise and fall in a roughly symmetrical pattern. The time-evolution behavior could be captured by a single mathematical formula that could be approximated by a bell-shaped curve.[1] ”

“I prefer Albrecht’s statement that it’s not the overpowering invader that we must fear but the weakened condition of the victim.”

Yes, Bechampe held that same view
Antoine Béchamp
I’m reading a book about him at this time- I took a break from it to read Robert Kennedy’s book- but am done and have gone back to it- It’s not an easy read, but it’s been interesting

Hi Penny:
My brother was born a year and nine months after I was born. He got polio when he was two years old. Thus I was so young when he got it, I would have had no idea why he got it and I didn’t. Polio is said to be very contagious. As with all so-called contagious diseases, I prefer Albrecht’s statement that it’s not the overpowering invader that we must fear but the weakened condition of the victim.
Are you familiar with Farr’s law with respect to new contagious diseases?

Hi Gary

Do you have any idea why your brother got polio and you didn’t?
Are you suggesting a genetic influence? Or possibly a general state of health difference?
Curious?
