What is disease? Why does it happen? Does it have a purpose? Can it be prevented? I could go on but I believe those are generally sufficient to pacify the mystery behind the subject. There have been many answers given to these questions and I wish to add my own and provide a complete look at this seemingly menacing phenomenon we all must deal with at one time or another throughout the length of our lives.
Origins
As we all know everything under the sun has a definite beginning as well as an end. It is upon this premise I take you back to the creation of man. When God formed man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, a new creature had entered the realm of the living and was as perfect as its creator. So perfect was the state of man that the body he possessed was not subject unto death nor was the entire world for that matter at that point. Everything was in a state of perfection and harmony. However, this continued state of perfection and harmony hinged on a single stipulation, which was the obedience to God’s word. If you are not familiar with the book of Genesis God forbid man from eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, because death would be the result. This can be found in Genesis 2:17. In Genesis chapter 3 we see that man had violated the word of God. Adam and Eve both had eaten of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Although God had substituted their physical death with that of an innocent animal the relationship of trust and harmony they had with their creator had died. This disobedience had brought man under sin and the earth under a curse. Read Genesis 3:14-19. The focus of this paper is on the physical body and the loss of its perfection and subjection to return back unto the dust it was formed due to sin. I present to you the thought that disease is an agent in assisting this degradation of the physical body back to the state it began as. An agent that came into existence due to the sin of Adam and Eve and is a natural due process of life that can be slowed, or accelerated but not stopped for reasons I will elaborate on. Before I continue I understand well that this too, is a stipulation pending upon those who are not living when the second coming of Christ takes place. I also am not saying you get a disease or sickness because of a certain sin committed, the bible speaks against this thinking. However, I am saying sickness and disease have their origin in the fact that the first man and woman sinned and since we are all born with this sinful flesh we all must contend with sickness and disease throughout our lives. My intention is to do my best to give a full perspective on this subject through the word of God and science.
Fermentation
Therefore, to fully grasp the connection of sin, disease, and death it is essential to discuss fermentation. Also on that note it would not do this subject justice without the introduction of a great man who contributed much to science during his time and now, Jean Antoine Bechamp. Don’t be alarmed if you are not very familiar with his name due to some of his contemporaries going to great lengths to make sure that his work and name would be nearly erased from history, Louis Pasteur the greatest attributor of those. He lived from 1816 – 1908 and was a Master of Pharmacy, Doctor of Science, Doctor of Medicine, Professor of Medical Chemistry and Pharmacy at Montpellier, Fellow and Professor of Physics and Toxicology — Strasbourg Higher School of Pharmacy, Professor of Chemistry at Strasbourg, Professor of Biological Chemistry and Dean of Faculty of Medicine of Lille, Chevalier of the Legion of Honour — Commander of the Rose of Brazil etc., etc (whale.to, n.d.). In the year 1854 it was determined that if cane sugar was left to dissolve in water that it would change on its own and be turned into invert sugar, because the solution which deviated the plane of polarization of the right deviated it to the left after the alteration and the inverted sugar was referred to as grape sugar and the phenomenon was then referred to as inversion (Becahmp, 1912). This process, which you may be saying okay and what does this have to do with anything spurned Bechamp onto some discoveries that would alter both physiology and biology for some time to come. In the month of May 1854 Bechamp left some solutions of pure can sugar in a closed flask with a small amount of air at normal temperature in diffused light and after the passing of many months noticed that the sugar solutions in pure distilled water were slightly inverted (Bechamp, 1912). He noticed the appearance of a mould in the solutions that did not have chloride of calcium or of chloride of zinc and that in the solutions with those added, that neither the mould nor inversion had taken place; this was submitted and published in 1855 and also caused him to do further experiments to the month of December of 1857(Bechamp, 1912). The appearance and lack of appearance of the mould in the various solutions brought him to two conclusions “The first conclusion was that: the solution of cane sugar in distilled water remains indefinitely unchanged when, having been boiled, it is preserved in an absolutely full closed vase and the second was: The same solution, whether boiled or not, left in a closed vessel in the presence of a limited volume of air permits the appearance of colorless moulds, generally myceliennated, and the solution becomes completely inverted in the course of time, while the liquor reddens litmus paper, that is to say, becomes acid. To prove that the volume of air left in the closed flask has nothing to do with the inversion it suffices to add beforehand a small quantity of creosotea or a trace of sublimate of mercury to ensure that the liquid shall not become acid, or mouldy, and that the sugar will remain unchanged,” (Bechamp, 1912).
These experiments also led to the conclusion that the presence of air was a necessary factor for the process of inversion to take place and for the moulds to exist and that the amount of air was not able to cause the inversion (Bechamp, 1912). He also documented that it was the moulds who were responsible for the inversion and that myceliennated moulds were true microscopic plants and therefore organized and living (Bechamp, 1912). According to Bechamp p. 14 – 15, 1912, “I have since demonstrated that it was indeed chiefly by means of a soluble ferment which they contain and which they secrete. And the presence of this soluble ferment, and consequently of an albuminoid matter, explained to me how, being nitrogenized, the moulds, when heated with caustic potash, set free an abundance of ammonia. But these moulds being nitrogenized could not be born of the cane sugar, which I have proven to be exempt from nitrogen. Now besides this sugar there was nothing present but distilled water, the mineral substance of the glass, and no other nitrogen than that of the air left in the closed flask; now (thanks to a little creosote or mercuric chloride) the experiment itself showed that these materials could not unite of themselves, by synthesis, to produce the substance of the moulds. Nothing then remained to explain the birth of the organized productions than the old hypothesis of germs; pretended germs, which allowed me no rest until I had discovered their origin and nature. While waiting to specify them, I admitted that under the conditions of the experiment "germs brought by the air found in the sugared solution a favorable medium for their development; a development during which the new organism, making use of the materials present, effects the synthesis of the nitrogenized and non-nitrogenized materials of its substance.”
In all of his experimentation Bechamp noted that before the appearance of the mould he noticed tiny deposits or little bodies right before the appearance of the mycelian tubes of the mould (Bechamp, 1912). These little bodies sometimes directly effected the inversions of cane sugar just as the moulds even in a creosoted solution and he therefore verified them to be both organized and living (Bechamp, 1912). He did not know how to classify these little bodies that he would later call microzyma. You will see as we continue, the greatness of this discovery in the process of fermentation, disease and death as we continue to delve into this theory and origin of disease, sickness and death and what can be done to help you keep your sanity about all the stuff you get bombarded with through the myriad of medical influences that exist. So through this Bechamp realized that this inversion process of the cane sugar from the moulds proved that the fermentation was not derived of an abluminoid matter and it was not necessary for the abluminoid matter to be present for the fermentation to take place, meaning that the presence of a protein that was insoluble or unable to dissolve in any neutral solvent to cause the creation of the ferments (Bechamp, 1912). In other words the mould makes both the albuminoid matter and the soluble ferment in the due process of its own physiological functions of development and nutrition (Bechamp, 1912). According to Bechamp p. 16, 1912, “I became assured that that which is called fermentation is, in reality, the phenomenon of nutrition assimilation, dissimulation, and excretion of the products dissimulated.” In one word this process is called, digestion.
While we continue to discuss fermentation it is imperative that we focus on the following experiments that were conducted by Bechamp: 1. According to Bechamp p. 17, 1912, “The milk of a cow was then creosoted while being drawn, by receiving it into vessels washed with boiling creosoted water divided into three portions; one of which was left with a limited volume of air present; a second was left without any, and in the third the air was expelled by a current of carbonic acid gas. To my very great surprise, the milk altered, became sour and clotted, almost as quickly as if no creosote had been added. At last, which surprised me most of all, shortly after the coagulation was completed, there was a crowd of bacteria in every part of the clot.” 2. According to Bechamp p. 17 – 18 1912, “The second relates to the chalk which chemists employed, as calcic carbonate, in their experiments even upon fermentation, and which, like them, I employed to preserve the neutrality of the media. Now, one day, some starch made of potato facula had some chalk added to it to prevent it turning sour and was left in an oven at 4 to 45 degrees C.(= 104 to 113 degrees F.). I expected to find the starch with the same consistency as before; on the contrary, it was liquefied. "The germs of the air," said I. I repeated the experiment, creosoting the boiling starch and added some of the same chalk; again liquification! Much astonished I repeated the experiment, replacing the chalk with pure artificial calcic carbonate; this time the creosoted starch was not liquified, and I preserved it in this state for ten years.” 3. According to Bechamp pg. 18, 1912, “Beer yeast inverting cane sugar as do moulds, I tried to isolate from the yeast the soluble ferment it produces, as one can readily obtain as much beer yeast as may be required. I will say here how I proceeded to isolate it directly. Brewery yeast, pure, washed and drained, was treated with powdered cane sugar in suitable quantity; the mixture of the two bodies became liquefied and the sugar was entirely dissolved, so that the product of the liquefaction being thrown upon a filter, if the operation is performed on a sufficiently large quantity, permits the flowing off of an abundant limpid liquid before any indication of fermentation is manifested. The filtered liquid, being treated with alcohol, furnishes (as does an infusion of sprouted barley to precipitate its diastase) a rather considerable white precipitate, whereof the part soluble in water is the required soluble ferment. There could be no further doubt; this soluble ferment forms part of the very substance of the content of the cellule of the yeast. I gave it the name first of zymas, and later that of zythozymas. “4. According to Bechamp pg. 18 1912, “The cellule of yeast, being a living organism, ought, being insoluble, to possess a vital resistance and should permit only such things to issue from its being as were dissimilated in it. Now, in effect, pure yeast, subjected to a methodical washing with distilled water, yields to it at first scarcely anything, only a trace of zythozymas and phosphoric acid. But there comes a time when it yields enormously, then less and less, until it has lost nearly 92% of its substance, preserving its form with its tegument distended with water. This observation suggested the making upon yeast the famous experiment of Chossat upon starving dogs. To compel the yeast to dwell in pure water would be to deprive it of nourishment; to submit it to a regimen of starvation would force it to devour itself. Pure yeast, steeped in creosoted distilled water, absolutely protected from air, disengages pure carbonic acid for a long time, producing alcohol, acetic acid, etc.; and at the same time other compounds which it does not make when nourished upon sugar. It exhausts itself thus enormously, remains whole a long time, its tegument preserving its form and, having eliminated its content almost wholly, inverts cane sugar to the end. I thus demonstrated that notwithstanding the creosote, the yeast alters of itself, as does the milk.” What Bechamp derived from these experiments was that it was innate for both the yeast and the milk to contain the living agent that caused them to spontaneously alter and the same was for the chalk liquefying the fecula starch (Bechamp, 1912). The emphasis is on the producer of the ferment pre-existing within the mould, yeast, milk and chalk as opposed to spontaneously evolving from the interaction of another medium. Also through the starving of the yeast Bechamp derived that the fermentation of the cane sugar was actually the sugar being digested by the zymas, and then the invert sugar being absorbed by the cells and the waste product being carbonic acid, alcohol, acetic acid, etc. (Bechamp, 1912). He likened this to the same digestive process that takes place every time you eat with parts of what is leftover remaining in the urine or defecated matter and came to the following conclusion “The phenomenon called fermentation is then the phenomenon of nutrition, which is being accomplished in the ferment, in the cellule of the yeast, in the same manner as the phenomenon of nutrition is accomplished in the animal, and following the same mechanism by the same means,” (Bechamp p. 20, 1912).
All of this can be wrapped up with the fact that when you eat your mouth watering slice of pizza, take a bite of a big, juicy, red apple or any other kind of food to satisfy your hunger the process of fermentation has begun as soon as you begin to chew. Bechamp so cleverly demonstrated through the experiments we have covered thus far that your cells just as that of the yeast, mould and so on take from the foods you eat that which they need and discard what is unnecessary in acidic excrement. Keep in mind that this process of fermentation, nutrition and digestion is the same for all living beings from the plant kingdom to the animal kingdom. Let me place great emphasis on this by repeating it, the process is the same, that of fermentation, nutrition and digestion for all living beings from the plant kingdom to the animal kingdom. While the proof yielded from Bechamp’s experiments contained within this paper are minimal, I encourage you to read The Blood and it’s Third Anatomical Element, which you can find an electronic copy under a link by the same name under my links on this blog. Anyhow to let the cat out of the bag the reason that the process is the same is due to those little bodies that Bechamp found right before the appearance of the moulds in the water and cane solutions of his earliest experiments. He named those little bodies microzyma if you recall and he noted how that in some cases they influenced the inversion process. These curious little bodies will be getting much attention as we continue this paper so just keep in mind the observations of what we have learned thus far about fermentation as we see what their part is in that of disease, sickness and death.
It has been known since the time of the 17th century that the saliva of the human mouth is infested with a myriad of microorganisms as vibrioniens or bacteria but in a cleanly kept mouth Bechamp found the presence of those little bodies instead, that we have been discussing, microzyma (Bechamp, 1912). He concluded that just as the microzyma aided in inverting the sugar cane in his early experiments that they may also be responsible for the breaking down of starch into maltose by a process called salivary diastase (Bechamp, 1912). I want to highlight verbally the fact that there was a great difference to what was found in the saliva of the healthy mouth in comparison of one that was not healthy. In order for him to find bacteria in one and microzyma in the other there surely must be a determining factor, right? Don’t shoot me but I am intentionally going to leave you hanging on that note and will reference that factor later on in this paper but just want you to take a moment to muse on that. Okay times up, just tuck that away but don’t forget about it, I promise we will revisit this. Bechamp and two colleagues, Estor and Camille Saint-Pierre sent a note to the Medical Academy based on this idea and according to Bechamp pg. 20, 1912, “We demonstrated two facts equally essential, viz., that the buccal microzymas of man liquefy and saccharify the starch of fecula with rare energy; that the parotidian saliva of the dog or horse can also liquify starch, but does not saccharify it, while such as has stayed upon the buccal organisms soon becomes as saccharifying as human saliva.” Based upon the response of the commissioner panel that reviewed this note it was obvious to Bechamp that they were not aware of zymas produced as function of a cellule, of vibrionien, or of a microzyma, nor even of an organ but he noted that the most indisputable proof was that it was known that the pancreas was referred to as an intestinal salivary gland (Bechamp, 1912). On that note not long after Bechamp’s experiment with Estor on buccal microzymas, those of the mouth, he demonstrated to Estor how that a piece of muscle tissue that was put in fecula starch caused it to become liquid and ferment and eventual gave way to the appearance of bacteria just as it was in the soured and clotted milk (Bechamp, 1912). The significance of this helped the two to affirm, that which was true for milk and meat was the same for all parts of the animal (Bechamp, 1912). The aforementioned sounds the same as fermentation of the plant kingdom being the same for all kingdoms as we stated before. Also keep this in mind that before the appearance of the mould in the sugared solution there were those tiny little bodies, which we understand to be the major contributors to this whole fermentation, digestion process and just so happen to not only exist in the organisms of every kingdom but also within the various organs of those organisms, as a central driving agent of one thing. That’s right you guessed it, fermentation, you are beginning to get it, but don’t pat yourself on the back just yet, because we still have a long way to go. We still have yet to tie this into sickness, disease and death and what it all has to do with the mess both Adam and Eve plunged mankind into but just stay tuned and pay attention.
Although, it was upon the premise of what Estor and Bechamp had concluded along with other works of Bechamp prior to 1870 that the entire Microzymian Theory would officially come into existence. You can say that this was the crowning event, or icing on the cake. I’m sorry if you haven’t had time to eat, and cake does sound good about now but anyhow I got a paper to write. Bechamp founded this work upon a collection of fundamental and new facts of which I will cover briefly but if you wish to know them in full please peruse the link I mentioned earlier of The Blood and it’s Third Anatomical Element. I will focus first of all on what I believe to be the most important of these which is the fact that According to Bechamp p. 21, 1912, “ Natural organic matters left in contact with a limited quantity of ordinary air, in water at a physiological temperature or absolutely protected from atmospheric germs, invariably alter and ferment.” The bottom line here is they don’t need any outside influence to cause their alteration due to the fact that it is innate of them to contain the organized living agent that is the catalyst of their spontaneous alteration. In other words it is an inside job. That inside job is the work of none other than these little bodies that we continue to discuss over and over throughout this paper and will continue to the point that you may go crazy but please stick it out, and keep your cool because it will definitely be worth your while. Anyhow in 1865 in a letter to Dumas Bechamp had dubbed these little bodies’ microzymas the following year and accredited them to be the smallest and most powerful of ferments (Bechamp, 1912). So you could actually consider them little ferments. According to Bechamp pg. 22, 1912, “My joint researches with Estor, later those of Baltus, upon the source of pus; those of J. Bechamp upon the microzymas of the same animal at its various ages and my own, especially those upon milk, upon eggs and upon the blood, have led me to consider the microzymas not only as being living ferments producers of zymases, like the moulds born in sugared water, but as belonging to a category of unsuspected living beings without analogy, whose origin is the same.”
In consideration of the above I will condense some important points made by Bechamp:
1. According to Bechamp’s research Microzymas functioned more like an anatomical element, that which is part of the anatomy that had both physiological and chemical activity in every organ and humor in a living organism in a perfect sate of health (Bechamp, 1912). This is the case in all the tissues and cells of the different anatomical systems including an anatomical element he labeled as the Microzymian molecular granulation, thus proving that the cell is not the simplest vital unit due to the fact that within it are microzyma (Bechamp, 1912). This will not be an exact comparison but it may help to think of it in similitude of the electrons and protons within an atom, the cell itself being the atom of course and the microzyma the electrons and protons.
2. Also through an experiment that when parts of an animal were taken from it that the microzyma being removed from their normal medium underwent a change that would lead to the destruction of the cells of and the setting free of the microzyma inside that could very well evolve into bacteria and would do so whenever the medium was suitable to do so. Remember the question that I posed to your earlier in reference to the determining factor between Bechamp finding microzyma in the healthy mouth and bacteria in the unhealthy mouth? Even if you don’t this second point has a lot to do with it. However, before I continue on I want you to get this verbatim in case my condensing may have drained some of the emphasis of this great point, according to Bechamp pg. 22 1912, “The experiment showed me that in parts subtracted from the living animal, the microzymas being no longer in their normal conditions of existence, produced therein chemical alterations, called fermentations, which inevitably led to tissue disorganizations, to the destruction of the cellules and to the setting free of their microzymas, which then, changing in form and function, could become vibrioniens by evolution, which they did whenever the conditions for this evolution were realized.”
Okay so back to the determining factor of vibrioniens in an unhealthy mouth and microzyma in the other, the factor is the medium in which the vibrionien which are actually microzyma evolved due to the medium being ripe for them to alter into this bacterial state. The point being as soon as the atmosphere of that healthy mouth shifts to one more comfortable for the evolution into the bacterial state the same will occur. Also on that note I will discuss in more detail what encourages the transformation or evolution of the microzyma into this bacterial state at a later point. So, if you can’t keep up with the mental notes I will do it for you, just stay tuned, stay awake, really, please splash some water in your face stand up and stretch and stay tuned.
3. According to Bechamp pg. 22, 1912, “I established that the vibrios, the bacteria which the anatomical microzymian elements had become, destroyed themselves, and that, with the aid of the oxygen of the air, under the conditions which I had realized, they were at last reduced to microzymas while the matters of the alteration, being oxidized, were transformed into water, carbonic acid, nitrogen, etc.; that is to say, restored to the mineral condition, so that of the natural organic matters and of their tissues and cellules there remained only the microzymas. And these microzymas, proceeding from the bacteria which the anatomical element microzymas had become, were identical, morphologically and functionally, with those of the chalk, of the calcareous rocks, of the alluviums, of the waters, of arable or cultivated earths, or the dusts of the streets and of the air. From these experiments I argued that the microzymas of the chalk, etc., were the microzymas of the bacteria which the anatomical element microzymas of the living beings of the geological epochs had become!” Before we continue on, I want to break down the first part of this last point for a moment: The so called bacteria which is actually an altered form of microzyma formed from the anatomical microzymas of a destroyed cell that was released into a favorable medium to undergo its evolutionary state into a bacteria in the end is reduced to its very chemical components until the only thing that remains is the original form it began as, which is a microzyma. Ponder on this fact for just a moment because I most likely won’t elaborate on it again until the conclusion, Genesis 3:19,”In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” This was part of the judgment that God pronounced upon Adam due to his disobedience. So take that and take another look at the first portion of the third point one more time that I decided to reword for those of you that appreciate it. Once again don’t shoot me but I will revisit this later.
Although in regards the third point Bechamp made the following observations: Microzyma in their function as an anatomical element in an organism that is alive and in good health they are the agents that carry out the process of nutrition (Bechamp, 1912). In the instance that they are part of matter that is taken from a live or dead animal they are the elements that cause the changes that take place whether it be the case of undergoing their bacterial evolution and assist in the destruction of the tissue and cells (Bechamp, 1912). Perhaps the greatest point yet is According to Bechamp “Whence, the microzymas being the anatomical elements of the organized being from its first lineaments in the ovule which will become the egg, I am able to assert that the microzyma is at the commencement of all organization. And the microzymas of the destroyed bacteria being also living, it follows that these microzymas are the living end of all organization. The microzymas are surely then living beings of a special category without analogue.” You really have to step back and let that one simmer for a moment and then read it again and maybe repeat the process a few more times. In plain English the microzymas are the basic building blocks of all life, I will say that again, all life. On that note the very building blocks of life itself are also physiological indispensible, they cannot be destroyed. You could therefore say that they are eternal. To those of you who embrace the word of God in its entirety, it should not come as a shock to you that the very elements that comprise all life are in fact eternal. God never intended for his creation to ever completely cease. The bible tells us in Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” In Psalm 104 1 & 5 it says, “1. Bless the Lord, O my soul very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.” In other words regardless of what apocalyptic silliness anyone purports of man annihilating himself and the planet the bible tells us that the earth shall be for eternity but of course not in the state it is now. Science never can nor ever was meant to disprove the word of God but only further upholds the validity of the creator. Before I depart from my tangent, in consideration of the inability of the microzyma being destroyed perhaps just maybe they may be part of the elements that Peter spoke of that would be destroyed in a fervent heat and if so then they too will come to an end, whether it be temporary or permanently, only God knows. Just in case you are unfamiliar with that in which I am making reference 2 Peter 3:10 says “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” Also Peter 3:12 “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”
I would like to draw your attention back to the point that Bechamp made about the microzymas being the anatomical elements of the organized being from its first lineaments in the ovule which will become the egg (Bechamp, 1912). He has already explained and proven the fact that they are the anatomical make up of the actual cell and part of every level of organization and it is this that I want to elaborate on. Consider reproduction of both a man and a woman. Microzyma being present within the cells of the sperm and the egg come together as one and thus we have the beginning phase of the conception of a new life. In every stage from the zygote to a fetus and so on until birth, it is the microzyma that are responsible for the formation of the lungs, heart, brain, eyes, ears and etc… constantly transitioning until the process reaches its climax and the organism begins to be destroyed the very same way and by the very initiators that formed it and its various parts in the first place. This process continues until only the microzymas remain as previously explained by Bechamp. Therefore the inception of death is triggered by the alteration of the medium that the microzyma abides in. I realize this may seem a little hard to swallow but according to Bechamp p. 23, 1912, “Estor and I demonstrated that in a condition of disease the microzymas which have become morbid determine in the organism special changes, dependent upon the nature of the anatomical system, which lead alike to the disorganization of the tissues, to the destruction of the cellules and to their vibrionien evolution during life. So that the microzymas, living agents of all organization, are also the agents of disease and death under the influences which nosologists specify; finally they are the agents of total destruction when the oxygen of the air intervenes. Like the indestructible atom or element in the Lavoisierian theory of matter, the microzymas, too, are physiologically imperishable.” Ultimately Bechamp concluded that fact that we refer to as germs of the air, water, ground or germs in general are really nothing more than the living remains of organisms that lived before us that have been destroyed (Bechamp, 1912). This profound statement is based on the fact that the microzyma of chalk from dust and the air were just microzyma from bacteria that became such from their evolution caused by their environment after the release of the microzyma of a destroyed cell (Bechamp, 1912). In other words, there really is no such thing as a germ, bacteria, or virus in and of itself since it only exists as such due to the alteration of the medium they preside in. Hence, the difference here is the same as it is in the presence of microzyma in a healthy mouth and bacteria in an unhealthy mouth. Once again we are faced with that determining factor which is not so much the change in microzymian environment as it is the cause or catalyst of that change. This catalyst of change is the main point I have been keeping you in waiting about and will continue to do so for now, while I continue to support the explanation for it later, so just continue, my dear reader, to hang in there. In regards to this According to Bechamp p. 24, 1912, “It is the microzyma which enables us to specify precisely wherein a tissue, a cellule is living; living per se - that is to say, autonomically, it is in truth the simple vital unit. But the conception had none the less as a consequence the assertion that, in disease, it is the elementary tissues or the cellules which are affected. Now tissue and cellular physiology being established in accordance with the prevision of Estor, it should result there from that tissue and cellular pathology are in reality microzymian pathology. In disease the cellules have been seen to change, be altered and destroyed, and these facts have been noted. But if the cellule were the vital unit living per se it would know neither destruction nor death, but only change. If then the cellule can be destroyed and die, while the microzyma can only change, it is because the microzyma is really living per se, and physiologically imperishable even in its own evolutions, for, physiologically, nothing is the prey of death; on the contrary, experience daily proves, that everything is the prey of life, that is to say, of what can be nourished and can consume. From the beginning of our researches Estor and I have established the presence of microzymas in the vaccine matter, in syphilitic pus as in ordinary pus, and I have shown in pus (even laudable) the presence of a zymas. In diseases there is then a morbid evolution of some anatomical element which corresponds to a vicious functioning and to the vibrionien evolution. It is thus that in anthrax the morbid microzymas of the blood become the bacteria of Davaine, and the blood globules experience such remarkable changes, but even as the microzymas may become morbid, they may cease to be so; for instance, there is a leading observation of Davaine upon the non-transmissibility of anthrax even by inoculation; if the animal be in process of putrefaction its blood can no longer communicate anthrax.” Lets breakdown some of the points here from above: Those of us whom are familiar with Biology will have to do a serious double take on the concept of the cell not being living in consideration of all of its organelles and all. However, it does not take much reading into the fact that if the cells and its nucleus actually are the central unit of life in helping to run our bodies everything would be in a complete state of pandemonium considering they are constantly dying off at such a rapid rate that is only accelerated upon a myriad of things such as what we eat, the stresses we endure and so on. How could something so unstable be as essential to the functionality of our complex bodies although it flies in the face of the very fundamentals of what we have been taught through the study of life? So is the concept of the microzyma which is physiologically imperishable and spontaneously alterable pending upon its medium really that hard to grasp as being the central vital element of all living organisms that also contribute to their destruction as does equally their construction from the zygote in humans to that of a man or woman and later a corpse?
According to Theodorides, 1966, “At the end of the eighteenth century Chabert had already distinguished three principal kinds: 'anthrax.fever', 'essential anthrax' and ‘symptomatic anthrax” Keep in mind that which we already understand from Bechamp that bacteria are just and evolutionary state of the microzyma due to their environment. It is because of this that the sheep and horses died of the disease known as spleen blood which is one of the forms of anthrax caused by bacteridium (Theodorides, 1966). If you have been following along attentively, Bechamp has proven to us the only actual living thing within our blood and organs is actually the microzyma since these other things are derived of microzyma. Also remember that the microzyma are the demolishing crew to reduce these things back to their mineral elements under the right condition. Therefore as Bechamp has explained in regards of anthrax and what was confirmed by Chabert, Casimir Davaine and his contemporaries during the mid 1800’s, the disease anthrax is that of a bacterium. Once again bacteria are an altered state of microzyma, therefore, if said state of the medium were to alter, anthrax would cease to be and microzyma would remain. This reverse alteration is what Bechamp is making reference to in what Casimir Davaine discovered in the fact that he was not able to take the blood of a putrefying animal corpse that died from anthrax and inject it into a living animal and the disease be communicated to the living animal. This was not possible because once the medium changed within the diseased animals’ corpse as it decomposed; the disease no longer existed due to the alteration of the morbid state of the microzyma back into that of being innocuous. You see, Casimir Davaine was a forerunner of his time in proving that bacteria were at the root of certain diseases such as anthrax and would take the blood from a live diseased animal and inject that blood into another living animal that was healthy and the disease would be communicated. However, even Davaine came to the realization how susceptible anthrax was to temperature and that at a high enough temperature, to him the anthrax was killed but what we know according to Bechamp it lost its ability to remain as anthrax and returned to its prior state. Also although we now have a better understanding of why communicable diseases are such, Robert Koch found that it was impossible to communicate the anthrax virus into the blood stream of a chicken due to their body temperature. Later on Louis Pasteur proved through the cruelest of methods by nailing chickens to a board and immersing them in cold water that he was able to communicate the anthrax virus to them (Cohn, n.d.). Koch also discovered that even in the carcass of an animal who died from anthrax the spore would still remain for a long duration and was able to be communicated into a healthy animal and become anthrax once again. If you have yet to see the correlation, I will point out that the determining factor in this case is the same as always, the fertile medium in which the microzyma are in. In the case of the chicken, under normal circumstances even through the inoculation of anthrax from an infected animal due to the medium of the chicken being unfavorable for remaining in the evolved state the microzyma devolve and are therefore harmless. Although, through Pasteur’s cruel experiments we find under the state of much anxiety, fear, and most likely trauma the medium becomes favorable for the microzyma to remain in their evolved state and thus communicate the systems of that state unto the destruction of the cells, tissue and ultimately death of the organism. So with this we come in full circle back to the factor of causation of the medium change that yields to the favorable environment of microzymian evolution. In case it is not clear, this cycle is such with all diseases, and sickness in all organisms. Cows that are forced to consume large amounts of corn as opposed to their natural diet of grass naturally develop e coli. Also e coli just so happens to be a bacterium that finds residence in the gut area. I believe with what we have learned so far within the confines of this paper we understand that it was definitely an inside job caused by changes in their gut due to their irregular diet. Are you starting to get the picture here? Bechamp’s findings are phenomenal and well proven through 50 plus years of experimentation and research, and well published. Unfortunately only one of those works is available in English. I could elaborate so much more on this subject but feel this is sufficient to at least interest you to research more into this on your own. To wrap this point up According to Bechamp pg. 24, 1912 “From this observation of Davaine I draw the conclusion that normal air never contains morbid microzymas, what used to be called germs of diseases and now microbes; maintaining in accord with the old medical aphorism that diseases are born of us and in us, that no one has ever been able to communicate a characteristic disease of the nosological class, anthrax, smallpox, typhoid fever, cholera, plague, tuberculosis, hydrophobia, syphilis, etc., by taking the germ in the air, but necessarily from a patient, at some particular moment. And within the limit of my own studies upon the silkworms I distinguished with care the parasitic diseases whereof the agent came from outside, such as the muscardine and the pebine, from constitutional diseases, such as the flacherie, which is microzymian. I give in the postscript of this work the communication which I made to the Academy of Medicine the 3rd May, 1870, upon Les Microzymas, la Pathologie et la therapeutique.”
Hopefully an underlying theme has become clear to you, that disease and sickness develop from within the blood of an organism. In this section I will cover briefly a very exhaustive work of Bechamp on fibrin and the third anatomical element of the blood. To get the full story you will have to visit the link under online books on my blog labeled The Blood and it’s Third Anatomical Element. Bechamp was able to demonstrate the true origin of fibrin and prove that it in fact was not a proximate principle as was believed by Gay-Lussac, Thenard and Chevreul but was comprised of the same substance of what Chevreul termed organic bodies (Bechamp, 1912). Another conclusion Bechamp came to was that fibrin was actually a false membrane of microzymas (Bechamp, 1912). In the following experiment according to Bechamp p. 48, 1912, “To demonstrate this, M. Estor and I employed a modification of the method which had been used to demonstrate the microzymas of the chalk and of muscle flesh. The modification consisted in preparing a starch of the fecula of potatoes, to boil it for a long time, to creosote it while boiling and to introduce into it the solid substance to be studied at the moment it was extracted from the creosoted water, into which it had been immersed to protect it from the influence of germs of the air. The experiment was as follows: Fibrin was obtained by whipping under the following conditions; at the moment of the venesection creosote was added to the blood, and at the same time it was whipped with a bundle of metallic wires which had just been washed in boiling creosoted water; then the fibrin was washed in creosoted water. Into 100 grammes of creosoted starch 15 grammes of freshly prepared humid fibrin were introduced and the flask sealed and placed in the oven heated to from 30° to 40° C. (= 86° —104° F.). The starch, exactly as happened with muscle tissue, became liquefied by degrees, and after a time the presence of bacteria in the mixture was evident; but it was observed that the liquifaction of the starch generally preceded the appearance of the bacteria.” Also according to Bechamp p. 48, 1912, “It is known that boiled milk clots, which means that the microzymas are not killed at the temperature of boiling; on the other hand, to prevent the chalk from liquifying starch I was obliged to heat it (moist) to more than 200° C. (=392° F.). The microzymas of the fibrin resist up to 100° C. (= 212° F.). The fibrin was boiled for several minutes in distilled water before it was placed in the starch. In this case the liquifaction is still further delayed and even ceases to be produced if the boiling of the fibrin is too prolonged; but the bacteria appear none the less; and these bacteria present always the same morphological characters. To complete the demonstration it should be added, and M. Estor was witness of the fact, that fibrin, exactly as was the case with the mother of vinegar (a sort of vegetable membrane of visible microzymas), and under like conditions can produce lactic and butyric fermentation, a fact which will be further considered hereafter. Such was the experiment and its complement, whence it was concluded that fibrin, like milk, like flesh, like the tissue of liver, etc., contains microzymas, since, like them, it gives birth to bacteria without the aid of germs of the air. Under the conditions of the experiment these microzymas could only have come from the blood.” I don’t feel that it hurts anything to reiterate the point that the bacteria are present without the presence of the air and develop from within the blood, milk, flesh, tissue and so on. So if we briefly revisit the occurrences of the spleen blood in the sheep and other animals the components for the anthrax to be born already pre-existed in the blood of the animal. It wasn’t necessary for them to eat some food that would scratch the tissue of their gut and infect them. The proof was in this experiment as his others that in the presence of the right factors the microzyma would evolve.
It will be on this note that we will take a brief look at the work of Dr. Gunther Enderlein and his discovery of what he called endobionts (Grace, 2001). So what do endobionts have to do with anything, in regards to what we have been discussing; besides of the use of another weird word that you have never heard of, you might be thinking? Well according to Rau, 2011 “, They act as protein-acid buffers, regulating the acid-alkaline balance (e.g. as haemoglobin buffers). These evolutionary stages of the endobiont depend on the milieu, in which they are present, on the acid-alkaline balance, and on the content of trace elements and protein. The presence of blocks inhibits the development both upwards and downwards, by which the dynamics and adaptability of the organism are diminished. In their higher valencies, the endobionts form bacteria and, in their culminant form, fungi (e.g. Mucor racemosus, or maybe Aspergillus niger). Aspergillus is considered to be a later acquisition, and in the course of its evolution, it shows different bacteria, such as the tubercle bacillus, for instance. According to Prof. Enderlein, the Aspergillus cycle, i.e. its various evolutionary stages, is also responsible for the diseases, which the biological physician would classify as paratubercular illnesses“, or belonging to the Tuberculinum type. These are predominantly illnesses of the connective tissue and structural organs, and also those of the lymphocytic system.” If the above sounds anything similar to what we have learned about Bechamp and his microzymas, it is. Gunther Enderlein in a sense picked up on Bechamp’s research and in my opinion took it to the next level. He spent over forty years dedicated the study of these endobionts, just 17 years shy of the research and experimentation Bechamp did on his study of the microzyma. However, as not to confuse you we are still talking about the same tiny granulations Bechamp discovered but under the guise of a different name. Perhaps the greatest significance of Enderlein’s work was his discovery of the cyclogeny of the endobionts. According to Schenider, 2001, “According to Enderlein, the endobiont goes through three fundamental development phases: colloid - bacterium - fungus which, up to now, was regarded as independent, unchangeable organisms. Prof. Enderlein demonstrated this development process and said that all these stages together form a single common cycle which originates from the completely identical, unstructured, colloidal and motionless protein material contained in the respective cells. These protein particles of the primitive stages are in the size range of bacteriophages and viruses (approx. 0.01 ìm). Under certain conditions this mass can release forms that had developed in a disease-generating environment and continue circulating in the cycle. They replicate and form an endless number of different shapes and forms. They increase in size and finally develop into bacteria when the surrounding milieu changes.”
Just in case it is still not clear, within the blood and tissue of every living organism exist the component for their construction and destruction. At this point it matters not if we regard them as microzyma, tiny granulations, or endobionts, they are the precursor of the things we refer to as bacteria, viruses and fungus. Therefore, the question should be one of what? Yes, I along with both Bechamp and Enderlein am saying that in actuality there does not exist in the understanding you have been brought up with a bacteria, virus or fungus but in actuality it is a specific adaptive form of the microzyma or endobiont to match its milieu, medium or environment. Now, with that said it is commonly known that the blood of a human must remain at a pH (potential of hydrogen) somewhere between 7.35 – 7.45 or so in order to be in an optimal state of health. While this knowledge is known the real understanding of why is not. The pH balance is one of the key triggers to set the cyclogeny of the endobionts into motion on their path of becoming pathogenic in the forms of bacteria, viruses and fungus that will wreak havoc on the rest of the body. Although this is not being done to necessarily destroy as if they are just attacking but more so carrying out their programmed duty which is trigged by their milieu. I’m sure this sounds strange and yes I am saying that bacteria, fungus, and viruses are not an actual threat to you or an enemy but are a programmed response to carry out a specific task due to its initiation based on the environment they happen to be in. So take some time to absorb this and I will expound upon it latter. What I refer to as a trigger Enderlein referred to as a block, in regards to the fact that as long as the environment remained desirable the microzyma or endobiont would not devolve or degrade back into a nonpathogenic state. The point is the factor of causation has yet to be removed. The emphasis here is on the acid to alkaline balance of the blood. This is one of the greatest contributing factors to set you as an individual on the course for sickness, disease, and ultimately death.
Therefore, it is on that note that I will give you some, so what. What I mean by the so what is some practical application to make use of the information above in a way that you can help alleviate some of your daily ailments. Before I do so, let’s look at some factors of causation that contribute to the evolution of the microzyma or endobionts into bacteria, virus and fungus. In regards to the human being the following are major factors of causation, causation of the change of the milieu or medium of the microzyma or endobiont, According to Rau, 2011, “
- Heavy metals: Hg / Pb / Pd / Al (most frequent source: dental fillings and dental replacement materials containing Mercury or Palladium). The highly toxic heavy metals are absorbed into the body, where they have long-term effects and impede a large number of important chemical metabolic reactions. They act as antagonists to important trace elements such as Zinc, Selenium or Manganese.
- Dead teeth and bacterial osteitic foci of infection in the jaw: every tooth that has had root canal treatment is a dead tooth and despatches highly toxic ptomaine poisons to the mesenchym and the lymph. As well as this, every root canal-treated tooth is a hotbed of bacteria, and these bacteria have a blocking influence on the immune system, but also on the associated meridians and their organs.
- Intestinal Dysbiosis (= deficient population of the intestinal flora). The bacteria in our intestines are our main detoxifiers, as well as protecting us against other pathogenic bacteria. If normal bacteria are missing, then pathogenic bacteria and fungi occur, and these release toxins. Causes: Poor nutrition / endobiontic stress / food allergies.
- Trace element deficiencies: Selenium, Zinc, Manganese, Magnesium, Chromium, etc. Causes: Poor diet / atrophy of the intestinal mucosa Trace elements have a biochemical and catalytic mode of action; therefore they need to be given in low potencies and in orthomolecular dosage.
- Fatty acid deficiencies / damage to cell membranes: Omega-3-/-6-fatty acids The unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 + -6 are extremely important components of cell membranes, protecting us from free radicals. Omega-3 (fish oil) is often missing / oxidative stress.
- Excessive levels of acid and protein: Nutrition / stress / mineral deficiency / alkaline treatments
- Ongoing emotional stress
8. Effects of chemicals such as antiphlogistics, steroids, food preservatives, etc."
So there you have it, from the mental to the physical to the environmental to the diet the factors of cause of the change in your blood pH. Really the greatest thing affected the most is the pH of your blood which in turn has the greatest impact on the evolution of the microzyma or endobiont. I continue to hammer away at this because this is more so the heart of the matter that you should look into addressing to alleviate your painful and sickly state. One of the easiest ways of doing so is ensuring that you are drinking plenty of water but also that it is alkalinized, mineralized and ionized. In other words your water needs to be alkaline, full of minerals and have a charge to it so that more of it is absorbed into your blood to neutralize the acidic state you may find yourself in. It would also be a good thing to add fresh lemon or at least some organic lemon juice to your water since Lemon once ingested is very high alkaline. Let me stop for a moment and mention that that first step is to test your body pH of either or both your saliva and urine so you know where you stand. After this is done then start with the previous step I mentioned. Just consider this section a commercial interruption and a parting gift to my dear readers for hanging in there with me before I conclude this paper. The next things I will say don’t have a necessary order they should be done in depending on how severe of a state your pH is in. In a serious state you should do everything I am mentioning in tandem until you are free of your condition or just stick with it permanently. Detoxification is a most important part of this and part of that is taken care of through introducing a good amount of alkaline, ionized, mineralized water into your system on a daily basis. However, some other ways of doing so are by introducing foods such as, chlorella into your daily diet. Chlorella is a very powerful detoxifier and mineralizer and is full of all the vitamins, minerals, phytonutirents and so on your body needs to stay healthy, on top of the fact that it is very alkaline, is another plus. Other foods that will help with detoxification and are packed full of nutrients are chia seed, spirulina, and grapefruit. Aside from adding foods such as chlorella into the diet there are non dietary forms of detoxifying the body such as colon irrigation and enemas that can be done periodically There are also potent clays that can be ingested such as bentonite clay that act as a powerful detoxifier. If you are adding other things you know as I go along that is fine this is not meant to be an exhaustive list but just enough to give you an idea on what you can do to offset the microzymian evolution and cause them to devolve. Another more expensive yet beneficial method if you can afford it is removing the mercury, amalgam fillings for those of you that have them but if not you just do your best to offset the toxification through dietary and no dietary means. In general consume more alkaline foods and less acidic foods. An easy way to do such is to incorporate more green foods into your diet but make it organic or the least chemically laden as possible. Reduce the amounts of sugared foods and meats that you consume on a daily basis. Just put your old friend Google to use and you will find a myriad of food pH charts that will aide you in keeping up that balancing act. The last but by no means the least is keeping your stress levels in check, I know, easier said than done but just keep in mind everything that takes place within us is expressed in a biochemical, electrical response. If you haven’t yet do some web surfing just on the impacts of stress on your health and mix that in with what has been discussed in this paper and the big picture will become even clearer. You also have the oxidative stress in the form of reactive oxygen species to contend with that can only be kept in check with a good influx of antioxidants through a healthy diet. Just to summarize everything, it starts with your diet and mental state. You don’t always have control over your environment and all the toxins you are bombarded with but they can be countered through your diet. In consideration of your diet, just do your best to consume the least amount of chemically laden, genetically altered, sugar ridden, processed foods as possible. I do realize this is a very tall order if you live in the fast paced society of America and that is the easiest and cheapest nutrition available to get your hands on but keep in consideration what it is doing to you and those you love and you decide for yourself the true opportunity cost. I know I could have said so much more but I hope and believe it is enough to get you doing some more digging on your own to verify what I am saying and rid yourself of your maladies. At least you can draw a line through one of those mental notes seeing as we have covered the factors of causation that determine the factor of the state of the blood pH and lead to the onset of the bacterial, viral, and fungal forms of the microzyma or endobionts.
However, we are still left with those questions we started with in the introduction and the other points that I have put off until now. What is disease? Why does it happen? Does it have a purpose? Can it be prevented? These were the few that we proposed and I believe from the extensive work of both Bechamp and Enderlein that has been shared we have the answers. I will answer the first three questions in one sentence. Disease/Sickness is a natural process that is triggered by the change of the internal state of an organism to carry out a specific purpose, which in a prolonged state of change leads to the complete destruction of the organism unto its base mineral components. The answer to the last question is no, disease cannot be prevented but it can be delayed. Why would I say such a thing? I say so due to the fact that it is a natural process of progression that was set into motion the moment that Adam and Eve violated the command of God. Remember God said shall return to dust not maybe, it was a command and it can’t be overruled. Therefore, disease exists as an agent of sin to help carry out the command of God and it is for this reason the smallest component of life, the microzyma is both the agent of construction and that of destruction. Remember when the egg and sperm come together and share their internal microzyma and that zygote develops, each organ is developing from a microzyma but it is also those very microzyma when the milieu is ripe that are activated to become the agents of destruction of that man, woman or child to reduce the complex organism back into the very components that God created it from in the beginning. It is for this reason that all disease and sickness have their origin in the original sin of both Adam and Eve and subsequently the entire earth came under a curse. Prior to their disobedience we can clearly assume that no death had taken place on the earth between animal and animal or man and animal hence it was God himself who killed the first animal not man. Once again, you don’t get sick or get a disease because you have committed a sin but sickness and disease have their origin in the sin of man and until this physical body is glorified by Jesus Christ as the born again believers faithfully obey his word until he comes to receive them again, their body will be susceptible to the things that are common to it such as its lusts. I am not disannulling the power of the blood of Jesus over the ailments of our bodies by the stripes he received for our physical ailments but am stating a valid fact of why both believer and unbeliever are susceptible to sickness and disease. It has everything to do with what is going on inside of us and not outside of us and for the most part we have more control of what disease we get or don’t get than we think based on the content that has been shared in this paper. According to Bechamp p. 148, 1912 “The living being, filled with microzymas, carries in itself the elements essential for life, disease, death and destruction. And that this variety in results may not too much surprise us, the processes are the same. Our cellules, it is a matter of constant observation, are being continually destroyed by means of a fermentation very analogous to that which follows death. Penetrating into the heart of these phenomena we might really say, were it not for the offensiveness of the expression, that we are constantly rotting!”
It is on this premise that it really doesn’t matter how much you vaccinate or get injected with antibiotics or if you take dose after dose of medication, because the real enemy here is not the bacteria, fungus, and virus but what you are exposing them to through your diet and other means. You can not destroy them but only alter them. Also it does not matter how strongly you cling to your vegan, raw food, vegetarian, etc… type diet along with supplementing yourself to death especially with anti aging and natural HGH type stimulating pills, from dust you came and to dust you shall, not maybe, but shall return. You can’t stop it, but only slow it down, because it is an instinctive nature of the body to prepare the way for the change of the milieu of the microzyma or endobiont to fulfill this command. Regardless of how long you live and you die by natural causes, the agents of that death will always be the microzyma or endobionts, because they are simply following their orders. However, keep in mind while your soul separates from your body they will remain as a testament to the truthfulness of the word of God, seeing as they can’t be destroyed. So why am I saying this? The reason is, all that really matters in the end, is what you did with the gift God has given you. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believest in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” You see in the end though, you may be healthy, halt, maimed, sickly or diseased, none of these things will disqualify you from entering into heaven except the fact of whether you are lacking the blood of Jesus backed by a life of faithfulness and obedience to his word. Thank you once again for stopping by and hearing what the Average Guy has to say.
