The difference between well people and sick people is not the presence or absence of pathogens, but the condition of the immune system, which bears on two factors: nutrition and attitude.
I read about a study several years ago in which a group of children were tested and interviewed weekly for a year. Blood samples and swab cultures showed no difference in the level of pathogens between the sick kids and the healthy ones, but the interviews showed the sick kids had something emotionally upsetting going on at home, i.e. fighting parents, moving, job changes, etc., while the well children were more calm.
