The Myth of Coronavirus Contagion
Guest: Sally Fallon Morell, Fonunding President of the Weston A Price Foundation and Co-author of The Contagion Myth
The signs say, “Science is real.” No doubt Napoleon the Pig would follow that up with, “But some science is more real than others!”
For a jolt, consider the science of electricity: In the 1880s, two scientists fought a “war of currents” over whose electrical science would prevail. Thomas Edison advocated for the Direct Current, while Nikolai Tesla held forth for the Alternating Current. Though Edison became rich and famous as the founder of the General Electric Company, and Tesla died alone and destitute, it was Tesla’s science that paved the way for modern power and communication systems!
And while Edison and Tesla contended over the science of electricity in America, Louis Pasteur and Antoine Bechamp fought it out over the science of disease in France.
Pasteur, of course, achieved fame and fortune as the father of the germ theory of disease, the science of which held that diseases were caused by germs. Bechamp’s science, on the other hand, maintained that diseases were caused by a breakdown in the body’s innate defenses.
Pasteur’s science said disease could be cured, if not prevented, by killing the germs. Pasteur’s science became the economic foundation of modern medicine, with all of its drugs and vaccines.
Bechamp’s science, which advocated for the social responsibility of healthy living, made no one rich, and so he, and his science, were relegated to the dustbin of history.
And today in the here and now, along comes the Made-In-China novel coronavirus, with its attendant promises of new drugs and vaccines. And so, we wonder –Whose science of disease is most real: Louis Pasteur’s or Antoine Bechamp’s?
Leave a comment below: Which do you think causes us to become diseased: the bug or the body?

Of course does a healthy immune system (Bechamp)tries to protect the bodies health. But here is no denial that w/ a novel vector like the Corona it can be overwhelmed, specially in the more vulnerable. Environmental distress factors under which we are all living, weakens our immune system of defenses. The increased assault of disease vectors today due to overpopulation, eating bush meat, overcrowded markets with life common and exotic animals (in CHina which is the main incubator of Animal to Human transfer of vectors) travel an unhealthy industrial food contribute to that. So the Pasteur findings of killing the vector is the predominant one , but we also should make efforts to change our way of living and strengthen our immune system. SO it is a one-two approach: remove env factors, so that our Immune is strengthened, and prophilactly when available, vaccinate the entire population. During outbreaks use all the weight and power of allopathic medicine to curb the vector in the population. Not doing anything and referring that as “Herd Immunity” in Human populations is a dangerous and criminal act.
In review this is a one-two approach: first and allways use the “Soft” approach of strengthening the Immune system, then during outbreaks, use the sledge hammer “Hard” approach of modern medicine
