Are Germs to Blame?
by author Rhody Lake
Press release, April 30, 2004: “Aventis Pasteur commends the Centers for Disease Control for leadership in recommending immunizations for this pediatric age group shown to be at increased risk for hospitalization due to influenza-related complications.”
Who funded this initiative? It was an unrestricted educational grant to the National Foundation for Infectious Disease from Aventis Pasteur. What is Aventis Pasteur? A multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company, named for Louis Pasteur, the man who started it all.
The Germ Theory
Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist who established the germ theory of disease in 1880, despite the fact that the germ theory had already been disproved by his contemporary, Antoine Bèchamp, 20 years earlier. Bèchamp’s research, however, was successfully suppressed and lost to history. The Encyclopedia Britannica devotes a whole page to the work of Louis Pasteur but makes no mention at all of Antoine Bèchamp.
Yet Bèchamp proved conclusively that the body only becomes host to pathogenic (parasitic) bacteria only after disease or chemical damage has occurred. Scientists know that bacteria are opportunists, which is why there is so much bacterial resistance to antibiotics and why bacteria can so cleverly mutate in order to get their job accomplished.
The Legacy of Pasteur
Pasteur’s research was eagerly taken up by equally opportunistic entrepreneurs who turned the discovery of vaccines into an industry. Pasteur himself apparently regretted the turn events had taken, and it’s been reported that he recanted on his deathbed: “The germ is nothing, the terrain (host) is everything!”
Look around you today and see how far the profit-hungry drug companies have taken a false premise in just over 200 years! Most doctors probably never heard about Antoine Bèchamp in medical school. Instead, they were taught germ theory and, in turn, taught it to their patients. Schools and government health officers promote the dangers of hordes of invading germs from which we must all be protected with vaccines and “anti-life” drugs, and the natural immunity built into the human organism by the wisdom of nature is destroyed a little more in each generation.
Get the immunization schedule for infants and children from your public health nurse. Then do your own research. To start, go to the Vaccination Risk Awareness Network website at vran.org.
