It's not humurous because it's belittling, but because it's Lovecraftian.

True enough. But what is the source of the bacteria?

My whole concept of this is based upon what Be’champ wrote and published in
the scientific literature. The external bacteria, if given entry to the
tissues, are always fatal to the organism. The internal bacteria arise from
even smaller organisms he called microzymas. Once the need for the beneficial
bacteria was overcome, the bacteria regenerated to their former identities and
size, that is, back to the microzyma. Hence, we "recover" from a disease.
Otherwise a bacterial disease would always be fatal just as it can be with
gangrene.


>What would you say occurs after abdominal surgery, when normally
>friendly bacteria from the large intestines infect the wound?


The same thing that happened to my mother following abdominal surgery. She
died.

The bacteria on our skin are not interal, nor friendly bacteria. The bacteria
in our GI tract are not interal, nor friendly, yet they are absolutely
necessary for our survival. The bacteria are on one side of our membranes and
we are on the other side. This is true of the membrane called the skin and the
one called the GI tract.

Are you sure that the enzymes convert vinegar, acetic acid into ATP? First I

This is in complete agreement with Be'champs theories. The microzymas are the
building blocks of the cells and possess their own DNA and life force.
Be'champ was able to successfully culture the critters back to life out of 200
million year old chalk deposits. As far as normal processes go, they are
IMMORTAL!!!

Kinda neat, don't you think?

I don't think you have read or understand one thing that Be'champ and his
followers researched and published.

Go to healthresearchbooks.com. Buy a copy of Pasteur or Be'champ by E. Hume (
I think ). She was Be'champs biographer and had access to him and his notes.
Also buy "The blood and its Fourth anatomical element" by A. Be'champ.

You will find that Pasteur refused to allow his workers to learn or use
Be'champs microscopic techniques. You will also learn that Pasteur would not
allow Be'champ to publish using the word "microzyma." This stuff still goes on
in "peer reviewed" literature.

The heck it doesn't matter. A death bed confession is accepted in a court of
law. Our whole medical system would have to be overhauled. Our esteemed
doctors would have one hell of a lot of appologizing to do for all the babies
and adults that they killed in the name of Louie Pasteur.

This is probably true. However, Be'champ did disprove it and it is in the
literature. They should at least reinvestigate the man's work and then
discredit it or the germ theory of disease.

>Allopathy is not the whole of modern medicine. Modern medicine includes

Yuk, yuk, yuk. Modern medicine has always said " there is no scientific
connection between diet and disease." Just how much nutrition do you think a
drug pushing doc has ever been taught?

Yeah, the blood sacrifice to their God.

I would rather state it as " the improper use of insulin to treat diabetes thus

Not all the "remedies" are just water. Some do have herbal contents.

I visited the site and your link does not work. I found nothing of interest

Kind of a neat example of self-delusion. I don't suppose it could be
that Bechamp was culturing much more recent bacteria that had managed
to colonize his sample?

It doesn't matter, Chuck. If Newton had repudiated his theory of
gravitation on his deathbed, I suppose you'd have us believe that
apples would have started falling upwards.

While they're at it, they should probably reinvestigate the phlogiston
theory of combustion and the geocentric model of the universe.

DRCEEPHD was touched by the minds of the terrible Old Ones, and imparted unto
us these blasphemous ravings:

Since people get plenty of cuts, which can allow external bacteria entry to
the blood, yet most don't die from those cuts, I assume that Bechamp's
includes an immune system that fights external bacteria, and that death only
occurs when the immune system isn't strong enough to fight off those
bacteria? And that the immune system simply ignores the measles virus,
streptococcus bacteria (strep throat), and other microorganisms associated
with non-fatal diseases?

So then, wouldn't giving antibiotics to someone suffering from, say,
tuberculosis or syphilis make the disease even *worse*, by killing off the
beneficial bacteria? Or are those cases of external bacteria?

Also, how exactly are non-fatal viruses beneficial?

Not quite true. There is hearsay rule exception allows a death bed
statement to be introduced in Court.

There are restrictions however. The speaker must be aware of his
impending death. He must die as a result from the same. The statement
must be related to his death.


Ie I'm dying, I know it.
"Rocko shot me!"
He then expires from the gunshot wound.

This statement could be repeated in the subsequent trial of Rocko.

j.


your alleged Pasteur statement is meaningless.

The cuts may give external bacteria entry into our tissues. If enough cellular
damage is done and enough bacteria gain entry, you may get an "infection".
This is the body's way of fighting the bacteria. This is where antibiotics are
most useful. Apply them externally....not internally. Antibiotics are anti
life. Both your life and that of the bacteria.


> I assume that Bechamp's
>includes an immune system that fights external bacteria,


Yes, but contrary to your belief a pure blood system would have very few
circulating white blood cells. The more polluted your blood and poisonous your
lifestyle and dietary, the more white blood cells are required to fight off
bacteria and chemical poisons. Individuals who have been successful at
cleansing their tissues and blood would be diagnosed with AIDS for the low
level of circulating white blood cells
..> that death only
>occurs when the immune system isn't strong enough to fight off those
>bacteria?


Death occurs when the needs of the body require it. The physical body dies and
returns to the earth. The microzymas go on living. They survive after our
physical death.


>And that the immune system simply ignores the measles virus,


The virus is an excuse for the doctor that you are sick and he has no bacteria
to blame it upon. Think of disease as dis-ease. The body is not at ease. It
needs to clean house to keep you alive. Your diseases are the efforts of a
vital body to prolong life by cleansing the body of accumulated poisons and
toxins.

>streptococcus bacteria (strep throat),


Bacteria in the throat are external to the body. Depending upon what the body
is exzuding, different bacteria may grow and proliferate on it using the
exzudate as food. Your exxudates determine what, if any, external bacteria may
show up.

Internal diseases where bacteria are present have beneficial bacteria at work
assisting the body in its housecleaning.



>So then, wouldn't giving antibiotics to someone suffering from, say,
>tuberculosis or syphilis make the disease even *worse*, by killing off the
>beneficial bacteria? Or are those cases of external bacteria?


Taking antibiotics internally gives the body three choices. If the
administered poison ( the antibiotic ) is not too strong, the body will persist
in keeping you alive another day and the disease will go on. If the poison is
strong enough, the body will be forced to stop the healing effort and
neutralize the poison to save your life. However, once you stop the poison,
your disease may come back even worse than before. Lastly, if the poison is
really bad, the body will curl up its toes and you die.

>Also, how exactly are non-fatal viruses beneficial?


Again, bacteria do not invade the body and cannot invade the body to cause
disease. The virus is an excuse that we have no bacteria to blame your illness
upon. No scientist has ever seen the first live virus. They are always dead
organic matter with a partial DNA strand. Dead organic matter cannot come to
life and make you sick any more than your next hamburger can come back to life
and make you a cow...or a bull if you wish.
