Germ Theory Wrong

February 1, 2008

THIS BOOK IS PHENOMENAL - Finally articulated in a way I could not. (but

I don't agree with his pH info totally - I agree that pH is an important

issue but I don't agree with his numbers and need for vegetarian diet

You have heard me talk about this issue if you have been on my vaccinations

lists or in some of my classes. I have read a lot of this info and

O. Young, teaches it well ESPECIALLY in this book which I just started

reading (got it for Joe 2 months ago!). It is phenomenal! You have to get

this book!

Germs and viruses DO NOT cause disease - they are the result of disease and

there to help rebuild, clean up the mess. All formed within us and don't

come from outside

(I know that may be shocking to some of you, but read the article and I''ll

post more here - and get the book)

Lots on that issue and how to eat more healthfully created a more alkaline

environment

The Lost History of Medicine

Sick and Tired?: Reclaim Your Inner TerrainOne of the best books ever to

have been recommended to me is called Sick and Tired?: Reclaim Your Inner

Terrain, by Dr Young (no relationship to the actor) and his wife,

. I recommend this book more than any other we’ve ever touched upon

at this web site. And I’ll tell you why as I go along here.

I’ve always had suspicions that, no matter what our research here has

uncovered, there was still something missing. All too often we'd come

across something that has no historical perspective. Take Roy Rife: his

work came, it would seem, from nowhere, and after his research was

destroyed, it went nowhere. Then there is Gaston Naessens. We’ve talked

about his cure for cancer called 714X, but his work with somatids, again,

had no apparent historical perspective. His discovery comes from nowhere,

and goes nowhere as medicine refused to accept his theories, even though

they are well documented with slides, movies, and even a multimedia show.

With the discovery of Sick and Tired, I finally discovered the missing

link. Dr Young shows us a history that has been wiped out of our medical

texts and wiped out for a good reason. If we were to acknowledge these lost

discoveries, everything we know about medicine today would topple.

It is our intention to display for you objective scientific research that

has been ignored, covered up, and abandoned by those who profit from your

being ill.

Despite a system that treats symptoms only, kills 3 to 6 thousand people

weekly, cures one thing only to cause another, conventional medicine is

still very popular. Why? Because it is based upon religious tenets and not

upon science. (See Modern Medicine: The New World Religion) And, as we'll

mention once more in this newsletter, modern conventional medicine is

popular because it works instantly; you take a pill, and the pain is gone.

How much more wonderful could that be?

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.

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

, 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.

Heart Disease and Alkalinity

From a lecture by Scientist/Nutritionist Dr Fred Kaufman we get the

following quotation:

" Why is it just the arteries around the heart that get clogged and not the

other veins and capillaries? Because wherever there is a muscle producing

energy there’s always a by-product of lactic acid or waste....as you know

any kind of acid can burn.....this lactic acid burns holes in the arteries

and the liver uses cholesterol to patch those holes. Because heart is a

muscle that continually produces lactic Acid. The more acidic your blood is

the more clogged your arteries are. "

This is why our omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids are so important to heart

health. They cut the production of lactic acid. As Johanna Budwig

discovered, these oils are highly charged (negatively) and if

bio-available, they keep our bodies negatively charged and alkaline. (See

the article Johanna Budwig Revisited, at the bottom, for information on our

favorite product, Omegasentials.)

Summary

There you have it. Our medical and scientific communities have sold out to

the profiteers and have erased one huge chunk of science (scientific fact)

from our history. You stay sick; they stay rich. And sadly, they’re in this

too. They too are sick for having overlooked this bit of information. Is

there anyone who doesn't now understand why we, Americans, pay more for

medical care than any other people on the planet yet our health care system

is ranked 24th?

I highly recommend Dr Young’s book. It is an eye opener. He also has a

wonderful web site (http://www.beaphmiracle.com/index.html).

There are things that I found in Dr Young’s book that I disagree with.

Mainly a few of his nutritional beliefs. They seemed a little off the mark,

at least from our nutritional research. I was also reading another book at

the same time called Alkalize or Die by Dr Theodore A Baroody. The

nutritional advice in this other book seems to be more realistic. But then

again, even some of the things he says in Alkalize or Die. concerning heart

disease don't jive with our findings on heart disease. This is to be

expected. What we know today in the sciences is still very little compared

to what we will know ten, twenty, thirty years from now. Learning is an

endless, but joyful journey.

So now, let us focus on returning our bodies to their alkaline and

negatively charged state.

Hi,

I have been inactive on this site for some time and have spent the day going through old posts that I hadn't read.

I thought I'd repost this from 2007 for those that had not seen it...I wish I had read it in 2007, am feeling sad for those that I could have helped.....

Love and light

Forinstance, Pasteur's experiments that "proved" his germ theory were lessthan scientific, according to Béchamp . Pasteur had injected healthyanimals with the

blood of a sick animal. The healthy animals got sick.First off do I need to point out that we do not catch germs in thisfashion? I mean, if I had to get an injection to catch a cold, I'd nevercatch one.Secondly, there are too many variables in a syringe full of a sick animal'sblood to "prove" that the germs in the blood are making the experimentalanimal sick. Béchamp made the obvious observation that Pasteur waspoisoning 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 (thoughhe never mentioned his nemesis Béchamp).Bernard is considered the Father of Experimental medicine today. He was aphysiologist. However, his greatest achievements are entirely overlookedtoday. Let me give you one example of this man's assertions.Amidst a group of physicians and

scientists, Claude Bernard made thestatement: "The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing," and then drankdown a glass of water filled with cholera.There are not many scientists who are willing to risk their lives on atheory. This we know. Claude Bernard has few equals in the history ofmedicine.Germs Do Not Cause DiseaseThe most telling "concept" that has ever crossed my desk is the quotationDr Young uses right at the beginning of his book, Sick and Tired:If I could live my life over again, I would devote it toproving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue-rather thanbeing the cause of the diseased tissue; e.g., mosquitoes seek the stagnantwater, 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 forthe first time, it hit me like a brick. I've always known

the terrain wasthe key, but I had always thought of the terrain as the immune system. Ihad had no idea that the proper terrain alone was, by itself, enough forperfect health. Nor had it ever occurred to me that the immune system wasmerely a backup system that took over when the terrain failed. So, Béchamp was, in effect, telling Pasteur that his experiments provednothing because it poisoned the experimental animal's terrain, henceallowing 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 aglass over the cheese so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Now watch themboth over the over the next few days. What do you think will happen? Thebanana 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'srotten inside. Smell the banana and you'll smell a hint of alcohol. It'sfermenting.Something that perhaps only a few of you already knew is: The cheese moldsfrom 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 thatgoes to work when it dies. They are programmed to clean up the mess ourdead bodies leave behind.This is a VERY important concept for us to know and remember, always.Healthy TerrainSo what is healthy terrain? Béchamp began to describe it nearly two hundredyears ago, but Claude Bernard finally put it this way. It consists of twointernal factors:1. Alkalinity2. Negative Electrical ChargeContributing to a healthy terrain are two factors, according to Bernard:1. Nutrition2.

ToxinsOne must have proper nutrition and be free of toxins to maintain a healthyterrain. More recent studies add one more factor contributing to a healthyterrain: Emotions/Mental Health.In our last newsletter we touched upon psychoneuroimmunolo gy with a smalltest that you can take on your own (Click Here to see it). The higher thescore, the greater your chances of getting sick. Why? Well, the higher thescore, the greater your acidity/the less your alkalinity. There is anemotional side to our terrain. You can do everything the books tell you tokeep your body alkaline, but if you have unchecked emotional issues, youwill still be acidic. This is the body/mind connection, or as someone putit: 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 wecook 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 pieceof chicken, steak, or fish you consume causes your body to become acidic.The Clean-Up Crew WithinBéchamp theorized that there was a particle of life in us, the smallestliving thing on the planet, called a microzyma. It is a plant. Scientistsprevious to Béchamp had seen these little "molecular granulations" but hadno idea what they were. Gaston Naessens discovered somatids. Are they thesame thing? I think so. Many think so. The newer powerful dark fieldmicroscopes 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 ourstandard 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 thefirst to describe blood thus). The things in our blood are alive. And onething modern medicine does not accept is that something like a bacteriumcan change into a yeast that can turn into a fungus that can turn into amold. We've talked about this in previous newsletters; it is calledpleomorphism. 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 ofMinnesota, Naessens discovered that his somatids are nearly indestructible.They resisted blasts of radiation, temperatures up to 392 degrees, andlaughed at the strongest acids. Naessens mapped the somatid's (ormicrozyma's) pleomorphic life cycle. Others have documented the pleomorphicchanges in bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds and

fungi. Dr Young, the author of Sick and Tired has watched these tiny creatureschange from one to another under a dark field microscope. He has even seena 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 DiseaseWhen does disease begin? In our culture, disease begins at the onset ofsymptoms. In Chinese medicine, disease begins much earlier. However, withthe theories of Béchamp followed by the scientific and verifiable researchof Professor Gunter Enderlein (who basically proved all the theories ofBéchamp), we now have a new definition of disease.Disease begins when our alkaline tissues turn acidic and when our negativeenergy charge turns positive.This is the beginning of disease.Perhaps we should be quoting Dr Arthur C Guyton MD

who wrote the Textbookof Medical Physiology (once used in most medical schools):The first steps in maintaining health is to alkalize the body ( pHor acid/alkaline balance). This is one of the most important aspects ofhomeostasis. Changes in pH alter virtually all body functions.The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of adiseased body are below a pH of 7.0. The more acidic the cell, the sickerwe become. If the body cannot alkalize the cells they will become acidicand thus, disease sets in. Our bodies produce acid as a by product ofnormal metabolism. Since our bodies do not manufacture alkalinity, we mustsupply the alkalinity from an outside source to keep us from becomingacidic and dying.A Little ChemistryWater is one oxygen molecule connected to two hydrogen molecules. If youbreak the water molecule apart, you have one hydrogen on one side and anoxygen 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 anumber; don't let it confuse you. I do like to refer to pH as Potential forHydrogen. Dunno why, it's how I learned it. But I have also learned thatthe more hydrogen in a solution the more acidic that solution, and the moreoxygen the more alkaline. Alkalinity means oxygen. We need oxygen to survive. We need oxygen tomaintain 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 ananaerobic (without oxygen) existence. They metabolize without oxygen, justlike fermentation. Fermentation produces alcohol (as one of

its wasteproducts) and many more wastes known as mycotoxins (that further corruptour environment) .Remember the smell of the banana? When we become acidic, our immune systems attempt to bring us back intoorder and balance, or homeostasis. Our immune system is, first, a clean-upcrew, 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 beenreplaced 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 tore-balance the system. This is a secondary job. However, if we are really,really sick and begin to get attacked by outside invaders, then thisoverworked immune system has to try to fend them off. This is our immunesystem's backup job. As Dr Young

points out, when this happens, we'reriding 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 thatbacteria and germs and fungus all survive without oxygen. Because I'm aboutto tell you something that will knock your sox off.Remember that clean-up crew we're all born with inside? The clean-up crewthat ate the banana from the inside out?When we turn acidic (lose our oxygen and our negative charge), the clean-upcrew goes to work, BECAUSE IT THINKS WE ARE DEAD.This is where the first symptoms of illness show up, but you have to belooking for them. The Chinese use smell and taste, and the shapes offingernails, 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

thecleanup crew. As this yeast turns into a fungus, it spreads its thinmycelia throughout our bodies attacking other organs. The clean-up crewproduces wastes called mycotoxins. One of the wastes is uric acid, anotheris alcohol, and yet another is aflatoxin, one of the most potentcarcinogens known.Our liver starts producing more cholesterol to help clean up thesemycotoxins. Take LipitorT and all you'll do is allow the mycotoxins tocreate more and more damage to organs and blood vessels.Now you know why modern medicine has ignored years of research andscientific 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 ofalignment 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

ifwe 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 IllnessRemember Rudolf Virchow's quotation? Once our system is acidic, and oncethe clean-up crew kicks in, we start to get diseased tissues. Once we havediseased tissues, outside germs can find a favorable environment in whichto grow. They produce the secondary illnesses we, in this modern culture,call illness or disease. As amazing as it can seem, germs are attracted tothe 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 MinnesotaMedical School that every cancer patient ever tested has been found to havecandida in their blood stream. They also noted, almost as an aside, thatcandida wasn't responsive to drug

therapy.I can assure you that long before a person has cancer, that person has asystemic yeast problem. It just hasn't surfaced. The mycotoxins released bya yeast/fungal infection cause the body to become even more acidic (witheven less oxygen).Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for describing how cancer metabolizes. Hesaid that cells once thriving on oxygen suddenly become anaerobic.If you were a cell, and you were deprived of oxygen (by an acidicenvironment) how would you survive? Wouldn't you try to change your methodof metabolism to one that did not require oxygen?Cancer could very well be our bodies trying to survive the conditions we'veallowed 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 youwon't. Symptoms of AcidosisSince the first step in the disease process occurs when our

alkalineterrain turns acidic, it follows that acidosis is the number one disease inhuman 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, Minnesota, we learned the symptoms of the three stages of acidosis. The symptoms of the first stage of acidosis are so common that most peoplesimply take a pain killer or some over the counter medication to mask thesymptoms: headaches, food allergies, bloating, acne, panic attacks, lack ofenergy, lack of sex drive, cold hands and feet, agitation, hard to sleep,hard to get up, sinus headaches, and an increased susceptibility to coldsand flu and whatever's going around.The symptoms in phase two might bring you to a doctor, but still, some justself-medicate: cold sores, hives,

depression, migraines, asthma, urinarytract 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 goesmuch further than just under your toenails. It is all over your body. Andno drug (diflucan) will end it, though it might clear up symptoms for a while.The final stages of acidosis are chronic, debilitating diseases: Crohn'sdisease, multiple sclerosis, leukemia, all cancers, Hodgkin's disease,schizophrenia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and tuberculosis just to name afew. Heart Disease and Alkalinity From a lecture by Scientist/Nutrition ist Dr Fred Kaufman we get thefollowing quotation:"Why is it just the arteries around the heart that get clogged and not theother veins and capillaries? Because wherever there is a muscle

producingenergy there's always a by-product of lactic acid or waste....as you knowany kind of acid can burn.....this lactic acid burns holes in the arteriesand the liver uses cholesterol to patch those holes. Because heart is amuscle that continually produces lactic Acid. The more acidic your blood isthe more clogged your arteries are."This is why our omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids are so important to hearthealth. They cut the production of lactic acid. As Johanna Budwigdiscovered, these oils are highly charged (negatively) and ifbio-available, they keep our bodies negatively charged and alkaline. (Seethe article Johanna Budwig Revisited, at the bottom, for information on ourfavorite product, Omegasentials. )Summary There you have it. Our medical and scientific communities have sold out tothe profiteers and have erased one huge chunk of science (scientific fact)from our history. You

stay sick; they stay rich. And sadly, they're in thistoo. They too are sick for having overlooked this bit of information. Isthere anyone who doesn't now understand why we, Americans, pay more formedical care than any other people on the planet yet our health care systemis ranked 24th? I highly recommend Dr Young's book. It is an eye opener. He also has awonderful web site (http://www.beaphmir acle.com/ index.html). There are things that I found in Dr Young's book that I disagree with.Mainly a few of his nutritional beliefs. They seemed a little off the mark,at least from our nutritional research. I was also reading another book atthe same time called Alkalize or Die by Dr Theodore A Baroody. Thenutritional advice in this other book seems to be more realistic. But thenagain, even some of the things he says in Alkalize

or Die. concerning heartdisease don't jive with our findings on heart disease. This is to beexpected. What we know today in the sciences is still very little comparedto what we will know ten, twenty, thirty years from now. Learning is anendless, but joyful journey.So now, let us focus on returning our bodies to their alkaline andnegatively charged state.Bibliography and Further Reading Sick and Tired?: Reclaim Your Inner TerrainYoung, O, Young, Redford, Sick and Tired?: Reclaim YourInner Terrain.

htmThe Lost

History of MedicineSick and Tired?: Reclaim Your Inner TerrainOne of the best books ever tohave been recommended to me is called Sick and Tired?: Reclaim Your InnerTerrain, by Dr Young (no relationship to the actor) and his wife,. I recommend this book more than any other we've ever touched uponat this web site. And I'll tell you why as I go along here.http://www.amazon. com/exec/ obidos/ISBN% 3D1580540562/ wellwithinA/ 103-5985007-9909426I've always had suspicions that, no matter what our research here hasuncovered, there was still something missing. All too often we'd comeacross something that has no historical perspective. Take Roy Rife: hiswork came, it would seem, from nowhere, and after his research wasdestroyed, it went nowhere. Then there is Gaston Naessens.

We've talkedabout his cure for cancer called 714X, but his work with somatids, again,had no apparent historical perspective. His discovery comes from nowhere,and goes nowhere as medicine refused to accept his theories, even thoughthey are well documented with slides, movies, and even a multimedia show.With the discovery of Sick and Tired, I finally discovered the missinglink. Dr Young shows us a history that has been wiped out of our medicaltexts and wiped out for a good reason. If we were to acknowledge these lostdiscoveries, everything we know about medicine today would topple.It is our intention to display for you objective scientific research thathas been ignored, covered up, and abandoned by those who profit from yourbeing ill.Despite a system that treats symptoms only, kills 3 to 6 thousand peopleweekly, cures one thing only to cause another, conventional medicine isstill very

popular. Why? Because it is based upon religious tenets and notupon science. (See Modern Medicine: The New World Religion) And, as we'llmention once more in this newsletter, modern conventional medicine ispopular because it works instantly; you take a pill, and the pain is gone.How much more wonderful could that be? The Germ TheoryEveryone has heard of Louis Pasteur. He is considered the father of theGerm Theory of Medicine and he invented the process of pasteurization.Despite the simple fact that the Germ Theory of Medicine was at least ahundred 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, hetoo often doubted his assumptions. On his death bed, he even

recantedsaying 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 inSick and Tired, the immune system's function of fighting off germs is itssecondary job. If you're immune system is battling off bugs, you're drivingon a "spare tire," according to the good doctor.The TerrainWhat exactly is a healthy terrain?Dr Young's book introduced me to Antoine BÃ©champ. I looked him up on theweb and read one of his books published there. Amazing stuff. You won'tfind BÃ©champ's name in the history of medicine. He and his work have beenexpurgated. When he died, his accomplishments were listed in a journal.They took up seven pages. Some of the things we attribute to

Pasteur wereactually accomplished by BÃ©champ.Even though BÃ©champ was a scientist, his work is very easy to read.Scientists hadn't yet developed their Latin/Greek lingo that would keep theaverage person on the sidelines looking in.The first thing I read by him was a study on cats. One group was fed cookedfoods and the other was fed raw foods. The raw foods group were muchhealthier than the group fed cooked foods. By the third generation, theyoung of the cooked foods group (also getting cooked foods) did not surviveinto adulthood.Is there any wonder why the Cancer Diet is 70% live foods?Now BÃ©champ was a critic of Pasteur's. Pasteur hated BÃ©champ, mainlybecause BÃ©champ was constantly finding fault in Pasteur's work. Forinstance, Pasteur's experiments that "proved" his germ theory were lessthan scientific, according to BÃ©champ . Pasteur had injected healthyanimals with the

blood of a sick animal. The healthy animals got sick.First off do I need to point out that we do not catch germs in thisfashion? I mean, if I had to get an injection to catch a cold, I'd nevercatch one.Secondly, there are too many variables in a syringe full of a sick animal'sblood to "prove" that the germs in the blood are making the experimentalanimal sick. BÃ©champ made the obvious observation that Pasteur waspoisoning 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 (thoughhe never mentioned his nemesis BÃ©champ).Bernard is considered the Father of Experimental medicine today. He was aphysiologist. However, his greatest achievements are entirely overlookedtoday. Let me give you one example of this man's assertions.Amidst a group of physicians and

scientists, Claude Bernard made thestatement: "The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing," and then drankdown a glass of water filled with cholera.There are not many scientists who are willing to risk their lives on atheory. This we know. Claude Bernard has few equals in the history ofmedicine.Germs Do Not Cause DiseaseThe most telling "concept" that has ever crossed my desk is the quotationDr Young uses right at the beginning of his book, Sick and Tired:If I could live my life over again, I would devote it toproving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue-rather thanbeing the cause of the diseased tissue; e.g., mosquitoes seek the stagnantwater, 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 forthe first time, it hit me like a brick. I've always known

the terrain wasthe key, but I had always thought of the terrain as the immune system. Ihad had no idea that the proper terrain alone was, by itself, enough forperfect health. Nor had it ever occurred to me that the immune system wasmerely a backup system that took over when the terrain failed. So, BÃ©champ was, in effect, telling Pasteur that his experiments provednothing because it poisoned the experimental animal's terrain, henceallowing 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 aglass over the cheese so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Now watch themboth over the over the next few days. What do you think will happen? Thebanana starts to turn black and the cheese begins to mold. They go bad.They rot. Now slice open the cheese. Inside, no
