BOOK – paperback and epub

Béchamp or Pasteur? is the explosive classic that challenges the foundations of modern medicine.

Ethel Hume’s meticulous history argues that the Germ Theory of disease was built on the plagiarized and distorted work of Antoine Béchamp, a contemporary of Louis Pasteur.

This vital book presents the case for Béchamp’s “Terrain Theory” – that the health of the body (the terrain) is more critical than the presence of germs – and details the scientific and political rivalry that shaped biology for the next century.
