Is Modern Medicine Based On Faulty Theories?
http://preventdisease.com/news/articles/120707_faulty_thoery.shtml

Modern medicine is firmly founded on the "Germ Theory of Disease"
promulgated by Louis Pasteur in the 1860's. Pasteur's 140-year-old theory is
still the medical paradigm upon which Western medicine fights disease as we
enter the 21st century.

But with a huge increase today in infectious diseases and the rapidly rising
epidemic of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses; we
have to wonder if Pasteur's theory is really that sound.

After all, thousands of people die around the world every single week from
properly prescribed medicine in properly prescribed doses. This is a serious
indictment of pharmaceutical medicine which is inextricably based on Pasteur's
germ theory.

According to Pasteur:

· Germs, or microbes, cause disease
· Germs invade the body from the outside, i.e., air, water, or food
· Human blood is sterile and can only be infected by outside microbes
· Germs are monomorphic, i.e., they have only one form and can be identified
by species
· Specific diseases are caused by specific germs
· Germs should be killed by pharmaceutical drugs

In the 1870s Pasteur's germ theory was developed further by William Koch, a
contemporary and rival of Pasteur, whose proofs of the germ theory are still
known today as "Koch's Postulates". See Koch's Postulates at
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch's_postulates)

Basically, Koch's contribution to the germ theory was to prove that a
specific type of germ caused a specific disease, that the germ would be
found in all people suffering from that particular disease but not healthy
people, and that every person exposed to these germs would fall ill with
disease.

However, Koch had to abandon part of his first postulate when he discovered
that healthy people could carry the germs of certain diseases and yet show
no symptoms. He also had to revise his third postulate when it was shown
that some people could be exposed to virulent germs yet not catch the
disease.

The "proofs" of the new Germ Theory were already showing flaws.

Still, despite being highly controversial in the late 1800s, the Germ Theory
was quickly adopted by the medical powers of the day. This new theory about
germs invading from outside the body empowered the medical and
pharmaceutical industry as guardians of human and animal health. People
became dependent on the fledgling medical/drugs industry for information and
protection from disease. Thus, Modern Medicine was born.

A number of eminent scientists opposed Pasteur and The Germ Theory, most
notably the highly respected Professor Antoine Béchamp. Béchamp was a
reserved, modest man and a much more distinguished scientist than the
self-promoting chemist, Louis Pasteur. (It is believed today that Pasteur
stole much of Béchamp's work and passed it off as his own. This prompted
R.B. Pearson to write a book in the 1940s called "Pasteur, Plagiarist,
Imposter.") See text at (http://www.whale.to/a/b/pearson.html)

Béchamp and other scientists believed in the theory of pleomorphism, that a
microbe could evolve through many forms from virus to bacterium to yeast to
fungus to mold and could even de-evolve back to a pre-virus again. Béchamp
could see this evolution and de-evolution clearly in his microscope. Big
Medicine rejected pleomorphism back then just as it will not even look at
pleomorphic phenomena filmed and documented by scientists today, such as Dr.
Robert O. Young in San Diego, California.

Another of Béchamp's contemporaries, Claude Bernard, expounded on the
pleomorphic theory and said that the inner terrain or "milieu interieur" was
the cause of disease, and not microbes. It was discovered that acidic blood
and tissue provide a terrain that is ideal for disease to develop. When the
terrain becomes acidic, microbes evolve into pathogenic forms and carry out
the work nature designed them to do - as cleaners and undertakers,
scavenging inflamed or infected tissue.

The acidity or acid/alkaline balance of the blood is measured by pH, the
potential of Hydrogen, see (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH) and is a very
important marker for good health. The blood will do all it can to keep its
pH at 7.365, or slightly alkaline. It will even strip alkaline reserves like
calcium from the bones to buffer a rise in acidity. (This can lead to a
condition labelled by modern medicine as osteoporosis.)

When the pH drops, even by .1, the increase in acidity is interpreted by the
microbes, already present in the body in their billions, as a sign of a dead
or dying body. This prompts them to morph from benign bacteria into virulent
yeast and mold so that they can reduce the body to the dust from whence it
came.

Even Pasteur eventually realized the truth of this and on his death-bed said
that "Bernard was right... the microbe is nothing; the terrain is
everything." But Big Medicine now chose to ignore him. They sensed that the
germ theory provided a gilt-edged opportunity to amass a huge fortune.

Béchamp and others in the scientific community opposed the germ theory and
advocated the theory of pleomorphism, saying:

· Acidic terrain, not germs, cause disease
· Germs are already in the body by the billions and don't necessarily have
to come from without (although that can sometimes happen)
· Blood is not sterile but can contain many microbial forms
· Germs are pleomorphic, i.e., they can change through many forms (Dr Gaston
Naessens identified a microbe undergoing 16 different stages of evolution)
· Virtually all diseases are caused by acidic terrain
· Diseases can be prevented or reversed by increasing the alkalinity of the
terrain

What led Professor Béchamp to formulate his pleomorphic theory was the
discovery of great numbers of small grainy objects in live blood samples
which he observed through his microscope. Many of his contemporaries
dismissed these tiny life forms as laboratory contamination which were of no
importance. But they intrigued Béchamp. He named them "microzymas" or
"little bodies".

He found microzymas present in every cell in the bloodstream, in animals, in
plants, and even in rocks. He found them present in the remains of dead
animals many years after the animal's body had withered away to dust. He
observed that in a healthy organism, microzymas work at repairing and
nourishing all cells; but when the terrain becomes acidic, the microzymas
morph into viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus, and mold and prepare to break
the host down.

Béchamp's work was ignored, ridiculed, suppressed, and soon forgotten. Down
through the years, some scientists discovered pleomorphic phenomena for
themselves - Enderlein, Rife, Reich, Livingston-Wheeler, Naessens, and more
recently, in the U.S., Dr. Robert O. Young (San Diego) and Dr. David Jubb
(New York). Most had no recourse to the works of earlier scientists and
thought that their discoveries were unique to them. Like Béchamp before
them, they too found their discoveries ignored or suppressed.

All of them were fascinated with the "little bodies" that Béchamp had called
"microzymas". Enderlein called them "protits", Livingston-Wheeler called
them "Progenitor cryptocides", and Naessens called them "somatids". But all
found that they couldn't destroy these "little bodies" even when subjecting
them to excessive carbonizing temperatures or high dosage radiation.

Dr. David Jubb calls them "Colloids of Life" and says that they are
indestructible. They resist "enormous heat, radiation, and chemicals and can
reside in petrochemical solution, in hot rock deep within the Earth, in
meteorites and in radioactive water inside nuclear power stations. Upon the
loss of life of its host, colloid of life return to the earth. A colloid of
life is the unknown factor between the animate and the inanimate." (Jubbs
Cell Rejuvenation, p.14.)

That last sentence has quite a resonance. Dr. Jubb is saying that colloids
of life, or microzymas, are the smallest observable life forms between
spirit and matter.

We still have a lot to learn about life, medicine, and healing but we need
to approach these things with an open, inquisitive mind.

How long will it take modern medicine to accept that germs don't cause
disease but only appear as a result of disease? Who will fund research into
the pleomorphic work begun by Béchamp, Enderlein, Rife and others? Who is
brave enough to confront Big Pharma's doctrinaire, Pasteurian approach to
drug based medicine?

When a group of people are exposed to a virus or food toxin, modern medicine
examines only those who get sick. What they should do is examine those who
didn't get sick. One would no doubt find that the sick people had acidic
blood and tissue while those who didn't succumb to the virus/toxin were
alkaline. Therein lies the key to health.

Disease cannot take hold in an alkaline body. An alkalising diet and way of
living can prevent and reverse disease. But don't expect this to be endorsed
by orthodox medicine - there's no profit in it.
