During his long career as an academic and researcher in nineteenth century France, Bchamp was widely known and respected as both a teacher and a researcher. As a leading academic, his work was well documented in scientific circles. Few made as much use of this fact as Louis Pasteur, who based much of his career on plagiarising and distorting Bchamps research- in doing so, Pasteur secured for himself an undeserved place in the history of medical science. The Blood and its Third Element is Bchamps explanation of his position, and his defense of it against Pasteurs mischief. This final major work of Bchamps embodies the culmination of his lifes research. This book contains, in detail, the elements of the microzymian theory of the organization of living organisms and organic materials. It has immediate and far reaching relevance to the fields of immunology, bacteriology, and cellular biology- and it shows that more than 100 years ago, the germ, or microbian, theory of disease was demonstrated by Bchamp to be without foundation. There is no single cause of disease. The ancients thought this, and Bchamp proved it and was written out of history for his trouble. The relevance of his work to the dilemmas that plague modern medical science remains as yet unrealized. This is a new edition of this title. The text has been extensively re-edited for todays reader. The Blood and Its Third Element by Antoine Bechamp
