Question
I've heard when a person gets a virus,
the body "cleanses itself".
What does that mean?

Answer
Thank You Linda for posing a question that (IMO) is truly worthy of enormous consideration!

When speaking of the function of a virus in the way that the body "cleanses itself" it means the body neutralizes and/or eliminates wastes and especially the toxins that are either coming into it (in large part from all the environmental conditions that we are exposed to in our modern day lifestyles) or that are created within the body from "stress" and in other ways.

"Environmental" in large part includes the food we eat. If food comes from conventional agriculture then most likely it has petro-chemical substances. Sodas, although not really food, contain chemicals. Ideally anything put onto the body would be food or food-like however, most toiletry and so called "skin-care" products that people put on their skin and hair contain chemicals that the body does not recognize as food. All of these are toxins that the body then needs to "cleanse itself" of (just like all the other waste products) only in this instance many of these toxins require biological helpers that the body manufactures to deal with these foreign, synthetic waste products.

The "virus" that is most attributed to this extraordinary cleansing process is commonly called the "flu virus". Aajonus Vonderplanitz describes what the flu virus is as well as it's cleansing function in a most informative interview: "The Swine Flu Vaccination Hoax - Explained":

He says: "A flu is a solvent detoxification. (Whereas) A cold is normally a bacterial detoxification where microbes eat damaged tissue that is of a waste product and when they consume that tissue they can consume about fifty times their weight in twenty-four hours and have a waste product of one to five percent. That is a good janitor! Flues occur when people are so toxic that bacteria can not break down the toxic waste products because there's inorganic substances like chemicals from pesticides, inorganic fertilizers, food additives, pepsicola ..."

The main point is that the need for all of us to see the true purpose of the virus in a new light beyond that of the standard medical paradigm's germ theory launched by Louis Pasteur:

"The Dream %26 Lie of Louis Pasteur"

The conventional wisdom speaks in terms of "catching" things (colds, flues, viruses and other "bugs"). Conventional wisdom also views "bugs" as pests and it support a war strategy of killing these bugs using real poisonous substances. Then when this attack strategy is applied to the human body there's an inherent risk with the poisonous substances that the good, essential, life-giving bacteria will be wiped out! On his death bed Pasteur is attributed to refuting his theory and essentially saying the microbe is not the enemy but rather the terrain is everything. This means we need to focus more on building up inner terrain as the basis for our health and a great part of that terrain is in the gut and the good news is that we have choice over what goes into our gut! Therefore we can determine the condition of our own terrain and have faith in it's intelligence. There is a saying "trust your gut". There is a lot to that!

From a new medicine perspective the "flu" can be viewed as a healing phase and in particular part of the category of cold diseases. This indicates that the flu virus is simply another "biological program" that is manufactured by the body's own innate intelligence. The body can create this after it has initially resolved a previous shock conflict experience. Either way we look at this the virus is manufactured within the body and not "caught". Knowing that can eliminate the fear of "catching something"! The more fear-less we become the less vulnerable we are to propaganda that is manufactured by certain vested interests. The only way that a virus  can enter the body is via vaccination. For that (and for a number of other reasons) we are seeing more and more reports, articles and warnings against getting flu vaccinations. Although your question was not focused on vaccinations, if anyone is interested - the Internet has these articles and they include insider reports that the mainstream media (for the most part) will not pick up as it is in conflict with the corporations that own and/or support.  However, there was a three-month investigation done by one major network on the swine flu and it revealed that the pandemic declaration was manufactured fear-based hype and hysteria with an agenda of promoting vaccinations.

I hope this information can begin to inspire you to look further into the truth of viruses, the biological purpose they serve (when created by the body) and especially the importance for the body to be allowed to cleanse itself.

Be Very Well!

P.S. For those who would like to dive in deeper to the investigative reporting on the "propaganda that is manufactured by certain vested interests" they may want to consider publications such as:
