Whereas most Americans probably have heard of Louis Pasteur (1822–1895), it is doubtful that many are familiar with the name and work of Antoine Béchamp (1816–1908). The two nineteenth-century researchers were scientific contemporaries, compatriots and fellow members of the French Academy of Science, but key differences in their views on biology and disease pathology led to a prolonged rivalry both within and outside of the Academy.

Béchamp was the more brilliant thinker, but Pasteur had political connections, including Emperor Napoleon III. Reportedly not above “plagiarising and distorting Béchamp’s research,” Pasteur achieved fame and fortune largely because his views “were in tune with the science and the politics of his day.” Meanwhile, mainstream medical historians relegated Béchamp’s ideas – not as attractive to conventional thinkers – to the intellectual dustbin.

What Junk Food, Vaccines/Shots, and Drugs have done to Our Children
A national study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2010, zeroed in on the deterioration in children’s health over time. From 1988 to 2006, there was a doubling of the prevalence of four types of chronic conditions (obesity, asthma, behavior/learning problems and “other” physical conditions), which rose from 12.8% to 26.6% of American children and youth.

Mounting evidence indicates environmental toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides as the principal culprits, while studies link vaccines and toxic vaccine ingredients to a wide range of adverse health outcomes, including seizures, neurodevelopmental disorders and infant death. As the medical, public health, and government circles remain silent on the social and economic fallout from these toxic exposures, American children have never been so sick… (Continue to full article)

Tuberculosis makes a comeback in the US with children most at risk
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that 2.5 over every 100,000 Americans contracted the bacterial infection in 2022. This is up from 2.4 per 100,000 in 2021, but still below the pre-pandemic rate of 2.7.

Experts warned that case declines during the pandemic were not because of fewer infections but because of illness going unrecorded during a time many avoided testing.

Now that those anti-Covid mitigation measures have largely been consigned to history, rates of severe bacterial infection are on the rise, particularly in children four and younger… (Continue to full article)
