Found this amazing info from
Naturopathic practitioners network from Christine Houghton and
Dieter Lueske.
Forms the basis of the true Naturopathic philosophy we were taught by David Duggan in the early 80’s.
Dieter Lueske writes-
.. for the naturopaths who haven't studied history ..
The accidental Protagonists:
Louis Pasteur, French; was a well-known chemist and biologist famous for “pasteurization”, a germ theory and the development of vaccines.
He along with German physician Robert Koch, is considered one of the fathers of the germ theory.
Pasteur was convinced that our blood is germ-free.
Bèchamp, French; known for his breakthroughs in chemistry and in strong rivalry with Pasteur.
Bèchamp said that blood is NOT sterile, claiming that microorganisms come in many forms.
Because of these finding he also says that diseases develops from inside the body.
"The microbe is nothing; the terrain is everything".
Prof. Günther Enderlein, German zoologist and entomologist (1872-1968) based his scientific research on Bèchamp’s work. In his book, “Bakterien Cyclogenie” from 1925, he used a "darkfield microscopy". He found that microorganisms could develop into countless forms whilst living in human blood!
Claude Bernard (1813-1878), a physiologist and contemporary of Pasteur. - The famous quote; “The microbe is nothing. The terrain is everything”, is attributed to him.
Today we know that microorganisms are pleomorphic, (meaning, they can change). A bacterium can mutate into a yeast or fungus and back again.
Claude Bernard and Antoine Bechamp (1816-1908), believed "disease was a condition of imbalance in the internal terrain of body".
They emphasized the context or environment, the TERRAIN , in which germs lived.
On the one hand, if the terrain was balanced (homeostatic), then germs could not flourish.
On the other hand, if the terrain were out of balance, then germs would thrive.
Claude Bernard and Antoine Bechamp's observation and research marks the beginning of "ACTIVE PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE".
