The Dream & Lie of Louis Pasteur

ody" sound remarkably like de Kruif's description of the way in which Koch's
tuberculous germs spread through his guinea pigs? Miss Hume says in Bechamp or
Pasteur?:
"It is noteworthy that neither Pasteur nor any of his successors
have ever induced a complaint by the inoculation of air-carried
bacteria, but only by injections from bodily sources."
I believe this would account for a very large part of our "miliary tuberculosis" in
persons under 15; undoubtedly it followed the injection of some biological! And
Miss Hume's description would include all biologicals of every description!
Dr Sanderson continues:
"My further inquiries lead me to believe, in the first place that
these characters belong much more generally to tuberculous
growths than I had at first supposed; and secondly, that those
normal tissues which possess them are much more liable to
become the seat of the tuberculous process than others."
This is probably the most striking evidence in print that almost any sort of
inoculation can cause tuberculosis in the animal inoculated, and of course it is
reasonable to deduce from this that the same non-tuberculous inoculations would
cause tuberculosis in man, any man, and in all probability, from any biological
product whatsoever! Yet the ignorant serum doctor will tell us that these products
are perfectly harmless!
TUBERCULIN A FRAUD
The above article, which from the day it was first printed should have forever
stopped the use of all biologicals on humans, was published over 20 years before
Robert Koch of Berlin brought out his Tuberculin (in 1890), which proved such a
terrible failure!
The Zoophilist for May 1st 1891 reported deaths in 123 "selected" cases in Berlin
from November 1890 to February 1891 which caused Koch to fall "under a cloud",
but he did not give up until the government finally closed him up because of the
terrible death rate!
Dr Paul de Kruif describes this work of Koch's on the tuberculosis germ in rather
lurid language49, yet recent efforts to produce a serum for tuber-culosis seem to
justify his words. He says of Koch's search for the microbe:
"I have it!" he whispered, and called the busy Loeffler and the
faithful Gaffhy from their own spyings on other microbes.
"Look," Koch cried, "one little speck of tubercle I put into this
beast six weeks ago - there could not have been more than a few
hundred of those bacilli in that small bit - now they've grown
into billions! What devils they are, those germs - from that one
place in the guinea pig's groin they have sneaked everywhere into
his body, they have gnawed, they have gone through the walls of
