Germ Theory vs. Terrain Theory

Have you ever heard that our gut is our second brain, responsible for the health of 80% of our immune system? Or that every illness can be traced back to a deficiency of some kind or parasites? We are all relatively familiar with the germ theory, as that it the theory we operate under today. And yes, it is just that, a theory. Germ theory would have us believe that there is "a simple interaction between specific microorganisms and

a host." This leaves out entirely, the relationship between the host and environmental factors, "conveniently dismissing social responsibility for disease." This idea was introduced by Louis Pasteur around the same time (the early 1900s) that Antoine Bechamp introduced his theory, the terrain theory. Terrain theory states that our bodies are effectively mini-ecosystems. That everything we do and do not put into our bodies has an effect. Which is honestly great news as it puts the power of our own destinies back into our own hands. How did Louis Pasteur's theory become the governing theory? He had political connections, including Emperor Napoleon III, and his views at the time "were in tune with science and the politics of his day." It was more financially sound decision to go with the theory that would make the most money in the end. Pharmaceutical companies today still base their medications off of this theory.

Antoine Bechamp's theory is centered on the biological role of fermentation. He coined the term "microzymas", (from zyme, the ancient Greek word for a ferment) to describe tiny particles that he viewed as the “primary anatomical elements of all living beings”—“the beginning and end of all organization.” Béchamp viewed these particles as living entities precisely because of their “power of movement and production of fermentation." He realized that ultimately we have total control of our health. Our bodies fight desperately to maintain homeostasis; it wants to be well. Given the right tools, our bodies have the power to fight off all pathogens. We just have to be willing to learn how to give it proper aid through nutrition, really. It's nature that does the healing.

It's interesting to me that most of the other counties in the world help their bodies detox from heavy metals, parasites and other environmental toxins twice a year and Americans do not. We are amongst the most unhealthy in the world. I wonder what the connection could be? What do they know that we do not? Maybe it's time for us to let go of the beliefs that are no longer serving us. It's time to heal and true health starts in the gut. The standard American diets leave us with standard American diseases. Take control of your health today. Knowledge is power!
