Germs, Disease and

Contagion: The Fraud of

Louis Pasteur
Explained by Dr. Thomas Cowan M.D.1

So the first thing I would say is that the germ theory which
many people ascribe to the late 1800s and [to] Pasteur, actually
goes way back to even Greek times you know sort of ancient
Greek times.

It’s because for very simple reasons that if you observe the
world which we all do, it appears that people in the same place
sometimes get sick with the same thing and so it’s not at all
unreasonable to say they may be passing something back and
forth.

And so that thought has been there for literally thousands of

years now that’s one of the sort of modern proofs that there are
viruses and bacteria causing disease. And I would point out that
any of us would think that that’s actually nonsense because for
instance in Japan in 1945 a lot of people died because
somebody dropped a bomb on them. Nobody thinks that’s a
virus. So one can’t say [[just] because a lot of people in the same
place get sick, that means it’s a virus or even that it’s
contagious.

So that’s the background.

And then [there] came a change in human consciousness to a

much more mechanistic materialistic mode of thinking. I mean
thinking like Descartes thought, that only physical substance
exists. And I would say was a radical departure from how every
prior human culture or people thought about life in the world so
this theory that we’re only based on substance is very radical
theory, so that was the sort of philosophical background to the
1890s.

And then came some experiments and some invention of the

light microscope and people started seeing these unicellular
organisms called bacteria and then came the theory that some
of the diseases that we see and maybe even most of them are
because this bacteria goes from one person to another and
makes them sick and that’s basically the foundation of the
germ theory.

Now interestingly at that time—and now we’re talking 1850s to

1880s—there were a lot of people, and particularly a guy named
Beauchamp who said that’s just not true. In fact these bacteria
are just scavengers in nature they’re feeding off dead material
and they don’t cause any disease. It’s the situation of the
person, so then you have this sort of debate of germ versus
terrain.

Terrain just means the condition of the person or the animal. So

Pasteur got into this and decided to try to sort this out.

Here’s the way that I would describe it to people and I would say
almost to a certain extent, of all the things I may say if you want
to remember anything this is the thing to remember:
So let’s take an example of how this works, we’re talking terrain
versus germ, so let’s say you have a cow and for whatever
reason you don’t feed the cow proper. So instead of feeding the
cow pasture and grass like cows are supposed to, you feed it
grains and cardboard and dead cow parts and you know all the
other things that we feed cows.

So now you have a sick cow and then to top it off you spray
glyphosate and DDT and other you know worming agents and
fungus killing stuff and whatever, all of that gets absorbed into
the cow’s tissues which is the whole point. And then as we know
anything you poison an animal with comes out in the milk.

So then you have this milk and then the person drinks the milk
and gets sick. So the theory then is you transmitted something
from the milk to the person and you got them sick.

And then you look under the microscope and you see this
bacteria that’s called Listeria which is a so-called “pathogenic”
or “disease-causing” bacteria in the milk. And then you look in
the stool of the who has the diarrhea and you find the same
bacteria and it was, as if it was a eureka moment in history. End
of story we’ve now proven that germs cause disease, now we’re
talking bacteria.

So what’s the problem? Well it turns out there is another

possible explanation, and that explanation is also very simple
and very logical: That you have poison milk and the role of
bacteria in the world is to digest poisons wherever they are
found, and so the Listeria are not there as a pathogenic
organism they’re there to biodegrade. In other words eat the
poisons in the milk. In fact they’re helping you and the cow out.
We have two very reasonable explanations.

I would only point out that if you look into nature, which is you
know what I’ve tried to do for 40 years as a student of Goethe,
he said don’t start with theories start with observations
otherwise [you] may get blindsided.

So if you look into nature you for instance see if you put bad
stuff in your compost pile you’ll get funky bacteria. Nobody says
the compost pile has an infection. Everybody says that the
bacteria are biodegrading that and if you if you weren’t such an
idiot you would stop throwing that stuff at your compost.

Same with a pond, you have a pond you put poisons in it you get
algae growth, the algae are eating the poisons they’re helping
you out because you were dumb enough to put poisons in your
pond. Nobody says the tongue has infection, you know anybody
would say that the problem is the poisons and as soon as you
stop throwing the poisons by some miracle because they don’t
have any more food the algae go away.

So getting back to our milk we have these two very reasonable

explanations one is that its the Listeria, the bacteria. The other
it’s the poisons the bad quality of the milk and the Listeria is just
eating the poisons.

So the question then is how do you know which of those is true?

It’s very simple all you have to do is isolate the Listeria from the
milk feed somebody pure Listeria and then you could also feed
them the milk [separately] without the Listeria and you could
see if they get sick.

So this is what Louis Pasteur did for 40 years, he was the first to
 be able to do this sort of [thing], he basically stole the idea but
anyways, he took pure cultures of bacteria isolated from
pathogenic, you know from sick people, fed them to animals or
people, made them sick, did public demonstrations and he was
the Fauci of his day, because he proved the germ theory and he
saved humanity, and so there you go.

Except there was one problem.

Well maybe not a problem but he did have the integrity to keep
a personal diary and in that diary which he told his heirs is never
to publish, but apparently one of his heirs, I think his son-in-law
or something hated his guts because he’s kind of an [ __ ] but he
published it anyways.

And in their Pasteur admitted that it turns out that not once was
he able to transmit disease with a pure bacteria not once and
that in order to do these public demonstrations you had to
actually spike it with like arsenic and mercury, because how are
you going to make people sick he already knew that he couldn’t.

So anyways when you’re famous you keep going right once you
get caught in a fraud you’re in trouble so then you have to
escalate. And he didn’t tell anybody, except he told people in his
diary and then famously on his deathbed he said “the germ is
nothing, the terrain is everything” because he realized he was a
complete failure and a fraud.

Note: Numerous books have been written on this subject, one of

the more recent ones is: Gerald Geison, “The Private Science of
Louis Pasteur” (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1995).
Geison was the Professor to whom the heir of Pasteur gave the
diaries, and this publication was the result of a detailed
investigation of the diaries. Another book is: Ethel Hume,
“Bechamp or Pasteur? A Lost Chapter in the History of
Biology”, 1923. And another: R. B. Pearson, “Pasteur: Plagiarist,
Imposter. The Germ Theory Exploded”, 1942.
