Germ Theory Versus Terrain: The Wrong Side Won the Day

This short article from the Weston A. Price Foundation provides an excellent, short historic overview of how we got into this mess. (41 References provided)

Excerpts:

Has the Germ Theory Model served society? No.

“Two decades into the twenty-first century, dismal national and international health statistics utterly belie the hype about medical advances. In the U.S., for example, over half of all children have one or more chronic conditions, as does a comparable proportion of millennials and up to 62 percent of Medicaid-population adults. Most health care dollars spent in the U.S. (86 percent) are for patients with at least one chronic condition. Similar trends are on the rise around the world.” (4 References provided)

Has the Germ Theory Model created new problems? Yes. 

…dangerous superbugs are emerging—largely due to overuse of “anti-everything” drugs such as antibiotics and antifungals—and are ushering in a potential return “to a world in which infectious diseases drastically shorten lives.”Some have estimated that drug-resistant pathogens will become a bigger killer than cancer by 2050.

“Although the conventional pharmacopeia that created the superbug problem has thus far been helpless to address it, experts are unwilling to step out of the lucrative Pasteurian mindset. Thus, leading researchers at Harvard, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital suggest that the solution to superbugs is. . .more antibiotics, plus vaccines!” (3 References provided)

What are the “Inconvenient Facts” about the Germ Theory?

…vaccines are far from predictable or beneficial. 

“Children who receive pertussis-containing vaccines are more susceptible to pertussis “throughout their lifetimes”; five years after completing a pertussis vaccine series, a child will be up to fifteen times more likely to acquire pertussis than in the first year after receiving the vaccine series.”

“Flu shots make people more susceptible to other severe respiratory viruses. 

“[Re HPV vaccine]…women with evidence of current or prior exposure to HPV had a 44 percent increased risk of developing cervical lesions or cancer after receiving the vaccine. (5 References provided)

What is the state of our society’s health today?

Our weakening and degeneration is now occurring on a massive scale.

[As a result we have] a medicalized society that must devote huge resources to dealing with sick people. As the amount of medicine in our world increases, so, too, does the amount of sickness. The [unnecessary] use of more medicine not only undermines an individual’s freedom and autonomy, but also degrades society’s health.
