Hi Kaviraj
Yes I know anything to stirr up the pot!I am on it..............
I saw your blogpost on this same subject. I think its important to open this big Fat CAN OF WORMS. Many MD's including homeopaths do not fully realize the theory behind Pasteur and how this has manifested into the allopathic Bible "theory of germs" used by western medicine. ThusThe reasons for prescribing prescription drugs such as useless: antibiotics,anti inflam,anti histam,anti itch......etc.
True Homeopathic principles DO not bow down to Pasteurs Theory of Germs. Homeopathy is ENERGY medicine in it's purest form,Its that Black and white.
The discussion at HWC on "long distance hair transmission using homeopathics" opened this door. Many still refute energy can be moved ,Many still think Homeopathics is Matter and must be used in its physical form (Hahnemann did not) If homeopathy does NOT fall under Matter-This Germ theory is also a big wake up call and will also fail(and has proven to fail already).

The Germ Theory

Everyone has heard of Louis Pasteur. He is considered the father of the Germ Theory of Medicine and he invented the process of pasteurization. Despite the simple fact that the Germ Theory of Medicine was at least a hundred years older than Pasteur, his experiments that supposedly "proved" this theory have established him as a cornerstone in Modern Medical History.

Too bad much of his work was plagiarized and totally unscientific.

What most of us don’t know about Pasteur is that throughout his career, he too often doubted his assumptions. On his death bed, he even recanted saying the Germ Theory was all wrong: "It’s the terrain, not the germ."

But did we hear his last words? No.

Was he speaking of the immune system? If we have a strong immune system, the germ doesn’t matter, does it?

Wrong, he was not speaking of the immune system. As Dr Young points out in Sick and Tired, the immune system’s function of fighting off germs is its secondary job. If you’re immune system is battling off bugs, you’re driving on a "spare tire," according to the good doctor.

The Terrain

What exactly is a healthy terrain?

Dr Young’s book introduced me to Antoine Béchamp. I looked him up on the web and read one of his books published there. Amazing stuff. You won’t find Béchamp’s name in the history of medicine. He and his work have been expurgated. When he died, his accomplishments were listed in a journal. They took up seven pages. Some of the things we attribute to Pasteur were actually accomplished by Béchamp.

Even though Béchamp was a scientist, his work is very easy to read. Scientists hadn’t yet developed their Latin/Greek lingo that would keep the average person on the sidelines looking in.

The first thing I read by him was a study on cats. One group was fed cooked foods and the other was fed raw foods. The raw foods group were much healthier than the group fed cooked foods. By the third generation, the young of the cooked foods group (also getting cooked foods) did not survive into adulthood.

Is there any wonder why the Cancer Diet is 70% live foods?

Now Béchamp was a critic of Pasteur’s. Pasteur hated Béchamp, mainly because Béchamp was constantly finding fault in Pasteur’s work. For instance, Pasteur’s experiments that "proved" his germ theory were less than scientific, according to Béchamp . Pasteur had injected healthy animals with the blood of a sick animal. The healthy animals got sick. [Pearson, RB. The Dream and Lie of Louis Pasteur, Collingwood, Australia; Sumeria Press, 1994 (This book is online; click to find it and read it.)]

First off do I need to point out that we do not catch germs in this fashion? I mean, if I had to get an injection to catch a cold, I’d never catch one.

Secondly, there are too many variables in a syringe full of a sick animal’s blood to "prove" that the germs in the blood are making the experimental animal sick. Béchamp made the obvious observation that Pasteur was poisoning the blood of the experimental animal.

Claude Bernard was also a contemporary of Pasteur’s. On Pasteur’s deathbed, he admitted that Bernard was right and that he, Pasteur, was wrong (though he never mentioned his nemesis Béchamp).

Bernard is considered the Father of Experimental medicine today. He was a physiologist. However, his greatest achievements are entirely overlooked today. Let me give you one example of this man’s assertions.

Amidst a group of physicians and scientists, Claude Bernard made the statement: "The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing," and then drank down a glass of water filled with cholera.

There are not many scientists who are willing to risk their lives on a theory. This we know. Claude Bernard has few equals in the history of medicine.

Germs Do Not Cause Disease

The most telling "concept" that has ever crossed my desk is the quotation Dr Young uses right at the beginning of his book, Sick and Tired:

If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat—diseased tissue—rather than being the cause of the diseased tissue; e.g., mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant. Rudolph Virchow (Father of Pathology)

Do you understand the importance of this? When I read this quotation for the first time, it hit me like a brick. I’ve always known the terrain was the key, but I had always thought of the terrain as the immune system. I had had no idea that the proper terrain alone was, by itself, enough for perfect health. Nor had it ever occurred to me that the immune system was merely a backup system that took over when the terrain failed.

So, Béchamp was, in effect, telling Pasteur that his experiments proved nothing because it poisoned the experimental animal’s terrain, hence allowing the germs to attack the diseased tissues caused by the poisoning.

Before we go any further, we need to know this…

Take a banana and place it on a counter next to a piece of cheese. Place a glass over the cheese so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Now watch them both over the over the next few days. What do you think will happen? The banana starts to turn black and the cheese begins to mold. They go bad. They rot.

Now slice open the cheese. Inside, no mold. Slice open the banana. It's rotten inside. Smell the banana and you'll smell a hint of alcohol. It's fermenting.

Something that perhaps only a few of you already knew is: The cheese molds from the outside in, but the banana rots from the inside out.

The banana was alive. The cheese is not alive.

Every living thing comes equipped with it’s own janitorial service that goes to work when it dies. They are programmed to clean up the mess our dead bodies leave behind.

This is a VERY important concept for us to know and remember, always.

Healthy Terrain

So what is healthy terrain? Béchamp began to describe it nearly two hundred years ago, but Claude Bernard finally put it this way. It consists of two internal factors:

1. Alkalinity

2. Negative Electrical Charge

Contributing to a healthy terrain are two factors, according to Bernard:

1. Nutrition

2. Toxins

One must have proper nutrition and be free of toxins to maintain a healthy terrain. More recent studies add one more factor contributing to a healthy terrain: Emotions/Mental Health.

In our last newsletter we touched upon psychoneuroimmunology with a small test that you can take on your own (Click Here to see it). The higher the score, the greater your chances of getting sick. Why? Well, the higher the score, the greater your acidity/the less your alkalinity. There is an emotional side to our terrain. You can do everything the books tell you to keep your body alkaline, but if you have unchecked emotional issues, you will still be acidic. This is the body/mind connection, or as someone put it: emotional toxicity.

We live in a toxic society. Our food, water, air is poisoned. Additionally, we are poisoning ourselves with drugs, alcohol, smoke, and even the way we cook our foods (barbecuing, microwaving).

Nearly every drug your doctor gives you causes your body to become acidic. Every can of pop, every cup of coffee, every teaspoon of sugar, every piece of chicken, steak, or fish you consume causes your body to become acidic.

The Clean-Up Crew Within

Béchamp theorized that there was a particle of life in us, the smallest living thing on the planet, called a microzyma. It is a plant. Scientists previous to Béchamp had seen these little "molecular granulations" but had no idea what they were. Gaston Naessens discovered somatids. Are they the same thing? I think so. Many think so. The newer powerful dark field microscopes allow doctors and scientists to view living tissues.

The microzymas are part of the clean-up crew that lives within all of us.

Now, one place where modern medicine is completely off track is in our standard blood tests. They take blood, stain it, freeze it, and examine it.

Blood is alive. It is not a liquid, but a mobile tissue (Béchamp was the first to describe blood thus). The things in our blood are alive. And one thing modern medicine does not accept is that something like a bacterium can change into a yeast that can turn into a fungus that can turn into a mold. We’ve talked about this in previous newsletters; it is called pleomorphism. Pleo meaning many and morph meaning form or body.

Gaston Naessens has thoroughly documented the life cycle of his somatids. As we published in our Cancer Edition of the Wellness Directory of Minnesota™, Naessens discovered that his somatids are nearly indestructible. They resisted blasts of radiation, temperatures up to 392 degrees, and laughed at the strongest acids. Naessens mapped the somatid's (or microzyma's) pleomorphic life cycle. Others have documented the pleomorphic changes in bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds and fungi.

Dr Young, the author of Sick and Tired has watched these tiny creatures change from one to another under a dark field microscope. He has even seen a red blood cell turn into a bacterium and then back into a red blood cell. Yet it might take 100 more years for medical science recognize this fact. You will see why shortly.

The True Definition of Disease

When does disease begin? In our culture, disease begins at the onset of symptoms. In Chinese medicine, disease begins much earlier. However, with the theories of Béchamp followed by the scientific and verifiable research of Professor Gunter Enderlein (who basically proved all the theories of Béchamp), we now have a new definition of disease.

Disease begins when our alkaline tissues turn acidic and when our negative energy charge turns positive.

This is the beginning of disease.

Perhaps we should be quoting Dr Arthur C Guyton MD who wrote the Textbook of Medical Physiology (once used in most medical schools):

The first steps in maintaining health is to alkalize the body ( pH or acid/alkaline balance). This is one of the most important aspects of homeostasis. Changes in pH alter virtually all body functions.

The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are below a pH of 7.0. The more acidic the cell, the sicker we become. If the body cannot alkalize the cells they will become acidic and thus, disease sets in. Our bodies produce acid as a by product of normal metabolism. Since our bodies do not manufacture alkalinity, we must supply the alkalinity from an outside source to keep us from becoming acidic and dying.

A Little Chemistry

Water is one oxygen molecule connected to two hydrogen molecules. If you break the water molecule apart, you have one hydrogen on one side and an oxygen and hydrogen on the other.

H+ OH-

The singular hydrogen is acidic with a positive charge. The hydroxyl (OH) is alkaline with a negative charge. Together they are neutral.

A pH of 2 is extremely acidic. A pH of 11 is very alkaline. It's just a number; don't let it confuse you. I do like to refer to pH as Potential for Hydrogen. Dunno why, it's how I learned it. But I have also learned that the more hydrogen in a solution the more acidic that solution, and the more oxygen the more alkaline.

Alkalinity means oxygen. We need oxygen to survive. We need oxygen to maintain an alkaline environment. Life is oxygen. Oxygen is life.

In the past we have mentioned that bacteria, yeast, cancer, and viruses (just to name a few) survive without oxygen. They are said to have an anaerobic (without oxygen) existence. They metabolize without oxygen, just like fermentation. Fermentation produces alcohol (as one of its waste products) and many more wastes known as mycotoxins (that further corrupt our environment).

Remember the smell of the banana?

When we become acidic, our immune systems attempt to bring us back into order and balance, or homeostasis. Our immune system is, first, a clean-up crew, and second a juggling artist on a tightrope focused only on balance.

Our immune system's first job is to clean up the dead cells we slough off. Billions are lost daily. In just seven years, our entire body has been replaced with new cells. This is the immune system's first and foremost job.

If we get out of balance, then our juggling artist on a tightrope tries to re-balance the system. This is a secondary job. However, if we are really, really sick and begin to get attacked by outside invaders, then this overworked immune system has to try to fend them off. This is our immune system’s backup job. As Dr Young points out, when this happens, we’re riding on one of those tiny spare tires found in our trunks.

Disease begins when our bodies turn acidic.

Now, it is important to note that acid means lack of oxygen and that bacteria and germs and fungus all survive without oxygen. Because I’m about to tell you something that will knock your sox off.

Remember that clean-up crew we're all born with inside? The clean-up crew that ate the banana from the inside out?

When we turn acidic (lose our oxygen and our negative charge), the clean-up crew goes to work, BECAUSE IT THINKS WE ARE DEAD.

This is where the first symptoms of illness show up, but you have to be looking for them. The Chinese use smell and taste, and the shapes of fingernails, and all sorts of things to discover what’s going on here. Westerners need live blood analysis.

We talked about candida in our last newsletter. Candida is part of the cleanup crew. As this yeast turns into a fungus, it spreads its thin mycelia throughout our bodies attacking other organs. The clean-up crew produces wastes called mycotoxins. One of the wastes is uric acid, another is alcohol, and yet another is aflatoxin, one of the most potent carcinogens known.

Our liver starts producing more cholesterol to help clean up these mycotoxins. Take Lipitor™ and all you’ll do is allow the mycotoxins to create more and more damage to organs and blood vessels.

Now you know why modern medicine has ignored years of research and scientific findings.

Drugs cannot heal a sick terrain.

Only nutrition and detoxication programs can heal our terrain.

Do we need modern medicine? You bet we do! Our bodies are so far out of alignment that all too often we need something to save our lives.

The problem is, after having our life saved, we continue on our way as if we are totally healed when all we’ve been given is a short (very short) reprieve. The body is still acidic. We are still sick.

Secondary Illness

Remember Rudolf Virchow’s quotation? Once our system is acidic, and once the clean-up crew kicks in, we start to get diseased tissues. Once we have diseased tissues, outside germs can find a favorable environment in which to grow. They produce the secondary illnesses we, in this modern culture, call illness or disease. As amazing as it can seem, germs are attracted to the diseased tissues, they are not the primary cause of it.

But what about cancer? How does cancer fit into this picture?

First off, Dr Young points to a study from the University of Minnesota Medical School that every cancer patient ever tested has been found to have candida in their blood stream. They also noted, almost as an aside, that candida wasn’t responsive to drug therapy.

I can assure you that long before a person has cancer, that person has a systemic yeast problem. It just hasn’t surfaced. The mycotoxins released by a yeast/fungal infection cause the body to become even more acidic (with even less oxygen).

Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for describing how cancer metabolizes. He said that cells once thriving on oxygen suddenly become anaerobic.

If you were a cell, and you were deprived of oxygen (by an acidic environment) how would you survive? Wouldn’t you try to change your method of metabolism to one that did not require oxygen?

Cancer could very well be our bodies trying to survive the conditions we’ve allowed them to deteriorate to. Perhaps a better way of putting this is: Cancer is the result of your cells trying to survive a condition that you won't.

Symptoms of Acidosis

Since the first step in the disease process occurs when our alkaline terrain turns acidic, it follows that acidosis is the number one disease in human beings. If so, then why don't our medical community test for it?

Again, why test for something that pharmaceuticals or surgery cannot repair?

From Dr Cochrain (mostly, but also from many others), a naturopath from St Paul, Minnesota, we learned the symptoms of the three stages of acidosis.

The symptoms of the first stage of acidosis are so common that most people simply take a pain killer or some over the counter medication to mask the symptoms: headaches, food allergies, bloating, acne, panic attacks, lack of energy, lack of sex drive, cold hands and feet, agitation, hard to sleep, hard to get up, sinus headaches, and an increased susceptibility to colds and flu and whatever's going around.

The symptoms in phase two might bring you to a doctor, but still, some just self-medicate: cold sores, hives, depression, migraines, asthma, urinary tract infections, fungal infections, yeast infections, swelling, colitis, tingling, excessive falling hair, osteoarthritis, and atherosclerosis.

If you have toenail fungus, then take note that this fungal infection goes much further than just under your toenails. It is all over your body. And no drug (diflucan) will end it, though it might clear up symptoms for a while.

The final stages of acidosis are chronic, debilitating diseases: Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, leukemia, all cancers, Hodgkin's disease, schizophrenia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and tuberculosis just to name a few.

An example :
the book Immune for Life by Arnold Fox, MD, of Los Angeles, former Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of California, Irvine:

"Many years ago, as a resident in Internal Medicine at Los Angeles County Hospital, I was in charge of the adult infectious-disease ward. For ten to fifteen hours a day, I was exposed to just about every infectious illness you can imagine. These patients had tuberculosis, meningitis, the very deadly septicemia and other dangerous diseases. They coughed and sneezed on me; I got their blood, sweat and even feces on my hands. But I didn't 'catch' any of their diseases. My 'doctor within' kept me in perfect health.

Some time later I was transferred from the infectious-disease ward and into surgery. Months later I came down with meningitis, a potentially deadly infection of the covering of the brain. I hadn't been near anyone with meningitis who could have given' me the disease. What happened was that I was working double shifts, going to every class and lecture offered, and moonlighting as well. I had run my immune system down to the ground."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I mirror this expierence in my life doing volunteerwork as a homeopath in remote clinics, I never get vaccinated Not for tropical diseases,not for the flu,I never take antibiotics,never take any allopathics.Yet am exposed to anything and everything in these remote clinics.Never get sick,never catch malaria/yellow fever/dengue fever...................nothing! Stressfull conditions,overwork/mental trauma/worry/fears-do cause illness-My point in short-Germ theory is a lie.

Hello Gina, Hello all!

Even in alopathy there is the premise that there are not sicknesses, but sick people. This necesarily takes us to understand that everyone gets sick in a different way or maybe doesn't get sick at all.
I believe things begin with resistance. Resistance implies the presence of unspecific antibacterial compounds like complemet in corporal fluids (present in every fluid except urine), specific fatty acids in the skin grease secreted by sebaceus glands, the help of natural flora on the body's outer surfaces (this includes the lumen of the bowel, because morphologically speaking, the lumen inside the bowel is really outside the body), and the strength and cohesion of the attachment between epithelial cells (this attachement through desmosomes in skin and epithelia in the digestive, respiratory, urinary or any other epithelium is made by SULPHUR links from the desmosome to the citoskeleton and your brains are right now ringing an alarm and singing a song of ecstasy).
I was taught at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico that germs are opportunists. They grow always in a debilitated tissue. It takes a very strong and agressive germ to cause sickness in a healthy body, and we still see cases where no illness is caused. Of course this includes mind, and mind also has much to say as a cause or as a symptom. In this school we are formed as Zootechnist Veterinary Physicians (Médicos in spanish) and we are taught to think in the healthiest possible environment for the animals. We are taught nutrition, genetics, ecology, management of individuals and herds and of course, economy (money makes the world go round, Karl Marx said and Lisa Minelly sung it beatifully).
A very interesting book that I would recomend is a quite commercial but logical one by Barry Sears, "The zone diet". It doesn´t satanize anything but it has very interesting examples on how a reasonable feeding can help a patient enormously.
We have to remember that Jesus described the signs that would accompany those who believed (yes I'm a Christian, but the important thing is the state of the mind, not any religion), and
I believe it applies to germs besides poisons and snakes.
A healthy body will resist (remeber Rasputin resisted a dose of cyanide sufficient to kill an ox? That was a strong character, not a very nice one but strong).
To finish the particiption, a body with a low pH means that CO2 is not being eliminated and when reacting with the body fluid will produce carbonic acid CO2+H2O=H2CO3. Then Hydrogen is released by ionization so we get a higher concentration . The negative logarythm of this concentratin is the pH. Isn't it simple? Acidosis is a sign of the lack of energy producing potential in the body, and if we reason it through the Mythocondria we are going to get into a very interesitng discussion, but that will take us into biochemistry and I don't want to get lost now. The point:
Dr. Demetrio Sodi Pallares, the great Mexican Cardiologist used to cure cardiac patients stabilizing their electrolytic balance (specifically he worked on sodium-potasium concentrations), and later on he went into Magnetic Field therapy (Extremely low frequency pulsing magnetic fields). He used to say in his conferences: "If a cell lacks energy, its membrane electrical potenital will fall. To correct this, we have to create the conditions for this cell to recover its ATP producing capabilities. If this cell recovers its ATP production, its cell membrane will be able to use the spare energy to heal and to raise its membrane's electrical potential (remember the sodium pump which pumps it outside the cell at th expense of ATP).Then the cell will be cured. It is as if I have no money, I cannot spend in my health or in prevention, I have to cope with whatever comes and insuffieciently, but if I have money I can prevent it and be prepared, and If I have enough spare money I can buy a yacht (and believe me bought one)"
Now this creation of conditions for a cell to be healthy is the real spirit of alopathy, not he suppresion of signs and symptoms.
Greetings from Mexico.

My reply: Yes It is that simple,agreed. Just to Add Let me make it clear what a low PH is for those that do not understand. The PH scale goes from 5.0---------------to--------------------9.0 on the lower end we have an Acid state (not good),on the midway point 7.0+7.5 we have balanced ph (this is what a practicioner needs to look for).
