What Antoine Bechamp’s Terrain Theory says about your lifestyle and habits.

06/04/2021

Good morning followers of Erdington Osteopaths' page.
Today I was thinking about the reasons why I would recommend a food supplement or vitamin or mineral preparation. Often these 'supplements to food' are presented as cures for this or that condition and sold as such, which buys into the idea of being helped by 'experts'. This takes away some of our power to be well by our own effort and choice.
Vitamin supplements are not very effective without a good diet. Hippocrates is supposed to have said 'Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food'. Apparently this phrase can't be found in any of his writings, but he wrote often on the subject of medicine and diet.
My point is that, although it takes a bit of work, choosing good food is essential to empowering ourselves to be healthy. Germs of all sorts rarely cause us to be diseased if we are healthy enough, and being confident in your health boosts that effect massively!
When comes to infectious diseases, 'there is nothing to fear but fear itself' which is attributable to many commentators including, apparently, Francis Bacon.
Have a confident, well nourished day!

Make your own decisions. It’s healthier.

Hello again friends, I have been thinking about how to kick start the fight back from Covid 19 with my friend suggesting the catch phrase ‘Inside out’ meaning that you can be healthy from the inside out and get past our fear of germs attacking us from outside.
The scientist who epitomises this approach is a contemporary of Louis Pasteur, called Antoine Bechamp. He performed most of the research that Pasteur based his Germ Theory on. However, Bechamp disagreed with that theory and developed his own Terrain Theory which postulated that if tissue was healthy, germs would not attack it.
More soon😀😀

Introduction to new video series with ‘ The importance of nose breathing’.

25/01/2021

Dear Friends of Erdington Osteopaths. I have now been silent in this page for six months. I have been going through change at a rapid pace ever since the first lockdown ended. I am sure you all have stories, both funny and sad, about the last six months.
I have noticed how spending so much time at home has made us think differently about our health. There is still much talk about danger from outside, from a virus transmitted by people. Just looking outside for help has it’s limitations and the next phase is looking inside for answers.
I have got together with a nature cure expert, Loverel Vinton-Gordon, to start videos again. This time it will be a series which we are calling ‘Inside-Out’.
After the Spanish flu 100 years ago ( which was apparently from Kansas!) there was a natural health revolution. In my childhood home of Letchworth there was a vegetarian restaurant in the 1920s, and nature cure developed greatly between the wars. After the Second World War, large corporations encouraged us to abandon nature in favour of more and more synthetic medicines and foods.
This is the start of a wonderful rediscovery of nature within us and all around, representing our wellness!
Look here again soon.
