What if modern medicine were based on a divergent branch of science whose objectivity was tainted by egos and people who used their power to enforce the truth as they see it?
From The Lost History of Medicine:

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.

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.
