You become an Alchemist by knowing what type of medical science and what type of mediicinary tool to draw upon for you unique circumstances as a unique being.
Germ Theory: the medical professional focuses on attacking an invader, you are a victim and vaccines are medicine
This is what most of us have grown up with. It was posited by Louis Pasteur in XXXXX. Under the germ theory, “diseases” are caused by microorganisms invading the body. Germs, viruses and bacteria are causative.
This theory is primarily responsible for the birth of vaccinations and antibiotics.
Under this theory, you have no agency - and are essentially a victim - as you go about your life encountering thousands of microorganisms every day.
Terrain Theory: the medical professional focuses on building your immune system, you have agency, likely food, daily rhythms, and herbs are the medicine
The terrain theory was posited by a contemporaries of Pasteur, Claude Bernard and Antoine Béchamp.
Terrain theory states that if an individual maintains a healthy terrain, it can handle what your body perceives as outside invaders or threats. Health (or one being susceptible to disease) depends on the quality of your terrain. When the terrain is weak, it favors the microorganism. Currently “terrain” is often focused on the health of your gut and inflammation. .
Note: It is said that towards the end of his life Pasteur said that his Béchamp, had it right. It’s the terrain.
Terrain theory states that diseases are results of our internal environment and its ability to maintain homeostasis against outside threats. The key difference between germ theory and terrain theory is that germ theory states that germs are the causative agents of most diseases while terrain theory states that our internal environment and its elements are responsible for the diseases.
