The Road Less Travelled and How We Lost a Chapter in the History of Biology
The alkaline theory is nothing new; in fact it has been around since the late 18 th hundreds.
The concept of specific, unchanging types of bacteria causing specific diseases in the body became accepted as the foundation of conventional allopathic medicine, microbiology and pharmacology in the late 19th century in Europe. It was adopted by the American medical industry, and it is practised today in mainstream medicine. Pasteur’s contemporary Antoine Bechamp and his followers had a very different theory, but unfortunately even though Bechamp was a highly acclaimed scientist with many achievements , he did not have (nor was he interested in) the political power and contacts that Pasteur had.
Claude Bernard, a French physiologist (1813-1878) believed that ‘the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything’. This means that bacteria and fungus, whether coming from outside of the body or from within the body (pleomorphic) could cause sickness and disease only if they were permitted to grow in an unhealthy terrain.
But of course, by then it was too late….
So how does this all fit and support the alkaline theory?
