Pasteur Wins

Pasteur’s ideas become the foundation of organized medicine more because of politics than science. But the main driver was pharmaceutical economics.

Pasteur was decorated by the Emperor Napoleon early in his career. This blessing from on high secured his position as the preeminent scientist of his day. Despite having no credentials at all in medicine or physiology he now had a license to steal so to speak.

Scientists at the time were grappling with mankind’s first look at fundamental questions about the nature of living matter.

• What makes something alive or dead?
• Where does the life force come from?
• Why do things rot, ferment, or decompose?
• Is there something in the air, or something inside the organism that has these effects?
• What effects can man-made chemicals have?

For the first time in history, we were beginning to answer these questions. Many discoveries were being made about these fundamental questions, but in fits amnd starts.

It was a great time for an opportunist like Pasteur to take advantage of the general uncertainty and lack of understanding. He could claim that he understood all the issues involved, and that he had thought of the answers first. Pasteur played both sides of an issue he didn’t understand, and then later, he would only quote the parts of his earlier writing that supported the later finding, always claiming that he had thought of it first.

The problem was that only scientists understood the complexities of these emerging ideas. The press, governments and the royal courts only knew that something important was going on. Though they didn’t know what, they would act as though they did. A huckster like Pasteur was the perfect frontman for these powerful elites. Power and politics never change. The same process that imprisoned Galileo for writing that the earth went around the sun, the elite’s eternal attempt to control the minds of the commoners, were the processes that cast Pasteur, into a position he did not deserve–the trailblazer in the science of modern biomedicine.

Like so many other things, a discovery doesn’t catch on until the commercial aspects of that discovery have been worked out. Howard Hencke, in his 1995 book The Germ Theory: A Deliberate Aberration, notes that it was critical for the new medical industry.

“… to indoctrinate the public in the Western world with the belief that the salvation from all, especially physical ailments, lay outside the individual’s system and responsibility, because it was caused by external factors…and that chemical remedies (drugs) will keep him free from disease, independent of his own vigilant responsibility.”

This is a marketing process.

Hume writes in Pasteur or Bechamp?:

“Had it not been for the mass selling of vaccines, Pasteur’s germ theory of disease would have collapsed into obscurity.”
- E. Douglas Hume

17 years before Pasteur, Florence Nightengale, the most famous nurse in history, said this:

“Diseases are not individuals arranged in classes like cats and dogs, but conditions growing out of one another. The specific disease is the grand refuge of the weak, uncultured, unstable minds, such as now rule in the medical profession. There are no specific diseases; there are specific disease conditions.”
F.N. 1860

The Doubters

From the beginning, the notoin of piercing the skin with a needle for any reason was suspect. Even more so was injecting novel proteins and chemical into what was supposed to be the inviolable environment of the circulatory system. Injections are a complete violation of natural laws.

Normally everything is introduced into the bloodstream by going through the complexity of the digestive system or the mucous membranes. This is how nature protects the blood from external attack. There were literally hundreds of researchers opposing inoculation:

“The most serious disorders may be provoked by the injection of living organisms into the blood…into a medium not intended for them may provoke redoubtable manifestations of the gravest morbid phenomena.”
- Bechamp

Walter Hadwen, MD, in his book Microbes and War notes that the Boer war itself killed 86,000 men. With a 100% inoculation rate, there were an additional 96,000 casualties from disease alone!

Dr. Montais studied 21 cases of tetanus, each had received a Pasteurian inoculation. His conclusion, which appeared in the 23 Oct 1915 issue of the Lancet, was that in every case, the tetanus had been caused by the inoculation. Dr. Montais concluded that “Pasteur had created a new form of disease.”

Pasteur began the fashion of studying artificial disease conditions: “inducing sickness by morbid injections in human and animal subjects, instead of studying naturally diseased subjects.”

Pasteur also began the practise of vivisection and other horrific animal experiments. In the natural state, animalstypically have different diseases from humans. But even the animals bodies are different. For example most animals can produce ascorbic acid, humans cannot. When sick animals can produce up to 100x more ascorbic acid than normal.This one error has led us down a very costly and ultimately fruitless path. It seems a folly to hope to cure human disease by giving animals diseases they would never have gotten in nature, pretending such diseases are the same ones we get, then seeing which drugs cover up the animal’s symptoms. We incorrectly conclude that those same drugs will have the same effect in humans. Mistaken as that sounds, it’s pretty much how many prescription drugs have made their way to market since Pasteur’s time.

So with many major researchers eventually coming around to the above conclusions, how is it that st the start of the 21st century, organized medicine still acts as though the Germ Theory is carved in stone and all policy proceeds from this premise? And most people still believe it? The answer is out there, it’s not hidden, but it’s also not well known or much talked about. Fast forward to the 1880s and 1890s. The Industrial Revolution has created massive wealth, two figures towered over this era, wielding more power over science, industry, finance, and politics than possibly anyone else in history: Andrew Carnegie and J.D. Rockefeller.

The amount of control Carnegie and Rockefeller had over most aspects of American life is something to marvel at and appreciate, even to the present day. Much like today, change was occurring faster than the politicians could control it, and for the first time in our history, control was firmly in the private sector. Many things changed, but the rise of organized medicine has had profound effects on how everyone, doctors and patients, think about disease, treatment and being healthy itself.

Before 1880, most medicine was a mosaic of folk remedies, herbs, crude surgery and dentistry, more so than today, there was much quackery. For centuries leading up to this point, there had not been much change in the area of medicine. Superstition was as much a part of medicine as the actual remedies themselves. The use of leeches and bleeding was still common, the reason being to “let out the bad blood,’” which was in the same category with getting rid of evil spirits. Even trepanation, drilling holes in the skull, which had been around since the time of the Pharaohs, was still being performed.

In Renaissance Europe, barbers and surgeons actually were the same people, combining the services of shaving, pulling teeth and blood-letting. The origin of the red and white striped barber-pole is well-known: an enterprising barber/surgeon, having just bled a famous nobleman, proudly displayed a bloody white towel used in the procedure by wrapping it around a pole outside his establishment. In the 1700s, King Edward IV of England instituted a corporation of “barber-chirurgiens”(surgeons) who performed the above services. This lasted until 1800 when King George II separated barbers and surgeons into two separate professions.

Among their many enterprises, Carnegie and Rockefeller controlled the oil and coal industries. By 1900, they began to realize that these industries were producing mountains of waste every year. What if these chemical waste materials could somehow be turned to profit? Medicines, were the answers. But novel medicines never seen before. Medicines made from chemicals: Pharmaceuticals.
