Whereas most Americans probably have heard of Louis Pasteur (1822–1895), it is doubtful that many are familiar with the name and work of Antoine Béchamp (1816–1908). The two nineteenth-century researchers were scientific contemporaries, compatriots and fellow members of the French Academy of Science, but key differences in their views on biology and disease pathology led to a prolonged rivalry both within and outside of the Academy.1
Béchamp was the more brilliant thinker, but Pasteur had political connections, including Emperor Napoleon III. Reportedly not above “plagiarising and distorting Béchamp’s research,”2 Pasteur achieved fame and fortune largely because his views “were in tune with the science and the politics of his day.”1 Meanwhile, mainstream medical historians relegated Béchamp’s ideas—not as attractive to conventional thinkers—to the intellectual dustbin.3
Pasteur’s promotion of germ theory (a flawed notion that he did not so much “discover” as repackage) has remained “dear to pharmaceutical company executives’ hearts” up to the present day,4 having laid the groundwork for “synthetic drugs, chemotherapy, radiation, surgical removal of body parts and vaccines” to become the “medicine[s] of choice.”5 The unshakeable belief that there is one microbe for every illness is so ingrained as the “controlling medical idea for the Western world” that competing ideas about disease causation still have difficulty gaining traction.6
Over a century after the two Frenchmen’s demise, why bother to revisit their place in history? The answer is that the scientific (and industry) bias in favor of Pasteur’s model has not served the public’s health—to the contrary. Two decades into the twenty-first century, dismal national and international health statistics utterly belie the hype about medical advances.7 In the U.S., for example, over half of all children have one or more chronic conditions,8 as does a comparable proportion of millennials9 and up to 62 percent of Medicaid-population adults.10 Most health care dollars spent in the U.S. (86 percent) are for patients with at least one chronic condition.10 Similar trends are on the rise around the world.11
For those who are able to steel themselves against medical propaganda, it is abundantly clear that the Pasteurian paradigm has failed to deliver. With Americans in such a shocking state of ill health,12 we cannot afford to let the profit-driven pharmaceutical perspective continue to dominate. As one writer more bluntly puts it, “The sooner we get over the legacy of Pasteur’s fake science and get back to reality the better.”13
CELEBRITY VS. HERETIC
History awarded renown to the reductionist Pasteur for being the “father of immunology”14 and popularizing the theory that disease involves “a simple interaction between specific microorganisms and a host.”15 In his singleminded focus on the germ side of the equation, Pasteur ignored the host and discounted the influence of environmental factors, thereby “conveniently dismissing social responsibility for disease.”15
Both at the time and thereafter, the public and most fellow scientists found germ theory easy to embrace, perceiving Pasteur’s model of life and health to be not only “superficially plausible” but also “financially exploitable.”3 In fact, most of the big-name pharmaceutical companies that we know today got their start in Pasteur’s era, often by merging with chemical firms, united in their goal of developing and selling synthetic products to “selectively kill or immobilize parasites, bacteria, and other invasive disease-causing microbes.”16 Quoting comments by Ethel Douglas Hume in 1923,17 one author has remarked that Pasteur’s “greatest claim to fame ought to have been the inauguration of the ‘calamitous prostitution of science and medicine to commercialism.’”3
Béchamp, according to his fans, held a rather “marvelous view of the life process”3 and espoused a more nuanced perspective on infectious and chronic illness—for which history branded him a heretic. Much of Béchamp’s work centered on the biological role of fermentation.18 He coined the term “microzymas” (from zyme, the ancient Greek word for a ferment)19 to describe tiny particles that he viewed as the “primary anatomical elements of all living beings”—“the beginning and end of all organization.”20 Béchamp viewed these particles as living entities precisely because of their “power of movement and production of fermentation.”20 Subsequent generations of open-minded researchers agreed with Béchamp’s pioneering observations about microparticles as the fundamental unit of biology, with the most recent research in this vein proposing a new genetic theory and a “universal life paradigm” involving spontaneous self-assembly of DNA.21
Béchamp’s various discoveries led him to conclude that our bodies are, in effect, “miniecosystems.” When an individual’s internal ecosystem becomes weakened—whether due to poor nutrition, toxicity or other factors—it changes the function of the microbes that are naturally present in the body, producing disease.20 In other words, microorganisms only become pathogenic after environmental factors cause the host’s cellular “terrain” to deteriorate.15
As one example of the powerful influence of weakening forces on the host’s ecosystem, a mid-1980s study looked at French children who experienced complications of wild-type varicella (chickenpox).22 (Note: France has never implemented varicella vaccination.) Although three deaths resulted from what is ordinarily an extremely benign childhood illness, all three fatalities took place within a subset of nine children who had been taking steroid medications on a long-term basis. In comparison, ninety-four previously healthy children recovered from varicella without incident. The researchers concluded that the deaths occurred “as a function of the [weakened] terrain.”
PROBLEMS OF OUR OWN MAKING
Many of the disease phenomena making news headlines these days underscore the deficiencies of the pharmaceutical model and reveal challenges that are the direct result of our take-no-prisoners assault on germs.
For example, dangerous superbugs23,24 are emerging—largely due to overuse of “anti-everything” drugs such as antibiotics and antifungals—and are ushering in a potential return “to a world in which infectious diseases drastically shorten lives.”25 Some have estimated that drug-resistant pathogens will become a bigger killer than cancer by 2050.25
Although the conventional pharmacopeia that created the superbug problem has thus far been helpless to address it, experts are unwilling to step out of the lucrative Pasteurian mindset. Thus, leading researchers at Harvard, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital suggest that the solution to superbugs is. . .more antibiotics, plus vaccines!25 In proposing vaccines as a response, the trio of establishment researchers makes the argument that vaccines are “evolution-proof” and do not generate resistance.25 The GSK researcher also confidently asserts that vaccination is “the most effective medical intervention that has ever been introduced”—and gives Pasteur considerable credit.26
INCONVENIENT FACTS
The complacent attitude that vaccines are the answer for everything sidesteps many inconvenient facts—documented by numerous studies—showing that vaccines are far from predictable or beneficial. In fact, in refutation of the static perspective promoted by Pasteur and evoked by the authors who want to use super-vaccines to solve superbug problems, vaccines not only increasingly fail to protect recipients against the microbes they target but are promoting increased susceptibility to vaccine strains as well as other strains and pathogens, while also augmenting disease severity.27
For example:
• Children who receive pertussis-containing vaccines are more susceptible to pertussis “throughout their lifetimes”;28 five years after completing a pertussis vaccine series, a child will be up to fifteen times more likely to acquire pertussis than in the first year after receiving the vaccine series.29
• Flu shots make people more susceptible to other severe respiratory viruses,30 and people who get flu shots annually are more susceptible to non-vaccine strains of influenza.31
• In clinical trials of Merck’s human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil, women with evidence of current or prior exposure to HPV had a 44 percent increased risk of developing cervical lesions or cancer after receiving the vaccine.32
• Waning vaccine-based immunity has increased measles33 and mumps34 severity in the most vulnerable age groups.
Béchamp surely would have had some comments about these significant breakdowns in vaccination’s underlying assumptions. In addition, he likely would have been disturbed by the vaccine industry’s little-discussed reliance on DNA from species such as birds, dogs, monkeys, cows, pigs, mice and insects in vaccine manufacturing.35 Noting Béchamp’s belief that “an organism’s microzymas are unique to it, and are not interchangeable with those of another,” a modern author suggests that Béchamp would disapprove of introducing microzymas “proper to one species. . .into an animal of another species”—which is exactly what vaccines do.3 This author continues:
How. . .foolhardy is it then, when vaccinal microzymas are not only from another species, but are already morbidly evolved and are accompanied by preservatives, formaldehyde, and other chemicals? There is no sanity whatever to this practice. The best that can be said about it is that it may prevent, against the odds, the appearance of varying sets of symptoms. But this is at the price of weakening the immune system, toxifying the body, and possibly setting the stage for degenerative symptoms later in life—all the while doing absolutely nothing for, except perhaps worsening, the underlying disease condition.
The picture of weakening and degeneration painted in the previous quote is in fact precisely what is now occurring on a massive scale. In his 2018 book Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness, Dr. Thomas Cowan (founding Weston A. Price Foundation board member) describes how “immune system imbalance disorders” are debilitating both children and adults in record numbers “unheard of before the introduction of mass vaccination programs.”36 Explaining why the (Pasteur-influenced) model of vaccine-induced immunity is so flawed, Cowan notes that vaccines deliberately favor and provoke one type of immune response (antibodies) but short-circuit the other crucial prong of our immune system (cell-mediated activity). In short, vaccines generate a state of “excessive antibody production”—and “this excessive antibody production actually defines autoimmune disease” [emphasis in original].36
GUT HEALTH
The worrisome iatrogenic challenges posed by superbugs and vaccine failure are bad enough. However, the Pasteur-influenced medical model also must accept a share of blame for the widespread disruption of the human microbiome that is such a standout feature of the modern ill-health picture.37 Awareness of the intestinal microbiome’s critical importance in providing “resilience against external perturbation” 38 has increased in recent years, in tandem with awareness of the factors exerting an adverse influence on gut health. The latter include antibiotics, of course, but also toxins such as glyphosate, which alters the gastrointestinal microbiome in favor of pathogenic microbes.39 Diminished microorganism diversity in the gut has been associated with conditions as varied as “allergy, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases and. . .neuropsychiatric disorders.”40
Researchers who study the microbiome point out that under optimal circumstances, exposure to microorganisms educates the immune system “from the moment we are born”—and that “correct microbial-based education of immune cells may be critical in preventing the development of autoimmune diseases and cancer.”40 Reflecting this knowledge, Cowan devotes an entire chapter in his autoimmunity book to gut ecology (“the preserver of our integrity”) and to the ways in which this form of “early education” can go awry even from birth.36
Factors that compromise microbiome diversity, probably synergistically, include C-sections (which prevent babies from picking up healthy microbes in the birth canal); vaginal birth to mothers whose own internal ecology is skewed by prior antibiotic use or other factors; the standard American diet, full of genetically modified (GM) ingredients and antibiotics and lacking in live cultured and fermented foods; ubiquitous glyphosate; and, finally, vaccination. Regarding the latter, Cowan states:
[I]t has been shown that vaccination does have a direct effect on the microbiome and gut permeability even when given intramuscularly, not orally. The precise mechanism of how this happens is unknown, but I believe that anytime you affect the balance of immune response, you affect the largest and most important organ system of immune response that we have—the gut.
PARADIGM LOST
If the medical community were honest, it would be forced to admit that the model of disease that catapulted Pasteur to fame has played itself out and is pushing us to disability and death.
Here and there, scientists working within the mainstream framework recognize this. For example, researchers tackling the problem of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) acknowledge that a wide variety of factors increases host susceptibility to TB and TB mortality, including “immune-dysregulation from any cause (including stress, poor living conditions, socioeconomic factors, micronutrient deficiencies, HIV), malnutrition, aberrant or excess host inflammatory response to infection, alcohol and substance abuse, co-morbidities with noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, smoking, and chronic obstructive airways disease, [and] pneumoconiosis.”41 They suggest, therefore, that it is time to build on “the historical Pasteur-Bechamp debates on the role of the ‘microbe’ vs the ‘host internal milieu’ in disease causation” and invest in “host-directed therapies” (HDTs) that “alter the ‘host terrain’ in favor of the host.” Unfortunately, what HDTs mean to this group of researchers is. . .more pharmaceutical interventions.41
Realistically, we cannot expect researchers who receive direct or indirect funding from the pharmaceutical industry to suggest commonsense steps for supporting or strengthening the immune system. If Béchamp were around today, chances are that his recommendations would be more sound, emphasizing basics such as high-quality nutrition and excellent sleep. At a deeper level, Cowan also reminds us that the quest for a life of “abundance, joy, and meaning” is equally important and sustaining to our health.
SIDEBAR
GETTING OUT OF THE WAY
“Our job as parents, doctors, and caretakers for children is mostly to observe and, only when needed, help guide a process to its healthy conclusion. But mostly we don’t. We intervene. We manage. We attempt to control. Doing something, anything, temporarily assuages our fears (and creates massive industries in the process).
The result, however, is. . .a medicalized society that must devote huge resources to dealing with sick people; as the amount of medicine in our world increases, so, too, does the amount of sickness. Beyond a certain basic level of care, use of more medicine not only undermines an individual’s freedom and autonomy, but also degrades a society’s health.”

Wow! Fascinating article. Thanks.
What does this mean for washing our hands? With soap?
Cleansing is needed as we shed dead skin cells. I easily create a simple hand soap with castile soap and water in a bottle that creates foam (otherwise it would be very watery). You can add essential oils of your choice. It is very simple and inexpensive and prevents adding chemicals to the skin that may overtax our immune system.
I do not mean to be picky, but Bechamp’s theory was the Microzymian Theory. The terrain theory belonged to Claude Bernard.
My research has led me to that same conclusion. It is my hope that true research and common sense change our corrupt medical, as well as political system (as they are unnecessarily intertwined) before it’s too late.
With all this Coronavirus stuff going on, I have no personal worry about getting sick mainly because the cornerstone of my health for 8+ years has been quality whole food nutrition following terrain theory. But if I tell someone that I’m not worried about going out for whatever reason, I get blasted with “It’s not about you, it’s about those with compromised immune systems (I started my health journey due to a compromised immune system) & you could be a carrier & get others sick.” Of course then I’m labeled as a jerk, the same as when I talk about being anti-vaccine. So what does terrain theory say about being a “carrier”? Does anyone know what the Coronavirus test tests for? My hunch is the idea of being a carrier is nonsense & the test, if even testing for the right thing, is at best saying you’ve been exposed to the virus (that is if the whole virus “spreading” theory is true)… as in you have some sort of marker for the virus in your system… but does not automatically make you a carrier potentially spreading disease. For one, healthcare workers & grocery store employees seem to be doing ok at least where I live… But we got the statewide order to stay home as of today.
CV tests for certain antibodies . There are multiple issues that a person may have going on where these antibodies may be present. False positives are in the order of 80+%
Great article and I’m planning on doing more research on the topic. It took me years inside the medical field to realize the truth. The western / allopathic medical system is ran by big pharma / big money and a utter failure. The FDA, CDC, and WHO are domestic and global terrorist organizations.
I just read an old deposition of Raymond Royal Rife from 1961. He said virus are released from bacteria just like a chicken lays an egg and he was able to isolate them. Does anyone have any idea of what he ment by this. It appears they maliciously went after him because he was going to put all the Doctors out of business. You could have trained technicians and staff operating his equipment in small like Clinics like Harry Hoxey and other did. No more massive hospitals with $million in equipment. He was not a licensed Doctor, nor was John Crame who the State of California was going after. I often say the licensures have done more to harm the free markets almost more than any other thing in American history, other than the Federal Reserve Banking System. It gave a cartel to both doctors and lawyers and has created a professional class afraid to buck the system for fear of losing their licenses. Now we have a bunch of drug and vaccine pushers afraid to buck the large Pharmaceutical and chemical companies and their cronies in the deep state. It is amazing how easy it is to persuade people into adopting social policies that give benefits to offer and yet take away their freedom of choice. Wouldn’t these cartels break the anti-trust laws? The AMA and the BAR are cartels as is the Federal Reserve. Go figure, we gave a bunch of the wealthiest banking families a cartel and then we wonder why they simply bail out these wealthy institutions they own the stock of.
Everyone must read this deposition from the lawsuit against John March, Lallas Bateson, and John Crane by the State of California.

Very well said, I’m following the same principles as you
Seems to me, lots of “good” ideas are discarded, for whatever reasons. We look for solutions to problem P in X, when in reality, X doesn’t contain any solutions, Y does. But God-forbid anyone acknowledge they were wrong, and back-track.
I used to care. Today, not so much. Life, well, people, have beaten it out of me. As a species, we did this shit to ourselves, and we deserve, exactly what we have.
Peace.
I feel like I’m being held hostage by ignorant, hand-sanitzing, soda-downing, junk-food eating mobs. I haven’t even had a cold since dropping sugar and processed food. I know the power of my immune system.
Soooo true! God forbid you actually support your immune system w a healthy lifestyle.
Reading this while everyone is freaking out about Covid-19. I strongly believe this whole “pandemic” is most likely a scam to spread fear in people and make them seek protection aka vaccines, drugs .. etc.
I did not get sick for the past 18 months (not a single time!) because I eat a healthy and nutrient-dense diet. It is ironic that I regained my health back ONLY when I started eating exclusively the foods that all experts will tell you not to eat. I eat foods that are high in cholesterol and saturated fat. I also consume red meat daily!
I successfully unplugged myself from the mainstream matrix.
Great article! As a gay man I have witnessed what they have done to the gay community with the fear of HIV: how many thousands were murdered with high doses of AZT, and how many more live day by day taking toxic chemotherapy for life, in order to “kill” a “virus” that they can never find.
Gays (perhaps more than any other substratum of society) feel that they are “unworthy” of living, and believe that the testing and treatments for “HIV”, specifically targeted at them, is a great victory in becoming accepted by society. Bogus tests and lethal treatments!
Humanity should be ashamed of what science has become Prostitution is an appropriate term, as mentioned above. So-called scientists don’t even need to prove anything anymore; all they have to do is say that they have “discovered” a new pathogen (for which usually there’s already a toxic medication waiting to be patented).
Pretty amazing gay man. I applaud your intuition & ability to find your own way to the truth & not follow a herd of sheep 🐑 over a cliff. Welcome to the black sheep brigade!! So proud of your fortitude
HIV drugs don’t ‘kill’ the virus. No one says that about current drugs. No one. They don’t. No one claims they do. They suppress the virus, keeping your viral load low enough that you can live longer than if it replicated freely.
They do come with risks as you mentioned and can raise the risk for certain cancers over a lifetime of taking them. Not everyone who takes HIV management drugs contracts cancer as a result though. HIV kills most who have it. I am a bi-male and several of my bi/gay friends are alive because they take antiretroviral drugs.
A simple google search will tell you that HIV drugs manage an infection and don’t “kill it.” How can you be so bloody ignorant? “What they have done to the gay community with the fear of HIV.” Do you actually realize that HIV has killed 32 million people? What on earth are you talking about, of course it is a concern for gay people. Do you literally think it’s fake? Made up? Do you think God struck down millions of gay men so that Gilead could create a treatment? Drug manufacturers are corrupt of course, but do you ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN YOUR MENTAL MIND that HIV is some kind of hoax? ‘Cause that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.
HIV is not a real disease! Please research this further.
Yep.
Very insightful and provocative!
Think about it, humans adapt to their environment and environments adapt to those who live symbiotically with natural time and natural evolution.
This is a brilliant but long article that, factually and historically outlining the foundation of big Pharmaceuticals and chemical drugs mostly have an aggressive approach, motivated for profit rather than wellbeing. I have just gon through it and pulled out some bits and my comments on some details that stand out as very relevent.
By now many intuitively know that the majority of vaccinations are counterproductive and cause more illness than they are made to prevent, at best. It seems that Antoine Béchamp a fellow member of the French Academy of Science had a different view of illness and disease that took a lot more notice of the environment and the host. Whereas ‘Béchamp was the more brilliant thinker, it seems Pasteur had political connections, including Emperor Napoleon III. Reportedly not above “plagiarising and distorting Béchamp’s research,’ So the misdirection and profit from illness stimulating disease started over well lover 100 years ago.
A agree ‘As one writer more bluntly puts it, “The sooner we get over the legacy of Pasteur’s fake science and get back to reality the better.’
‘Béchamp viewed these fermentation particles as living entities precisely because of their “power of movement and production of fermentation.”20 Subsequent generations of open-minded researchers agreed with Béchamp’s pioneering observations about microparticles as the fundamental unit of biology, with the most recent research in this vein proposing a new genetic theory and a “universal life paradigm” involving spontaneous self-assembly of DNA.21’
Both at the time and thereafter, the public and most fellow scientists found germ theory easy to embrace, perceiving Pasteur’s model of life and health to be not only “superficially plausible” but also “financially exploitable.” In fact, most of the big-name pharmaceutical companies that we know today got their start in Pasteur’s era, often by merging with chemical firms, united in their goal of developing and selling synthetic products to “selectively kill or immobilize parasites, bacteria, and other invasive disease-causing microbes.”16 Quoting comments by Ethel Douglas Hume in 1923,17
• Children who receive pertussis-containing vaccines are more susceptible to pertussis “throughout their lifetimes”;28 five years after completing a pertussis vaccine series, a child will be up to fifteen times more likely to acquire pertussis than in the first year after receiving the vaccine series.29 • Flu shots make people more susceptible to other severe respiratory viruses,30 and people who get flu shots annually are more susceptible to non-vaccine strains of influenza.31

Think about it, humans adapt to their environment and environments adapt to those who live symbiotically with natural time and natural evolution.
Thank you for your very insightful and well-put observations!
It is May 2020 and COVID-19 has invaded our lives. Thank you for an explanation of Pasteur’s germ theory and why it is not relevant today. I have read about Pasteur and about Béchamp, completely disbelieve the germ theory, but find myself today wondering if COVID-19 really is caused by a virus and if it is really contagious. Apparently even the existence of viruses is in dispute. Certainly the Chinese never “proved” that the virus they claimed to have found in one sick person in Wuhan was infectious. (This takes a lot of study of medical journal articles, and I really do not want to get into an argument about it.) The whole “lockdown” strategy is based on the theory of contagion – of transmission of infections – another artifact of Pasteur’s germ theory. What if it is wrong?
Everybody is looking at a virus. Perhaps we should also look at environmental poisons, like glyphosate and vaccination.
And 5g
Yes, glyphosate, gmo foods, polluted water & air, vaccines & 5G. Americans have become some of the sickest people on our planet. 😞😷😡
Another great post, Terri. The comments are particularly instructive. The alternative treatments of treating the gut directly suggest the tremendous importance of fermented foods for good health.
Consider this: viruses as we have learned about them are really exosomes. Exosomes are produced by the body itself as a defense mechanism.

SPECIAL REPORT: Humanity is NOT a virus!
This post that I came across recently hypothesizes that the ‘second wave’ will be mistakenly attributed to a ‘pathogen,’ when it will be due to symptoms of radiation exposure from the new technology roll-out: https://beforeitsnews.com/prophecy/2020/04/the-kings-of-the-controlled-opposition-2nd-wave-of-weaponized-coronavirus-will-be-much-worse-2511073.html
I read an article last year that spoke of Pasteur’s acknowledgment in his later years, of the findings of a contemporary scientist who proved that it was the immune system of the individual and not germs that determined illness and disease, though it was not his belief in his early years. I believe this contemporary was Antonie Bechamp, but can no longer find the article. Regardless, I have my own life and health as a witnesses that it is absolutely my immune system and not germs that determine whether I get sick or not. I can say for certain, therapeutic grades of nutrition and raising the body’s temperature through FREQUENT exercise, exposure to actual sunshine, regular sleep, plenty of Himalayan salt and good water is the key to staying healthy. I rarely if ever got sick in my first 4 decades of life. At 52 the normal physiological changes women go through shifted and my immune system and has resulted in it being less resilient, though im still extremely healthy for 54. I have always been able to sense the slightest shifts in my system and as soon as Im aware my immune system is ramping up for battle, I hit the gym and heat my core up until im soaked with sweat and then go home an soak in a hot bath, with a good cup of chicken broth cooked with onions an garlic. When I do this early enough, it bolsters my body’s defenses and the battle is won before the enemy is out of the gate. With over 320,000 mammalian viruses that we LIVE with not die with, every minute of every day, my greatest concern is both ignorant and evil people who want to use fear to usurp my Liberty over things that have been around millennia before we were. I WANT to be exposed to every NATURAL, immune system simulator out there and I want to be exposed before it mutates and becomes stronger. I’ll say here my response when someone asked me why I didnt have a mask on yesterday. I asked them, “Does that mask youre wearing keep you safe?”, they said yes. I told them, ”If that’s true then I pose no threat to you and your worry is unfounded. However if you are worried that your mask isnt ENOUGH… why are you wearing it?” Getting sick is like getting pregnant, it only takes ONE to get through your protection! Im also of the persuasion that people who’s first reaction of an Unknown issue is to deem it an ”emergency” and limit the Liberties of individuals… NEVER has my best interest in mind. The fact that Fauci and other Gates bought scientist are the proposed ”experts” regarding the wearing of Masks, entirely discredits it for me. NON-Gates scientist, often not of our country, state the mask produces a germ filled, bio dome within a few minutes of wearing it. This is why we’re taught to cough or sneeze into our shirt sleeves or a handkerchief… because we can ‘catch it’. One of the greatest findings of wellness for mankind was by Florence Nightingale. In her personal journal she writes about the astounding results of healing that followed when she improved the quality of fresh, circulating air to those immune compromised, wounded soldiers in her care. She single handedly and without the benefit of ‘modern science’ figured out how to SUPPORT the body’s natural ability to heal which REVERSED the loss of soldiers due to issues of illness in spite of their injuries… and it didnt include masks or vaccines.
Here is an Indonesian study on Covid-19 and vitamin D levels in the infected. Looks like you’ll be fine if you get enough sunshine. If not, you are basically dead.

No germ theory = no coronavirus!!!
I just discovered a new book written by a lovely couple who compiled 10 years of research about ‘the germ theory’. What Really Makes You Ill – Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Disease is Wrong. https://whatreallymakesyouill.com/
I highly recommend buying a copy before it’s burned by Big Pharma/Technocrats!
High frequency radiation levels appear to be at play, a potential co-factor in worsening (any) disease symptoms via weakening the terrain (the body) at the very least. The higher 5G pulsating frequencies were rolled out simultaneously with released-to-the-public ‘declaration of covid19’. Is it coincidence that covid epicenters had recently been supplanted/supplemented with 5G coverage blanketing the epicenter regions in the same timeframe? One can research the work of molecular biologist, Dr. Martin Pall, PhD on this subject.
Thanks, Leigh!
I’ve looked at these alot. I’ve came to the conclusion that both are right. I’ve seen first hand virus spread. My kids returned to school last week and both returned with colds. My wife, teenage son and myself soon followed. The terrain theory is probably the most effective way of never getting sick from them though. I don’t believe in vaccination, not unless it was largely improved in execution and the bodies that supply, were held completely to account. In such a busy life I don’t think I’ll ever have time to properly try get mh self detoxed to attempt terrain theory. I try my best to eat well and regularly go to a box gym. When I’m older and the young ones have flown the nest I’ll give it a full go.
I’ve looked at these alot also. And came to conclusion that there is only one side that is right. And also seen “virus” spread first hand. I also have kid. And that kid also returned from school and got cold few weeks ago. So my wife got it too, and than me. And we all had exactly the same symptoms. But you know what ? Those symptoms were the same as symptoms that we had last year…. and year before that, and before that…… In no more than 2 weeks we were healty again, as last year, and year before that, and ye…… And it was also september (beginning of the school year), and last year it was also september, and the year before that, and year…..Get the point ?

I’ve heard a virologist explain it like this: What we call colds are bacterial infections that are, yes, contagious. What we call flu is a virus and is not contagious unless it is injected into someone.
