| Neohygiene By: Dan Hall Excellent article. A fascinating perspective on the medical profession and the confusion they create regarding germs and disease. "The germ theory of disease came on the heels of the Middle Ages when people believed that demons and evil spirits caused all diseases, it was not a big transition to go from demons to microscopic bacteria. The belief in viruses came later, but they don’t cause disease, either. Am I saying that Ebola, HIV, and other viruses don’t cause disease? Am I saying that pneumonia, and other diseases are not caused by bacteria? The answer to both questions is a resounding Yes." |
| Germ Theory Of Disease By: Gabriel Donohoe “Modern medicine is firmly founded on the Germ Theory of Disease promulgated by Louis Pasteur in the 1860's. Pasteur's 140-year-old theory is still the medical paradigm upon which Western medicine fights disease. With a huge increase in infectious diseases and the rapidly rising epidemic of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses; we have to wonder if Pasteur's theory is really that sound. This new theory about germs invading from outside the body empowered the medical and pharmaceutical industry as guardians of human and animal health." |
| Pasteur & Germ Theory By: Anuradha Vashisht Great Article. Natural Hygiene is alive and well in India where the philosophy of natural healthcare has been in place for centuries. "Germs or viruses are nature’s tools to cleanse and clean up. They do not cause disease; they only come to feed on the disease-causing toxin that has accumulated inside the organism. Germs are no more the cause of disease than flies are the cause of garbage. Through the disease process life is making an effort to re-establish lost health." |
| Germs By: Herbert M. Shelton Excerpt From: The Hygienic System Great article from the master of physiology and human health. What Shelton has to say about the Germ Theory is pure logical science that will remain true today, tomorrow and into the future. "When health is normal the digestive secretions are sufficient protection against germs and parasites. If germs are powerless against a healthy body the logical preventive is the cultivation of health." |
| The Germ Theory Of Disease Causation By: Robert & Kerrie Broe "We do not catch diseases. We build them. We have to eat, drink, think, and feel them into existence. We work hard at developing our diseases. We must work just as hard at restoring health. The presence of germs does not constitute the presence of a disease. Bacteria are scavengers of nature they reduce dead tissue to its smallest element. Germs are not the cause of the disease, any more than flies and maggots cause garbage. Flies, maggots, and rats do not cause garbage but rather feed on it." |
| Louis Pasteur vs Antoine Bechamp By: Tony Isaacs, Natural News "Mainstream medicine believes that virtually all illness is caused by germs or genetic hereditary weakness. Their solution and strategy is to have us believe that there are over 10,000 different diseases and that each disease requires outside intervention from drugs and surgery. The germ theory enabled mainstream medicine to hugely profit from patented drugs and treatments. Someday the germ theory and unnatural drugs will be relegated to the science junk pile where they belong." |
| Why Louis Pasteur's Germ Theory Is A Curse By: Dr. Nancy Appleton, Ph.D. "In the late nineteenth century Louis Pasteur's "germ theory" became the medical paradigm, the controlling medical idea, for the Western world. In its simplest form, the germ theory proposes that the body is sterile and that germs from the air cause disease. The medical community started to look for the right pill to kill off the germ. The billion dollar pharmaceutical industry has taken away some of the symptoms and pain but has not found the answer to many infectious and most degenerative diseases.” |
| Germ Theory, Beriberi & Deficiency Theory of Disease By: K. Codell Carter An example of how a nutritional deficiency can be mistaken for a disease caused by germs. Study discredits the germ theory. "it was already known that nutrition cured scurvy and beriberi but once the germ theory became popular scientists decided to re-visit the scurvy issue caused by deficiency and try to find a germ instead. No fact in medicine is more clearly established than that the exclusive cause of scurvy and beriberi is the prolonged and complete withdrawal of succulent plants and fruits." |
| Smallpox By: Dr. Virginia Vetrano "It is claimed by medical historians that the vaccination process wiped out smallpox throughout the world. However, the truth is that compulsory vaccination was abandoned because more deaths were caused by the vaccinations than there were cases of smallpox. Smallpox is a disease of the bon vivant, epicurean, who overeats on a daily basis especially on animal foods. Instead of toxins being taken care of by the liver or the kidneys the body sometimes chooses to eject them through the skin. Vicarious eliminations such as this are often natural emergency measures." |
| Cause of Polio, Virus or DDT? By: Jim West "Before 1950, DDT was hailed as a miracle of progress that was virtually nontoxic to humans, in spite of the FDA's attempts to keep it off the market. DDT was sprayed directly on dairy cows, their feed, bedding and water. US Department of Agriculture found that although feed treated with DDT caused no damage to the cows eating it the health of their calves was severely impaired, sometimes with fatal results. DDT is a neurotoxin and the calves developed something very much like infantile poliomyelitis." |
| Sexually Contagious Diseases? By: www.rawfoodexplained.com Article refutes popular belief that sexual diseases are caused by germs and transmitted from one partner to another. “It is not true that venereal diseases are contagious. The concept of contagion is unproven despite appearances. Medical scare words are used to stampede customers into the offices of medical practitioners. The fact that fasting will enable an organism to heal quickly in injury or illness and drugging will defer or prevent healing altogether is some indication of the error of the medical school of thought." |
| Epidemics By: Herbert M. Shelton Herbert Shelton is the expert in the field of healthcare, so we offer several articles by the well read experienced authority on the subject of germs and disease. “Environmental Improvements, Not Vaccines, Eliminate Epidemics. Concurrent with environmental improvements including better sanitation some forms of disease have disappeared. Vaccine promoters have taken the credit for the virtual disappearance of smallpox but nothing is said about the dwindling of cholera, plague, and leprosy, for which no vaccines exist.” |
| Prevention of Epidemics By: Herbert M. Shelton "Epidemics are due to mass prostrating influences, commonly of an environmental character. Overeating on Thanksgiving and Christmas is invariably followed by an increase in illness of the population. Mass famines mass fear as in war, mass overwork and national emergencies, may result in increased illness. Prolonged heat, prolonged cold, prolonged dry or rainy weather and similar meteorological stresses are sufficient to further prostrate the already greatly enervated and toxemic and result in mass illness." |
| Disease, Remedial Activity By: Herbert M. Shelton "Devil-chasers were common in those benighted days of the Middle Ages, devil-chasing was as popular as microbe slaying is today. The medieval wizard who chased devils has evolved into the modem serologist who chases microbes. This old idea that disease is an entity that attacks the body and wreaks as much havoc as possible has taken several forms through the ages and is incarnated in the germ theory that holds sway today. Hippocrates broke away from the theory that disease is a divine punishment, but he was unable to fully emancipate himself from the belief that it is an attacking entity.” |
| Enervation & Toxemia By: Herbert M. Shelton "In line with the old concept of disease as something imposed from without, an attacking entity, medical men and the public have been taught to think of causation in terms of germs, viruses and parasites. What is meant by the term enervation? It means the reduction of nerve energy sufficient to interfere with or reduce the organic activities of the body. In the last analysis toxemia is the result of fatigue of the nervous system to a sufficient degree to lessen the functioning power of life and cripple the effort to maintain normal functions." |
| Heredity By: Herbert M. Shelton "Heredity is the transmission of germinal characteristics, including germinal weakness. But we do not inherit "disease." One may inherit a weak, narrow chest, weak lungs, etc, but he does not inherit tuberculosis. Congenital defects, and larval weaknesses are more likely to be due to nutritional deficiencies than to an affliction of the parent. It is often nothing more mysterious than the fact that the same conditions that produce the "disease" in the parents are usually present in the life of the child. The same food, bad hygiene and lack of sunshine that produced tuberculosis in the parent may produce the same pathology in the child.” |
| A True Perspective Of Health & Disease By: Herbert M. Shelton "Drugs may suspend vital activity such that symptoms disappear but they do not remove cause. They may kill germs but they also kill off patients. Powerful X-rays may destroy a cancerous growth but they also destroy healthy tissue and cause further cancer while leaving intact the causes of disease. Agents such as drugs that produce disease in the well cannot possibly produce health in the sick. To "cure" disease, remove the causes of disease. It is the worst kind of folly to attempt to cure disease by ignoring its causes and employing modalities, which are in themselves causes of disease." |
| Intestinal Parasites By: Herbert M. Shelton "It is common to think that there are parasitic diseases and the textbooks list a whole catalogue of these. It is the Hygienic view that the parasites are merely incidental and adventitious elements of disease and not the cause. Wrong habits of body and mind reduce the powers of the body and make it possible for parasites to live in its cavities. Parasites of all kinds must find favorable habitats if they are to set up housekeeping. Not vaccines and serums, but our own normal means of defense protect us from all possible bacterial and parasitic inroads." |
| Death By Medicine By: Gary Null, PhD; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; Dorothy Smith, PhD. A Shocking comprehensive Expose of the medical & drug industry. The authors of this excellent article are not natural hygienists; nevertheless they are reputable professionals in their field and bring a great deal of truth and common sense to the table. "With the discovery of the germ theory medical scientists convinced the public that infectious organisms were the cause of illness. From the beginning, chemical drugs promised much more than they delivered. But far beyond not working, the drugs also caused incalculable side effects. Unfortunately allopathic medicine itself is a leading cause of death, as well as the most expensive way to die." |
| The Doctors Dilemma: Preface On Doctors By: George Bernard Shaw Shaw was a Nobel Prize winner and a genius for all seasons. In this preface to his brilliant Play he skillfully shows us with hilarious satire how it is almost impossible to obtain healthcare you can trust under a profit motivated system. He was very influential in establishing not-for-profit healthcare in Great Britain. The satire is still poignant because here in America the accusations against the medical profession have a ring of truth. "Treat the private doctor exactly as you would treat a private executioner. Treat persons who profess to be able to cure disease as you treat fortune tellers. Nothing is more dangerous than a poor doctor. It is simply unscientific to allege or believe that doctors do not perform unnecessary operations and manufacture and prolong lucrative illnesses." |

| The Selling of Disease How Doctors and Drug Companies Give The False Impression That Sex Transmits Disease From One Partner To The Other |
| The Nutrition Institute of America says that conventional medicine is “the leading cause of death” in the United States. Over 700,000 Americans die each year from government- sanctioned medicine. |
| "There is a risk of side effects every time you take a prescription drug. No one expects these medications to kill them, but they can do just that. Officials emphasize that people should not assume there's no risk in prescribed medicines. The truth is, the only way to avoid all risk, including death, from prescription drugs is to not take them at all. It is your body, not your doctor's and not your pharmacist's, so it is up to you to make the decision of what drugs to take, if any." |
