Do you beleive in germ theory? - Page 2

[bits and bobs]

The constant and significant illness of yourself and children is very worrying I agree. You seem open to alternatives though and I wonder if you would look at something a little more 'out there' like rebirthing for any or all of you? It seems crazy but may be a way to start again in effect?

I don't believe in Germ Theory. I believe in Cellular Theory/Pleomorphic Theory, based on Bechamp's research. Pasteur admitted on his deathbed that his Germ Theory was wrong: "Bernard acail raison; le terrain c’est tout, le germe c’est rien.” Bacteria and viruses tend to be “environment-specific” meaning its the condition of the body (low resistance, weak immune system, etc.) that will allow the bacteria or virus to develop illness in the person. The illness will only happen when there is that weak bodily imbalance that actually causes the germ or bacteria to take over the body. Bacteria and viruses alone do not cause disease. Hume wrote a book called Bechamp or Pasteur? which explains this. Lots of good information that explains this here too: http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/antib...ntibiotic-Age/

Thanks again for all the responces.

bits and bobs- we have done some rebirthing type work and seen some improvement with it but it clearly wasn't the whole picture for us. (traumatic birth for #1)

It isn't a condition that is cut and dried. That is part of my problem. If I felt confident that the medicine would cure the disease in nearly every case and not cause additional issues the decision would be easier. That isn't the case. It cures some, makes some worse, and does nothing much for others. The medicine has it's own ramifications as far as long term health goes as well.

I have been trying to balance my body for a long time but just recently did this new dx come to light. Also perhaps I have not been extreme enough in my approach. Perhaps I'm not able to be extreme enough. All things I am wrestling with.

Whereupon time ceased. I'm always puzzled as to why this canard gets trotted out in the first place. Even if it were true (when anyone bothers to provide a citation, it's usually fourth-hand by way of Marie Nonclercq, who is claimed to have found it in De Claude Bernard a d'Arsonval by Léon Delhoume, but which passage never seems to properly turn up; the biography by René Vallery-Radot, who was more likely than any of the foregoing to have been there, omits this shocking revelation), what difference would it make?

We use these theories because they help us to accurately predict events. In the case of germ theory, it also helps that we can see microorganisms under a microscope.

Germ theory does not require that everyone exposed to a germ will become ill in order to be true. Some people will be immune (because of heredity, prior exposure, superior nutrition, or dumb luck). Germ theory does not require that all microorganisms make us ill. Germ theory also does not require that all illness arise from microorganisms. Some illness results from injury, heredity, nutritional or metabolic deficiencies, cellular mutation, exposure to toxic substances, or from other causes.

Whether or not homeopathics work has NOTHING to do with whether or not microorganisms can make us ill. The Bell's Palsy example is particularly irrelevant because true Bell's Palsy is not caused by viruses or other microorganisms, but by nerve inflammations. The conventional medical treatment for BP is corticosteroids to resolve inflammation. Most cases of Bell's Palsy resolve within 10 days, including many untreated cases. Further, you may have seen the results you did because of a simple placebo effect.

Well put and concise. Thank you. This is my opinion as well.
