Synopsis

Bechamp Or Pasteur: A Lost Chapter In The History Of Biology is a book written by E. Douglas Hume that explores the life and work of two prominent scientists in the field of microbiology - Antoine Bechamp and Louis Pasteur. The book delves into the debate between the two scientists over the germ theory of disease and the role of microorganisms in causing illness.Hume argues that Bechamp's theory of pleomorphism, which posits that microorganisms can change form and function depending on their environment, was more accurate than Pasteur's germ theory, which suggests that specific microorganisms cause specific diseases. The book also discusses the political and social influences that may have contributed to the widespread acceptance of Pasteur's theory over Bechamp's.Through detailed research and analysis, Hume presents a compelling case for re-examining the contributions of Bechamp to the field of biology and microbiology. The book is a fascinating exploration of the history of science and the complex personalities and theories that have shaped our understanding of the world around us.This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume contains new editions of two books which have been available only sporadically in the decades since their publication. R. Pearson’s Pasteur: Plagiarist, Imposter was originally published in 1942, and is a succinct introduction to both Louis Pasteur and Antoine Béchamp, and the reasons behind the troubled relationship that they shared for their entire working lives. Whereas Pearson’s work is a valuable introduction to an often complex topic, it is Ethel Douglas Hume’s expansive and well-documented Béchamp or Pasteur? A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology which provides the main body of evidence. It covers the main points of contention between Béchamp and Pasteur in depth sufficient to satisfy any degree of scientific or historical scrutiny, and it contains, wherever possible, detailed references to the source material and supporting evidence. Virtually no claim in Ms Hume’s book is undocumented – to have access to more material, one would need to be able to read French, and go to the original source material. The reader will soon discern that neither Mr Pearson nor Ms Hume could ever be called fans of Pasteur or his ‘science’. They both declare their intentions openly; that they wish to contribute to the undoing of a massive medical and scientific fraud. The publication of this present edition of their work is undertaken in the same spirit. “Nothing is lost, nothing is created ... all is transformed. Nothing is the prey of death. All is the prey of life.” – Antoine Béchamp
