Editorial Reviews

Review

"The author, a noted nutritionist, shows how an upset body chemistry initiates the many detrimental changes that lead to degenerative disease. [Appleton's] scrutiny of Pasteur's work confirms the wrong road down which medicine has traveled in the past century."
—Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients

This review is from: Rethinking Pasteur's Germ Theory: How to Maintain Your Optimal Health (Paperback)

This review is lengthy because the subject matter of the book is so foreign to the way we have all been raised, namely that germs cause all illness and that Louis Pasteur was the wonderful Father of Modern Medicine. Both are dead wrong!

Appleton takes a very complex and convoluted subject and breaks it down into easy to understand segments, going back into history to uncover the real truth about the foundation of our current medical practices. She very astutely writes about why modern medicine is having so much trouble helping people get and stay healthy. . . Mostly because they focus on Louis Pasteur's monomorphic germ theory and not on the ever changing condition and balance of the inner terrain of the person's body.

Her masterful and detailed detective work uncovers the truths about the real genius (and Pasteur's nemesis), Professor Antoine Bechamp, who did the majority of the true scientific work, which Pasteur either stole, plagiarized or touted as his own. It's Bechamp's pleomorphic microzymas, not Pasteur's germs, that aide or abet health.

She also uncovers the historical truth about such scientific giants as Claude Bernard, Royal Rife, Walter Cannon, and Gaston Naessens, all of whom the AMA tried to discredit or shut down because their findings did not agree with the AMA's.

After delineating why Pasteur's germ theory is all wrong, she proceeds to address the issues of body chemistry, homeostasis, and present her own programs for getting and maintaining health.

She organizes all foods, herbs, and drugs into five categories, which she melds into her three Food Plans, making recommendations to the reader on which Plan to utilize, based on their symptoms, to regain their body's homeostasis. She touches on all arenas- mind-body; diet; environment and makes any plan a person chooses easy to develop and implement.

Since I was writing a 45 page research paper on the Lie of Louis Pasteur, I was delighted to purchase and read Appleton's book. She not only concurred with all of the information I was uncovering, but also helped me discover even more.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who is searching for the truth about the deception our medical-pharma-insurance complex is trying to keep from us. It is an eye-opening adventure in reading! Bravo! Thank you, Nancy Appleton for writing this book!

Lots of juicy information. Pasteur was such a politician! Unfortunately the information he erroneously and dishonestly "proved", the same information conventional medicine is pushing down our throats - is creating weakness, disease, disability and early death in many of us and our children. We have been totally mislead and lied to.
