Last month we talked
about two medical theories: The Germ Theory of Louis Pasteur and
The Terrain Theory of
Antoine Beauchamp
Pasteur is considered
the father of Germ Theory, although that thinking had been around for at
least a hundred years. His experiments proved it to be valid, and this
established him as a cornerstone of Modern Medicine. He later admitted
he was wrong, but textbooks don’t show that because once science
approves a theory, mistakes in the research are rarely admitted.
The
Wellness Directory of Minnesota
states that it is too bad that much of Pasteur’s work was plagiarized
from Beauchamp and other scientists and was totally unscientific. On his
death bed, he recanted by saying that his Germ Theory was all wrong and
that the correct theory was the Terrain theory of Antoine Beauchamp.
The Wellness Directory
also discusses two scientists whose work was discredited because it did
not fit with or support the Germ Theory. Roy Rife developed a machine
that helped the body tissue heal its self. Since there was no historical
background for this concept, his work was rejected and his machine and
papers were destroyed. Gaston Naisser researched cancer and through his
work with somatides, found a cure called 714X. His work was also
rejected by mainstream medicine because it, too, had no apparent
historical basis. Medicine refused to accept any competing theories,
even though those well documented with multimedia shows.
A few short years ago, I
met Dr. Robert O. Young, a fascinating scientific who has spent his life
re-examining past theories of disease. He began extending the
experiments of Antoine Beauchamp’s Theory of Terrain. Using a Darkfield
Microscope to study how cells mutate as they reach new areas, he proved
that Beauchamp was correct in his analysis that sickness begins within
the body.
Dr.
Robert O. Young
is well known for his lectures and his publications of medical research.
His primary book presenting his work to the general public is The pH
Miracle. Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health. His wife, Shelly
Redford Young, worked with him as a lab colleague.
Dr.
Young’s
research identified the pH balance as the key factor in keeping the
proper healthy terrain of the whole body. The pH of your blood and
tissues tells you how acidic or alkaline your body is. Different areas
of the body have different ideal pH levels, but blood pH is the
significant marker.
The pH scale we use is
from 1 to 14. On that scale 7 is neutral. Any number below 7 is acid,
and any number above 7 is base (alkalize). Ideally you should maintain
the blood pH at 7.365. It takes 20 times as much base to neutralize any
given amount of acid, so you can see that it is much easier to maintain
the balance than it is to bring the pH to balance.
Chronic acidity corrodes
the body tissue and if left unchecked, will interrupt all cellular
activities and functions of your heart, including the neural firings of
your brain. Over-acidity keeps folks overweight because fat absorbs
excess acid before much damage can occur. The problem is that when you
add more acid than can be absorbed, damage does occur, and you gain
weight.
The best way to keep the
pH in the proper balance is to watch what you eat. That means 80% of
your food must be alkalizing foods, like green vegetables. The other 20%
are made of those that are slightly acidic. In Back to the House of
Health, Shelly Redford Young shares recipes to help us maintain a
desirable pH balance.
It is important we
realize and remember that disease begins when our bodies turn acidic.
When the pH balance falls below 7.365, the clean-up crew goes to work -
because it thinks the body is DEAD.
Remember, nature is our
teacher. Rudolph Virchow, the Father of Pathology, wrote, “Mosquitoes
seek stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to be stagnant.” So we
can see that germs do not cause tissue to be diseased but are the
clean-up crew of diseased tissue. The Darkfield microscope has shown us
that tissue becomes diseased when left in an acid state.
Now knowing these facts,
you can one see that the solution to your health problems lies in the
foods we eat and your pH balance, not the drugs you take. It is time we
get serious about reclaiming the wisdom of our ancestors for healing the
body.

After returning home, Robert Coke, entered
pre-seminary school Austin College with a major in Philosophy. He continued
his education by earning a degree in Bachelor of Science in Engineering and
a Bachelor of Business Administration at Southern Methodist University where
he later served on the faculty as an instructor. In 1996, Elder Coke was
elected Chairman, of the American Indian Heritage Association and served
as an ambassador for the American Indian Center of Dallas. Gray Hawk is
now a semi-retired consultant.
