The Blood and Its Third Element Paperback – 23 December 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
What Dr. Béchamp is describing is a foundational concept.
According to his experiments and observations, these tiny particles he named 'microzymas' have an active role in sustaining and also in terminating life. Using the syllable '-zyme' (now also used in the word 'enzyme') to indicate this principle of causing ‘fermentation’ (activity) Béchamp searched for and found the same particles and activity even in limestone, apparently from the ancient shelled creatures whose bodies were incorporated into the stone. They still retained their activity. The only factor that stopped these particles was heat.
As Dr. Béchamp expressed it, “Life is the prey of life”: i.e. as the organizing life-principle of a complex body ceases to operate, the microzymas take up their role of breaking it down and returning its elements to nature to be taken up by other life forms.
Unfortunately Pasteur first tried to steal Béchamp’s work, then when he objected, Pasteur set out to use his political clout to destroy the career and reputation of the great French doctor. This is why we don’t hear much about this alternative school of science.
A complete history of this scientific and political conflict was written early in the 20th century, by a woman doing meticulous research into the historical records of the French Academy of Science. Please see Bechamp or Pasteur?: A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology by Ethel Hume. Her book is another must-read for grasping the significance of this concept and why certain interests wanted it deleted from the scientific record.
The same discovery of tiny active particles was repeated in the 20th century, first by Royal Rife using a very complex microscope to observe the particles changing into four different types. Later, working independently and with a different powerful microscope of his own invention, the French scientist Gaston Naessens observed these particles morph into sixteen different forms including bacterial and fungal. The significance of this is that what we think of as pathogens are not necessarily 'infectious' (or 'exogenous', or from outside), but can be 'endogenous' (from within).
Christopher Bird’s detailed account of this concept which has been named “pleomorphism” — and which is still being attacked by the chemical-based medical authorities — is in his very instructive book The Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens: The True Story of the Efforts to Suppress an Alternative Treatment for Cancer, AIDS, and Other Immunologically Based Diseases.
Like Ethel Hume, the late Christopher Bird was fluent in French, and attended the French-language trial in Quebec. A version of this story in French is titled Le Galilée du microscope” (Galileo of the Microscope). In reference to the infamous behaviour of Galileo’s critics who refused to look into his telescope, the critics of Naessens refused to look through this powerful microscope that could resolve images in angstrom resolution, without first killing or staining the samples.
As the science of “psychoneuroimmunology” begins to gain traction in clinical practice, I entertain the hope that the role of the endogenous (driven by the psyche) aspects of dis-ease will become more respected. (For a detailed account of that field of understanding I’d recommend reading Dr. Gabor Maté’s book When the Body Says No (also in print).)
Then perhaps Béchamp may be restored to the status he deserves as a medical pioneer far ahead of his time.
Review"I am LOVING this book! I thought when starting class "Oh great, a hard book to read" but it has totally surprised me, and I am now having a hard time putting it down! Great read for any one just looking to learn more about the body and blood and how things work..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Bechamp was a great man, a genius.
Verified PurchaseTurns out, I believe now, that Louis Pasteur was wrong about a lot of things. The evidence is pretty convincing, especially when you consider that his lab notes were made public and academically analysed in the 1990s. Until then, Pasteur's notes were always kept secret until their release. There is a book on the topic of Pasteur's notes available at a hefty price at the University where it was published.
Pasteur appears to have plagiarized the works of others, but most notably the ideas and the actual science of Antoine Bechamp. It was an exciting time of discovery and mainly because of Pasteur's political connections, we are stuck with a nearly-universally held and mis-alinged view about the nature of disease. In other words, the Germ Theory of Disease is wrong. Everything taken off a false premise will surely be wrong, and taken in the aggregate, all these things point to modern medicine itself as somewhat defunct, especially in the light of Covid.
The Blood And It's Third Element is an excellent book and, I believe, is the only of Bechamp's books to be published in English.
I am retired now, but was an Emergency and Flight Nurse and Emergency Room administrator for a long time. Based on the works of Bechamp and the Lost History of Biology, I have rejected the Germ-Theory of Disease.
Beware of reading books like these as you may find yourself cancelled if you talk about these topics too much. Antoine Bechamp's works and ideas are definitely considered controversial. If you go into it with an open mind however, you might learn something important about the world in which we live.
I have both books in Paperback from Amazon. They're beautiful. I recommend to get them while you can because they were written a long time ago and are not always easy to get. The Blood was written in the late 1800s; I'm not sure when it was translated to English. This edition was published in 2017. Ethyl D. Hume wrote her book Bechamp or Pasteur, I believe in the 1920s.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top ten Most Important Books to Buy, that will change your life perspective
Verified PurchaseSo simple, and flips the "medical" system on its back. They studiously avoid where bacteria actually come from, and why.
