Bechamp or Pasteur: A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology is a book written by Douglas Hume that explores the scientific rivalry between two prominent figures in the field of microbiology: Antoine Bechamp and Louis Pasteur. The book challenges the commonly held belief that Pasteur's germ theory of disease is the only valid explanation for the spread of infectious diseases. Instead, Hume argues that Bechamp's theory of pleomorphism, which posits that microorganisms can change shape and function based on their environment, is a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the role of microorganisms in health and disease. The book delves into the personal and professional lives of both scientists, examining their research methods, discoveries, and disagreements. Hume also discusses the wider implications of their theories for modern medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the history of microbiology and the scientific process, and challenges readers to question commonly accepted beliefs about the nature of disease and the role of microorganisms in human health.Contents: Introduction; The Mystery of Fermentation; The Microzymas; The Cult of the Microbe; Valedictory; Index.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
