It makes perfect sense. TCM and a holistic approach are so very different when compared with modern medicine. Personally, whenever possible, I prefer the first. Being handicapped I used to get up and go to bed with pain, having to use 4 painkillers a day (the relatively mild ones, not the ones advised by my consultant). My wonderful friend @Tesstamona introduced me to Kundalini yoga where I found a kriya ‘Overcoming pain’. With just 17 minutes a day I can control pain 24/7 to the extent that I haven’t taken any painkiller for some time. Any pain eases and disappears during the exercise.
I completely agree! I read recently that yoga aligns and sort of tones the acupuncture meridians. That makes so much sense. It gives the benefits of acupuncture without needles. Pain management is such an important area to focus on and come up with non-drug ways of dealing with it. If the core issues are addressed, the pain will go away.
Very interesting article. Medicine and science today are guided and motivated by financial incentives. You can not get around that fact. Research can't exist without funding. Out of mainstream ideas are not funded. Doctors are trained and indoctrinated in medical school and afterwards to the "standard of care". Doctors who deviate from the standard of care, regardless of the outcome, risk their financial security. Period. I've seen it first hand. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
A deeper look into Bechamp's discoveries would show that he, in fact, went beyond Bernard's work while at the same time acknowledging Bernard's contributions at the time; Bechamp was the consummate medical scientist of that epoch equalled only by the remarkable insight of Florence Nightingale whose unique vision went far beyond the revolutionizing of nursing care; Pasteur was a charlatan and deliberately supported and used by the French state at the time for political and economic reasons and to bolster a failing nationalism and renewed status before the world; the tragic result bequeathed to humanity the lies and deception of unproven science and the death of the scientific method for at least the past 150 years, including the medical tyranny of the allopathic model which was deliberately designed to keep us sick and shorten lifespans.
What an amazing article! I am preparing a talk for the American College of Rheumatology (Oct 2025, Chicago, IL) and my task is to present the "alternative" to drug (chemical) medicine. One aspect that I will be talking on - and this is so new in immune diseases - is this knowledge that we are not just water, but a special kind of water. Plasma which literally has constituents like ocean water. Another way to look at it is that we are Hydro-electric machines. Hydro - water; Electric - electrolytes. Most people think that low-salt or no salt diets are "good." They are literally suffering but are afraid to eat minerals. It takes time, lots of patience to turn the upside down thinking. And it's even harder with physicians. We just don't have this kind of medical education. This is why I love Unbekoming. Right on!
I liked your article a lot. The same analogy about war and gardening applies in human affairs as well. There is a whole lot of war going on right now. I wonder if the pendulum is getting ready to swing back towards gardening. I hope so.
I am in the business of understanding fundamental poisoning. I listen to thousands of people who have mercury and other metals gumming up the systems in their body. One thing my colleagues and I know for sure, is that the same poison will produce different symptoms in different people and that remedies to mitigate symptoms while people are following our detox method, will also behave differently depending on who you are. Most of the time we tell people to try things carefully and note what happens. Most of the time, symptoms will resolve once you get the poison out and the body gets a chance to rebalance.
It is also important not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Modern medicine has plenty of good stuff. We prefer supplements because the body is used to seeing them, but sometimes you need what the MDs have in their tool box, I would be dead now if it weren't for modern medicine.
Yes and Yes! I believe the pendulum has started to swing back the other way. People are taking stock of their lives and what really matters. They/we are moving back/forward to family, close relationships, realtime activities in person, gardening, working with the hands. Old-fashioned values and activities!
As for the poisoning part, I believe most illnesses, especially neurodegenerative conditions are caused by poisons. There are so many poisons to choose from.... The challenge is to get the poisons out, as you are doing.
Yes about the toolbox. There seems to be a movement to avoid all drugs, medicines, and supplements. There are some drugs that are lifesaving and some beneficial supplements that improve the quality of life. We've just had a baby in the family saved by modern medicine. He would otherwise have died. Now, we can implement some remedies to detox him from the drugs and procedures that saved his life. We can figure what to do to address the core issues of why the baby got sick in the first place. (Not vax related, unless it was shedding.)
Thank you. He is still in the hospital... 3 weeks going on 4 weeks. His situation has been difficult to stabilize. He is in much pain. Not quite 6 months old. There is much to figure out in his case.
I wonder what healthcare would be like if medicine had followed the Antoine Béchamp/Claude Bernard line. It wouldn't be this genocidal allopathic rockefeller-rothchild quackery.
It is impossible to find a doctor who combines a holistic approach with the advanced diagnostic and mechanical apparatus of "modern" medicine.
It could be said that Pasteur's model , which is said he disavowed on his death bed, has been responsible for the premature deaths of billions since Rockafella's initiation of the germ theory, western medicine model. In an inverted world it has been the inversion of health care.
Yes, but not new at all but a deliberately buried side of our medical past that the status-quo wants permanently hidden to enable the massive fraud to continue indefinitely because it's about power, control and MONEY!
Yes, rivals will do that, then time takes care of the rest. It’s the downside of competition. The idea fixe, the notion of one right answer is another problem, a cultural blinder. We primates are always fascinated by shinny new tools, playing with them until they break or they damage things or us, pushing them and ourselves till we find a limit. This is the root of idea fixe behavior. After close to 200 years we have finally reached the limits of germ theory. It’s finally time to explore other tools.
All three of the men in this essay discovered and offered intellectual tools to medicine. But society, finance and government coalesced and got behind only one. We have to start teaching tool kit metaphors, instead of finding THE solution so we don’t lose tools like this anymore.
Thank you for writing about Claude Bernard, he made very important contributions, which are hopelessly lost in a modern medicine dominated by profit at the expense of health.
No serious scientists or medical doctors dispute the critical rôles of both the terrain and certain pathogenic microbes in health and disease.
Prioritizing the terrain is the sensible approach from a public health perspective, but ignoring the pathogen is short-sighted, even a very healthy human would have a very tough time with say the Ebola virus.
So for me the dispute between the partisans of exclusively Pasteur or Beschamp completely misses the point:
Yes, Pasteur's ethics are particularly dubious, there was some fraud, but that specific germs can cause disease in some individuals is nevertheless correct.
Likewise, Bechamp's microzymas is a mistaken concept that nobody can support experimentally today and it makes absolutely no sense with our current understanding of biology; nevertheless, his insistence on the importance of the terrain was and is completely justified.
The issue in medicine is to cure it of the influence of money. Ironically, we have again the issue of the terrain, a society ruled by money above anything else, and the contaminating germs, in the form of all the corrupted health institutions covering up for Big Pharma.
The terrain approach would be the most successful, but is the most difficult because the powers-that-be are not about to relinquish their powers without a fight, and they are indeed very powerful.
The germ approach would be less efficient, but it has a bigger chance of success in the short term and could open the way for an in depth-reform of the terrain in which society evolves.
Big Pharma is on the verge of losing its most powerful tool, vaccines, in keeping us unhealthy and therefore life-long customers: vaccines are being exposed for the toxic killers they are and they won't be able to ever regain the trust of the population. Rejoice!
You are WRONG in your views about both Bechamp and Pasteur! Bechamp proved with meticulous experimentation over many years that microzymas do exist and are at the source of ALL life; the historical documentation exists, especially from the records of Bechamp's own work, much of which has been corroborated by modern microscopy, immunology and genetics; by contrast what has been revealed from the latest in Pasteur's lab notes and diaries(previously hidden) was the falsification of Pasteur's own experiments which show repeated patterns of plagiarism and deliberate falsification of scientific claims for the designed purpose of both individual and national fame and fortune; Pasteur was the Fauci of his day who set the stage for all future "vaccine" development for the purpose of control and profit and not human health; "germ theory" was actually proven wrong in Pasteur's own time by Bechamp and other honest scientists who actually were motivated by the pursuit of truth and couldn't be bought off the way "science" is today.
Define microzymas in modern molecular terms since you claim "has been corroborated by modern microscopy, immunology and genetics".
Saying that shows you have only the most superficial understanding of modern microscopy, immunology and genetics.
And no need to capitalize wrong, I understand the meaning of the word in both lower and upper case, you are just signalling that you don't have a cogent argument to support your point of view.
But go ahead, define microzymas in molecular terms, what kind of molecules are they made of?
For starters you can refer to the author of this very substack who addressed this very topic: "From Bechamp's Microzymas to Unwin's Nanobes." Aug. 25.2025!!!
I am having the conversation with you, not with Unbekoming, who is obviously welcome to jump in at any point. I am subscribed to his substack because I like and agree with many of his points of view but certainly not all of them, sometimes I disagree. Sometimes I even vehemently, but politely, disagree with him, in the comments.
Not read that particular article, but go ahead, you shared your strong opinion, you capitalized "wrong", so show me that you have something of substance to back up your affirmation...!
I challenged you to define microzymas in molecular terms, so do it!
No hiding behind mama's skirt allowed here, or are you not a grown man?
Fantastic, I have read Pasteur, Bernard and Béchamp, in French actually. I am well aware of Bechamp's thesis, I agree with his emphasis on the terrain, and I am asking a simple question, what are microzymas in molecular terms? Because today we know in excruciating details all the fermentation taking place in cells, we know the enzymes, substrates and cofactors involved, we know the genes encoding these enzymes, and in which cell types they are expressed. And there is no space there where you can find microzymas, as Béchamp define them. Tell me what they are physically, as molecules. You cannot, because they simply don't exist, and there is no reason to blame Béchamp for this mistake, his work is from the end of the 19th century for crying out loud.
If you could revive Béchamp, maybe with some microzymas?, and let him read the progress of molecular biology of the last 75 years, he would agree he was mistaken about microzymas because he was open-minded enough... ;-)
..."That choice created our current crisis of chronic disease that no amount of pharmaceutical firepower can resolve"...of course it can't because that is where much of the illness and disease emanates from. The use of debilitating and deadly big pharma chemical poisons found in ALL drugs and vaccines are the root cause of a poisoned body.
Sharp cut, gardener. Bernard handed us the internal ocean; Pasteur sold us a battlefield. Your fever chapter nails it—heat as intelligence, not error. If medicine had tended terrain instead of tallying statistics, we’d have fewer casualties and richer soil. The war was profitable; the garden is survivable. Time to re-salt the sea.
That is a very useful article, thank you. The tending gardens rather than fighting battles is a useful analogy as is the idea of an internal ocean.
However, we still have an element of battle in that our skins are a defence against certain things which might harm us. We are akin to a castle or home with gates for entry, ears, eyes, nose and mouth and two for waste disposal. Maintaining these is working order is part of good health.
As regards references to evolution this ignores the fact that we are designed, an incredibly complex design or interrelated parts which evolution, which merely means change, cannot be responsible for. There has to be a mind behind what is created.
As is written "I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvellous are your works, and I know this very well."
As regards the nervous system I found some understanding due to my facial palsy and the role of sodium nitrite (E250).
It makes perfect sense. TCM and a holistic approach are so very different when compared with modern medicine. Personally, whenever possible, I prefer the first. Being handicapped I used to get up and go to bed with pain, having to use 4 painkillers a day (the relatively mild ones, not the ones advised by my consultant). My wonderful friend @Tesstamona introduced me to Kundalini yoga where I found a kriya ‘Overcoming pain’. With just 17 minutes a day I can control pain 24/7 to the extent that I haven’t taken any painkiller for some time. Any pain eases and disappears during the exercise.
For me, restoring balance is vital.
I completely agree! I read recently that yoga aligns and sort of tones the acupuncture meridians. That makes so much sense. It gives the benefits of acupuncture without needles. Pain management is such an important area to focus on and come up with non-drug ways of dealing with it. If the core issues are addressed, the pain will go away.
Absolutely. If you can control pain you can control so much in life.

Have you looked into Gerald Pollack and Gilbert Ling's work?
Hi there. I have Dr. Pollack's book: Fourth Phase of water. I do not know of Gilbert Ling. Thank you for your suggestion.
I liked your article a lot. The same analogy about war and gardening applies in human affairs as well. There is a whole lot of war going on right now. I wonder if the pendulum is getting ready to swing back towards gardening. I hope so.

100 years of Rockefeller medicine and people are unhealthier than ever, lol.

You also fall victim to the ideas of the times. There is no immune system! In fact nothing has an immune system.
