Join as we discuss the forgotten debate between germ theory and terrain theory, examining Koch, Pasteur, Béchamp, and the financial forces that shaped modern medicine. We look at ethical controversies, Koch’s Postulates, early contagion experiments, and how today’s chronic illness, brain fog, and mental health crises may point back to the importance of the internal terrain.We explore the lives and conflicts of Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, and Antoine Béchamp, along with overlooked contributors like Toussaint and Claude Bernard, whose work emphasized balance, environment, and internal health. We examine Pasteur’s rise to fame, including the rabies vaccine trials, ethical concerns, allegations of plagiarism revealed in his private notebooks, and disputed public demonstrations.We break down Koch’s Postulates, why even Koch struggled to satisfy them, and how industrial funding from Andrew Carnegie and later Rockefeller institutions helped lock germ theory into medical education—culminating in the Flexner Report of 1910, which eliminated most non-allopathic medical schools.The episode also covers early 20th-century contagion experiments that often failed to demonstrate person-to-person transmission, the emergence of virology, and unresolved questions about observation, causation, and interpretation.Finally, we connect terrain theory to modern concerns—chronic illness, brain fog, mental health, and spiritual disconnection—asking whether a narrow focus on pathogens has obscured the full picture of human health.This is not an anti-science argument, but a historical examination of how science chose its path, and what may have been left behind.Don't Forget to Like and Subscribe!See more and support the show at the links below!Podcast Platforms:🎧 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/6wmiNUKBYmxMVFlK7SALzx?si=BCUqHyKhTnqITbzKvJo3bA🍎 Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-veritas-road/id1488067195Social Media:📸 Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/theveritasroad/🎥 YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@theveritasroad🎥 Rumble – https://rumble.com/c/TheVeritasRoad?e9s=src_v1_clr🐦 X (Twitter) – https://x.com/VeritasRoadPod📱 TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@theveritasroad?lang=enSupport the Show: 💵 Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/cw/veritasroad🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
