(SilverBulletinEnewsMagazine) We have been taught to fear germs, pathogens, viruses, and bacteria that invade us from out there. This is the Pasteur model of disease contagion. Actually, it wasn’t his novel idea. He said he had tested and confirmed it. Not all medical doctors and scientists agreed with Pasteur.

Here’s a zinger from the father of cellular pathology, Rudolph Virchow (1821-1902): “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; for example, mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant.”
Claude Bernard argued against Louis Pasteur’s questionable germ theory confirmation and claimed the “inner terrain is all; the germ is nothing”. It’s reported he once drank a glass of cholera contaminated water in front of other physicians and wound up with only a slight case of diarrhea to prove his point.
Pasteur’s notion was eagerly accepted because he was better at promoting himself and it simplified matters. For every microbe discovered in diseased tissue or blood, a pharmaceutical drug could be created. But it doesn’t answer these questions: How come some get a disease that’s going around and others don’t? How do all these new bugs come out of nowhere to haunt us? Why do vaccines and antibiotics ultimately fail and create super bugs?
These questions are answered by understanding the inner terrain and pleomorphism, which does not negate the existence of germs. Natural anti-pathogenic microbe agents such as colloidal silver, mega-dose vitamin C, grapefruit seed extract, even garlic and other natural remedies can assist the immune system to defeat any pathogens that have attacked weakened tissue or blood. And they don’t have the long and short term adverse side effects that Big Pharma antibiotics and antivirals render.
But those germs didn’t necessarily come from out there. They were probably in there to begin with, but held in check by the inner terrain and it’s immune system.
The Inner Terrain
The inner terrain includes but is not just our immune system. A condition of homeostasis can be determined by using pH strips to measure our pH. Saliva pH readings are usually slightly lower than what the ideal blood pH is, and urine pH varies wildly. Saliva readings just under 7.0 may indicate a healthy alkalinity.
Those who stepped out of line from Pasteur’s dogma asserted that the inner terrain was more vital for remaining disease free than creating new antibiotics and vaccines to kill bacteria and viruses. Conventional medicine’s toxic efforts at killing microbes instead of creating better inner terrains result in creating even more disease!
Not so effective for creating a healthy population, but very lucrative. Remember, sanitation, good plumbing, clean drinking water and adequate nutrition are more responsible for mimimizing infectious diseases than vaccinations and antibiotics combined as they support a healthy inner terrain.
The human inner terrain supports health by maintaining a balanced, slightly alkaline pH in the 7.0-7.5 range. Less leads to acidosis, a breeding ground for disease. Below six is where many advanced cancer patients register. Diet, digestion, exercise, detox, and stress reduction should support the inner terrain’s pH. All the alternative healing arts, current and ancient, are aware of this as they focus on bringing the body into balance.
The Medical Mafia and Big Pharma have ignored this in favor of continuing their profitable disease care racket with its domino effect of expensive, patented claimed “cures” that reduce the immune system’s efficiency by lowering one’s pH into more acidic levels to cause more disease.
Paul Fassa started looking into natural health to overcome his unhealthy lifestyle. Then he developed more interest as he researched his articles for Natural News and Align Life.
He is amazed at the ignorance of natural medicine and how beneficial foods and herbs are constantly ignored or vilified in order to promote toxic foods and meds by Big Pharma, the FDA, USDA, and the AMA, what he likes to call the “Medical Mafia”.
