I think we all tend to believe what scientists have to tell us. After all, they are smart. They went to college. They are the brains of society, aren't they? I guess so, but the point is that even the smartest of men fall prey to corruption, and have from the beginning of time. According to John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, authors of "Trust Us, We're Experts: How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles with your Future," in the early 1990's, tobacco companies secretly paid thirteen scientists a total of $165,000 to write letters to various influential medical journals. In fact, one biostatistician received $10,000 for writing a single, eight-paragraph letter that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A cancer researcher received over $20,000 for writing four letters and an opinion piece to the Lancet, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and the Wall Street Journal. And as Stauber and Rampton's book tells us, these scientists didn't even have to write the letters themselves. Two tobacco-industry law firms were available to do the actual drafting and editing. Considering the amount of people who have died horrible untimely deaths due to tobacco, it seems unconceivable to me that the tiny sum of $10,000 or $20,000 would entice them. But you see, science is not always about the TRUTH. It is written and published by power players. Science, like the arena of sports, has become a business and the competition is equally fierce.

The science story I'd like to share with you today is how the course of twentieth century science was altered by one man's obsessive desire to build his reputation, and he did so by plagiarizing and distorting the truth and the work of another man. I speak of the highly revered and successful Louis Pasteur and his unethical relationship with one of the greatest minds of the late 19th century, Antoine Bechamp. As R.B. Pearson, author of the book "The Dream and Lie of Louis Pasteur," states, "It is a rather serious matter to attack the reputation of a famous man, one who has posed and been accepted as one of the world's greatest scientists. For many years, Pasteur has been looked upon as a founder and leader in serology; but it is always pertinent to look into the beginnings of any subject on which there is a difference of opinion, with the hope of finding the truth in the matter." And, of course, we all grew up believing that Louis Pasteur was a hero because he was the French chemist who founded modern microbiology, invented the process of pasteurization, and developed vaccines for tuberculosis, typhoid, anthrax, rabies, and chicken cholera. But little did we all know that it was his vaccines that were responsible for many of the maladies that plague us today, resulting in numerous deaths of both people and animals.

It was Pasteur's belief that germs caused disease and had to be controlled or eliminated before a cure became evident. This was known as "The Germ Theory." As you will learn, however, another portion of the science/political arena believed that germs were not actually the cause of disease, but rather are an effect, or consequence of it. Obviously, this latter belief would have never yielded the kind of revenue that conventional medicine has. An "ounce of prevention" might have great value to the wise and caring, but not to the selfish and greedy. The bottom line was that Pasteur's theory was simpler, had better economic perspectives, and was more in accordance with the old concepts of disease as being caused by demons and devils outside of us.

In my opinion, Professor Pierre Jacques Antoine Bechamp should be regarded today as one of the founders of modern medicine and biology. He was a man, although still relatively unknown, who deserves an honored place as one of the giants of modern science. As an academic icon and researcher in 19th century France, Bechamp was widely known as both a teacher and an innovator. Around 1854, while still a Professor at the School of Pharmacy in the Faculty of Science at Strasbourg, he took up the study of fermentation.

It all started with a few flasks of water, sugar and sometimes air. Known as the "Beacon Experiments," Bechamp conducted a series of experiments over a two-year period in which he was able to prove that air was needed to induce the process of fermentation. Pasteur, not quite grasping the whole concept, but always wanting to be the first to say something on a given subject, spoke out a little too quickly without doing his homework and ended up erroneously making the statement that fermentation meant just the opposite, that is to say, "life without air, or life without oxygen." This was the beginning of Pasteur missing the point and desperately trying to be right. Certainly, the idea of airborne germs was nothing new. In 1546, Geronimo Fracastorio, an Italian poet and physician, published a work in Venice containing the first statement of the true nature of contagion, infection, or disease organisms, and of the modes of transmission of infections disease. He believed that organisms which cause disease, called seminaria contagiomum, were too small to be seen, but were capable of reproducing in just the right media and become pathogenic through the action of animal heat. Unfortunately, Fracastorio did not have a microscope and was not able to determine if these substances might be individual living organisms. Basically, though, it was good 'ol Geronimo who really came up with the so-called "Germ Theory," and not Pasteur.

But the question still remained as to what caused fermentation. Was it the germs in the air, or something in the water that would react to the air? To Bechamp, it became evident that "that which is called fermentation is in reality the phenomena of nutrition, assimilation and disassimilation, and the excretion of the products disassimilated."

Today, our modern view of all germs found in nature, except those in the body, are looked upon as causing the conditions they are found with, rather than being the result of these conditions, which is their true relation to them. This relationship between bacteria and disease in man has become askewed by the plagiarizing of Louis Pasteur and his medical misconduct. Time after time, when Bechamp discovered something new, it was Pasteur who felt compelled to take the same information and change it to fit his understanding. He had no conception of the real nature of the problems at hand, yet he continued to get financial support from the powers that be because of his political associations.

Between 1855 and 1865, there was widespread epidemic among silk worms called pebrine in the south of France, which drew national attention. It was Bechamp who really discovered that the problem was do to a parasite and how to right it, yet Pasteur used his prestige as a Government representative to take formal credit for finding the answer. Consequently, Pasteur was widely recognized as the man of the hour, while Bechamp, again, was ignored. It was Pasteur's close relationship to Napoleon III that prevented anyone from opposing him, even though they knew he was lying.

Some years after this silk worm event, it was Dr. M. L. Leverson, M.D., Ph.D., MA, and American physician, who discovered some of Professor Bechamp's early writings. After putting two and two together, Leverson eventually traveled to France to meet with Bechamp with the intent of exposing Pasteur for the fraud that he really was. In a lecture, entitled 'Pasteur the Plagiarist,' at Claridges Hotel, London, on May 25, 1911, Dr. Leverson briefly outlined Bechamp's claim to priority, and added the charge that Pasteur had, on a number of occasions, deliberately faked important papers. He said in part: "Pasteur's plagiarisms of the discoveries of Bechamp, and of Bechamp's collaborators, run through the whole of Pasteur's life and work."

But, it wasn't too long before, that Pasteur lied again to gain favors with his public and monies from his government. The principals of antisepsis operations were taught by Pasteur based off what he had stolen from Bechamp's work, but unfortunately, he did not completely understand the principle upon which it was based. It was Lord Lister who took this incomplete information and began antiseptic operations, that were generally successful, but a few days later his patients succumbed to carbolic acid or mercuric poisoning. This is where the saying, 'The operation was successful, but the patient died,' came from. Eventually, Lord Lister, a skilled surgeon, had to go through many patients in order to learn the correct procedure. Had he obtained his knowledge of the principles of antisepsis from Bechamp directly, the discoverer, he would have used but a very minute dose of carbolic acid, instead of what Pasteur taught him, for Pasteur had no idea as to why the dose should be so limited. This is where a little bit of knowledge can kill you!

PART II

It was Edward Jenner, in 1798, who based an idea solely upon a dairymaid's superstition that immunity could be artificially produced to fight smallpox by deliberately introducing a small amount of the disease into a patient. The "healthy boy" whom Jenner, on May 14 1796, first vaccinated with a virus from the dairymaid Sarah Nelmes, was James Phipps, who proved Jenner's point by surviving repeated unsuccessful attempts to infect him with smallpox. Because of this, the Compulsory Vaccination Act was passed in 1853; a still more stringent act followed in 1867. And between the years 1871 and 1880, there were 57,016 smallpox deaths. People were frightened and gullible and would go along with anything to stop this disease, even though the vaccine seemed to be killing more people than the actual disease. Clinical evidence for vaccinations is based off their ability to stimulate the antibody production in the recipient. But does antibody production constitute immunity? Agamma globulin-anemic children are incapable of producing antibodies, yet they recover from infectious diseases almost as quickly as other children. In 1950 it was noted by the British Medical Council, during a diphtheria epidemic, that there was no relationship between antibody counts and disease incidence. Researchers found resistant people with extremely low antibody counts and sick people with high counts.

But nothing stopped Pasteur from taking information from others, tweaking it to fit his need to be in the scientific limelight. He once came out with the statement, "To neutralize the virulence of the bacillus anthracis (anthrax), a mixture of bacteridia and putrefaction injected into animals would protect them from infection." In 1882, while Pasteur was receiving report after report of disasters, he went to Geneva, and there, before the world, he gave a speech about "How to guard living creatures from virulent maladies by injecting them with weakened microbes." According to Dr. Robert Koch of Berlin, who in 1905 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine for his investigations and discoveries in relation to tuberculosis, Pasteur's claims for his anthrax vaccine were false, and further, Pasteur had concealed the bad results that had followed the wholesale use of the vaccines.

By this time, the Hungarian Government forbade the anthrax vaccine in its country and stated, "The worst diseases, pneumonia, catarrhal fever, etc., have exclusively struck down the animals subjected to injection. It follows from this that the Pasteur inoculation tends to accelerate the action of certain latent diseases and to hasten the mortal issue of other grave affections." In 1888, Russia inoculated 4,564 sheep and 3,696 of them immediately died. This vaccine had an 81% death rate. But Pasteur kept going, although he was compelled to compensate many owners in France for animals killed by his vaccines.

From anthrax to foot and mouth disease, the mild infection that only killed about 1 or 2%, was now going to be expanded by a new vaccine to stop it. By 1915, thousands of animals valued at thousands of dollars were killed to suppress a huge epidemic that did not exist until the foot and mouth vaccines were introduced. The same with rabies and hydrophobia in England. There were nearly 6,000 cases of dog bites treated in institutions, and of all of those cases, the only people who died were the people treated by Pasteur's vaccines.

Paul de Kruif, an American author and bacteriologist at the university of Michigan from 1912 to 1917, wrote a very powerful book called the "Microbe Hunters" in which he describes, in detail, Pasteur's demonstration of his anthrax vaccine at Pouilly-le-Fort. He claimed that Pasteur realized that he was cornered at that time and that he had to, at all costs, succeed or abandon his work on germs forever. So, in a desperate last experiment, Pasteur took 48 sheep, of which 24 were supposedly vaccinated, while the other 24 were not. Of course, on only this occasion, the 24 not inoculated died. Those who knew the real Pasteur and his trail of deceitfulness believed that he very easily could have injected the unvaccinated sheep with slow poison and he might have used pure sterile water, or a syringe with a perforated piston, in a pretended injection of the vaccinated sheep. It's amazing to me how so many didn't trust this guy, and yet, his work lived on and has become the pure basis for our science today!

The real tragedy of Pasteur's medical misconduct was brought forth in one of the most fraudulent frauds ever to be perpetrated upon the world, the inoculations on innocent children. Many physicians believed at that time that inoculation should be regarded as malpractice, but with a dollar behind every shot, the government was forcing them upon individuals by law. However, in 1903, Judge Woodward of the New York Appellate Court said in the Viemeister case: "It may be conceded that the legislature has NO constitutional right to compel any person to vaccination." But this didn't stop the doctors that were experiencing a lucrative practice as a result of biologicals. It was noted that children, after these so-called "pus squirters" were inoculating them, were dying of new forms of diseases. How could this be? Well, as the story goes, much of what was based off of Pasteur's Germ Theory is fraudulent, and that by injecting a decayed animal-pus concoction into a human being, the only course of action is for that bacterium to mutate within the body and cause a new improved disease. It is believed by many that the Spanish Flu epidemic, which has the highest death rate on record today, 25 million, was a direct result of the mutating typhoid germ in the vaccines used against typhoid and paratyphoid. According to Dr. Guerin, Richart and Bossiera, who studied a large number of cattle on a farm in 1915, "Every vaccine may produce a 'new' form of germ, which may "make the occurrence of the disease much more marked than previously."

If you think about it, we, today, do not have a flu season until the flu shot comes out. It is cultivated off last year's flu and injected into human beings where it can mutate, come out of their mouths and spread to others. Thus, we create our own flu season. Lot's of money there, folks! That's why we have so many different strains in one season. How many times have you heard that a person had flu symptoms that started in their nose and throat, then it stopped, then it came back with aches and pains, then it stopped again, then finally it returned with a vengeance attacking their lungs? All three times, it was probably the same influenza causing the problem, just different varieties being circulated via the air, only your immune system couldn't recognize it each time because it had changed its pattern.

Some 25 years ago, Dr. E. C. Rosenow, then of the Mayo clinic, published in Vol 12 of the Mayo Clinic papers, page 920, that the serum used on some guinea pigs "tended to localize in the lungs." So, this means that vaccines injected into tissues can travel to various parts of the body and cause problems. "If passage through animal tissue can cause 'marked changes in the immunological condition,' how can anyone know that passage through human tissues, for example from the arm into the body, will not do the same?" So, think about it... Today we have one new disease after another, syndromes if you will. Doctors have to call most of these problems a syndrome because they really don't know what the problem is, let alone how to treat it. But it has been deemed by many scientific researchers that lupus, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, colitis, bi-polar, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, ADD, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia and many other conditions are virally induced. Did we create all of these conditions by injecting pustule viruses into our bodies and allowing our tissues to be a breeding ground for a plethora of mutations?

According to my research, before Pasteur died, he instructed his family not to release 10,000 pages of lab notes after his death. It was only after his grandson passed on in 1975 that Pasteur's secret notes were made public. Professor Gerald Geison, a science historian from Princeton University, made a thorough study of the notes and compared them with Pasteur's publications. He presented his findings in 1993 during a congress of the American Association of the Advancement of Science in Boston. This re-evaluation made him conclude that Pasteur committed scientific misconduct. He violated the medical, ethical and scientific rules and published fraudulent data.

As Fox Mulder will tell you, "The truth is out there." And I believe that Antoine Bechamp found the truth and it was Louis Pasteur who wanted so desperately to be the recognized discoverer that the truth was buried in mounds of political hype and a quest to be the first! And further, as a result, today's medicine is based off trying to find that invisible needle in the haystack of disease that will never be found. It's an endless journey of monies pored into sickness, and over and over again, we keep looking for that perfect germ to kill to rid this planet of disease. But, that's not what causes it according to Bechamp, and maybe, just maybe, we've been doing it wrong all these years. After all, it's 1 out of 3 with cancer today and at the turn of the 19th century it was only 1%. So, when we got to the big "Fork in the Road," maybe we went in the wrong direction.

Look for my next article on how to protect yourself from all this medical misconduct.
