An Inquiry into the Logical Basis of the Germ Theory

The germ “theory:” a scientific foundation or a logical fallacy? To those familiar with my work, it comes as no surprise that I take great interest in highlighting the forgotten voices from the formative years of germ “theory” and virology—those who examined the rise of these pseudoscientific fields with critical eyes. These individuals had front-row… Continue reading An Inquiry into the Logical Basis of the Germ Theory

The Snake Oil Tycoon

The biggest conman of them all. Recently, I came across a tweet by a clinical psychologist named Dr. Jonathan Stea who claimed that the snake oil salesmen of the past never went away. He named wellness coaches, alternative practitioners, and energy medicine physicians as the modern day versions of these traveling conmen who provided “magical”… Continue reading The Snake Oil Tycoon

Lost & Found

Learning from the past in order to ensure a better future. One of the joys that I have when doing research into the fraud of germ “theory” and virology is stumbling upon hidden gems of information attached to buried and forgotten voices that highlight the fallacious premises behind the belief that invisible germs cause disease.… Continue reading Lost & Found

The Untold Stories of Drs. Powell & Fraser

The men behind some of the most devastating sets of experiments falsifying the germ “theory” of disease. Sometimes, when coming across information that one finds favorable, it is easy to accept it at face value without completely doing the due diligence of verifying the accuracy of the information for oneself. This is especially true when… Continue reading The Untold Stories of Drs. Powell & Fraser

The Germ Hypothesis Part 2: Koch’s Crisis

In the first part of this investigation into the germ hypothesis, we established what exactly a hypothesis is supposed to be in regard to natural science, which is a proposed explanation for an observed natural phenomenon. We briefly touched on what led to Louis Pasteur conjuring up his explanation of disease through germs with his plagiarized work… Continue reading The Germ Hypothesis Part 2: Koch’s Crisis

The Germ Hypothesis Part 1: Pasteur’s Problems

According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the germ “theory” of disease, which states that certain diseases are caused by the invasion of the body by microorganisms too small to be seen, has “long been considered proved.” Harvard University says that the “theory” was “developed, proved, and popularized in Europe and North America between about 1850 and 1920.” Wikipedia claims that the… Continue reading The Germ Hypothesis Part 1: Pasteur’s Problems

The Infectious Myth Busted Part 6: The Germ Duel

In the early 1900s, there was a Canadian doctor who experimented with millions of the so-called deadly pathogenic bacteria of diphtheria, typhoid, pneumonia, meningitis, and tuberculosis. Anywhere from 50,000 to several millions of these bacteria were contained within the cultures that were ultimately swallowed by the volunteers. However, not a single one of them ever… Continue reading The Infectious Myth Busted Part 6: The Germ Duel

Second Thoughts on the Germ Theory

I recently went through many of the early voices who spoke out against the germ “theory” of disease from the start of its conception in the mid 1800s. These individuals provided plenty of reasons for why the germ “theory” of disease did not fit with the observations of “infectious” and “contagious” disease as seen within their own… Continue reading Second Thoughts on the Germ Theory

The Germ Theory House of Cards

“The general public, however intelligent, are struck only by that which it takes little trouble to understand. They have been told that the interior of the body is something more or less like the contents of a vessel filled with wine, and that this interior is not injured – that we do not become ill, except… Continue reading The Germ Theory House of Cards
