5.0 out of 5 stars Slaughter of the innocents, July 29, 2001

By	EDWARD DARMOHRAY (fort myers, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

Nancy Appleton shows us that Pasteur's discovery of infectious diseases has been both a blessing and a curse for all of us. Its been a blessing because it led to the discovery of the antibiotics, which have helped cure many of our infectious diseases. Its been a curse because the success of researchers in finding antibiotics that cure infectious diseases has given the entire medical profession a one-track mind. Researchers now assume that, because they found drugs that kill microbes, they can find other drugs that will "kill" metabolic diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, kidney failure, etc. They're looking for what Paul Ehrlich called "magic bullets." But they won't find any "magic bullets" for these degenerative diseases, because there's nothing to kill. These diseases all have complex cause-and-effect chains that disrupt our body chemistry. Unless we eliminate what were doing to cause these disruptions, we cant prevent these diseases. So what can we do about metabolic disorders? Weston A. Price and Denis Burkitt, among others, found the answer to this question. Their studies showed first, that Third World peoples are almost entirely immune to our degenerative diseases and second, that when those peoples switch from their traditional natural foods to our factory-produced junk food, they come down with all the metabolic diseases that are rampant in our society. This means that our hospitals are full of people who could have avoided their agonizing and often fatal ailments if only they had stayed with the natural foods of our ancestors. But the knowledge that would have saved these patients has been ignored by our medical researchers who are futilely chasing the will o the wisp of magic-bullet cures that dont exist. The resulting "slaughter of the innocents" is one of the many tragic results of the curse of Louis Pasteur.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!, March 14, 2000

By	Chris Barr - See all my reviews

Discovering this book was a great delight for me! It provides a good beginning for enlightenment beyond the confines of modern medicine. Its data is both informative and practical. Appleton has taken extremely complex subject matter and made it simple enough for any to understand. I have studied extensively for over 20 years ALL of the material covered by this book. There are no lies within its covers. Consequences today from Pasteur's devious behavior and efforts in the previous century make Adolf Hitler look like a Cub Scout by comparison! The two previous reviews should be stricken because they are absolute lies put forth from one(s) hypnotized by the mysticism within fallacious medical dogma. Read `The Private Science of Louis Pasteur' by Gerald L. Geison published by Princeton University Press. It was the winner of the 1996 William H. Welch Medal sponsored by the American Association for the History of Medicine and was one of Choice's Outstanding Academic Books of 1995. It provides exacting detail from Pasteur's own writings of what an abominable person he was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Medicine Is Not Curing a Diseased World, September 12, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews

After finding out that infectious diseases and degenerative diseases are increasing per 100,000 people in the United States as well as the rest of the world, I questioned what causes disease in the first place. A great deal of research led me to one conclusion: that Louis Pasteur's germ theory has overpowered other ideas about the origins and development of disease. My research led me to the concept that we, with our 20th-century lifestyle, create our own illnesses. My research also led me to write The Curse of Louis Pasteur (TCLP). TCLP documents how Pasteur's germ theory overcame far sounder theories to become the medical paradigm of modern times. TCLP demonstrates why the germ theory is not workable. TCLP reveals a much simpler, and I believe much truer, theory as to what causes disease. TCLP ends with self-help techniques that can help stop the cause of disease, and consequently heal the body and prevent future sickness. Nanc;y Appleton, Ph.D.
