T Cells - TheBody.com's Bulletin Boards

Are you eating? Malnutrition will cause your thymus do deteriorate and T cell counts to decline.

In my opinion, too much emphasis is place on HIV and not enough on treating the body.

Louis Pasteur discovered the “germ theory of disease” and for most of his life he believed that humans were at their mercy. However, even HE changed his mind and realized by the end of his life that if a body is healthy it will not harbor a disease.

Unfortunately our society, with its emphasis on fast foods, fast living, and quick cures has created a breeding ground for ill health and disease. There is a tremendous amount of information now about how one can go about bringing the body back around into a state of health. I think it is very important to take these things into consideration if you are experiencing any ill health.

Freeze dried Thymus and other supplements that help support the Thymus are good for helping out T cells. (Not that I know of what value T cells are – they are so many contradictory opinions about them. They were not even looked at until the discovery of HIV, which makes me question their real significance. But that is just my opinion.)

Anyway, here is the quote by Louis Pasteur.

"I have been wrong.
The germ is nothing.
The Terrain is everything."
Louis Pasteur on his deathbed in 1895

Shifting Paradigms
Once Louis Pasteur discovered how to kill bacteria by heat processing (pasteurization), he embarked upon an energetic but ultimately frustrating career to eliminate all bacteria from the planet earth. Didn't work. And a century later, after the development of numerous "super drugs" to kill bacteria, Americans now have infections as the third leading cause of death, right after heart disease and cancer. Many bacteria are now drug resistant and virtually unstoppable. Similarly, after spending the last half century trying to poison the insects out of our fields with potent pesticides, we now have "super bugs" that are chemically resistant to all poisons and a net INCREASE in crop loss to insects. Same goes for cancer. We thought that we could poison the cancer out of the patient. But many cancers develop a drug resistance or hormone independence, while the toxic drugs compromise our immune systems and leave us "naked" in the battle with the cancer.

There is a new philosophy emerging in science and medicine. According to several articles in major cancer journals, oncologists are asking the question: "Must we kill to cure?". In the prestigious Journal of Clinical Oncology (April 1995, p.801), Drs. Schipper, Goh, and Wang provide a compelling argument that curing the cancer patient need not include killing the cancer cells with potent cytotoxic therapies.

In many ways, from our fields to our bacterial infection patients to our cancer patients, we need to re-examine Dr. Pasteur's grand deathbed epiphany: "The terrain is everything."
