“What Started Pasteurization?”
[Louis Pasteur] “was given an honorary doctorate to make popular the false allopathic theory that shouted: Disease is the result of bacteria. On his death-bed, Pasteur confessed that his and the allopathic bacteria theory was all wrong and that disease was the result of a toxic environment; bacteria were simply the symptom of degenerative tissue and a healthful response of the body to remove the degenerative tissue.”
Another death-bed retraction of a scientific theory. Charles Darwin is most often the scientist picked for this dubious honor. I’ve yet to see any convincing evidence to support “death-bed retractions.”
The reality is simple: it doesn’t matter. If Pasteur or Darwin or Einstein had a death bed retraction, it does not make the theory invalid. The theory - the germ theory, the theory of evolution, the theory of relativity - is supported by the body of observations, not the personal beliefs of its author.
Just posting this to keep my head from exploding. Thanks for your time.
