When a cold or flu is introduced into the workplace or classroom, some people may be sick for weeks, while others are unaffected. Maintaining a healthy immune system is the key to avoiding illness. This common knowledge is contrary to Louis Pasteur's germ theory, the prevailing medical paradigm of our time, which has led to the pharmaceutical approach to healing. The dominance of Pasteur's theory has obscured the work of other scientists who believed that internal imbalances in the body place us in jeopardy for disease. This book presents the research of pioneers—including Bernard, Béchamp, Cannon, Naessens, and Page—who explored the role of body chemistry as the first defense against illness.

Rethinking Pasteur's Germ Theory is more than a history of medical science. Throughout the book, practicing nutritionist Dr. Nancy Appleton applies the findings of these researchers to a greater understanding of our own bodies. This reader-friendly guide shows us how to preserve our well-being through our attitude, environment, and diet. Common foods to avoid for particular body constitutions and a series of health-promoting food plans are outlined. Appleton provides information and practical advice that will educate and motivate the reader to achieve an optimal state of health.
