 I would not dispute the fact that viruses are contagious and have been demonstrated to be so with pandemics, but I feel we are missing the point here.

Firstly: any virus cannot take hold or have any effect within the body, if it is free from toxemia, and which provides the conditions for it to exist and thrive. So a toxemic-free body will not allow ANY pathogens to develop or subsist.......even with a weakened immune system.

And again I disagree. You are right that SOME viruses cannot take hold without a suppression of the immune system. But there are some viruses that can simply wipe out the immune system such as human herpes virus type 6 variant A, which destroys CD4, T-killer and B cells. So it can suppress the immune system.

After 8 to 10 days of water-only fasting, the entire digestive tract becomes sterile,

If it was sterile then we would be in big trouble since the good bacteria in our intestines produce 80% of the body's serotonin, is responsible for the vast majority of the body's immune system, produce B vitamins and vitamin K for the body, etc. Therefore according to your own statement a water fast would be very detrimental to the body.

and where further fasting of up to 30 to 40 days will free the body of its toxic load entirely; as a consequence, viruses and other potential carcinogenic agencies/pathogens can no longer reside within the body because they have been eliminated, or expired in a metabolic environment that does not support them.

First of all according to your statement above the water fast would "sterilize" the intestines, which as I pointed out would lead to severe immune suppression. Furthermore there are a lot of other factors involved in immunity that are not affected by "toxins". For example we need vitamin C to maintain the adrenals, thymus and to activate white blood cells. If you are doing a water fast then you are not getting the vitamin C to support the immune system, and again would lead to immune suppression. Stress also affects immunity through cortisol release, which atrophies the thymus gland. But again this has NOTHING to do with toxins in the body.

Luckily the body is designed to maintain its immunity and to suppress pathogens through a number of mechanisms, which is why despite the overwhelming presence of pathogens we do not see more widespread disease. But immunity is still a LOT more complicated than simply "detoxing".
