Quote by Pierre Jacques Antoine Béchamp

“The general public, however intelligent, are struck only by that which it takes little trouble to understand. They have been told that the interior of the body is something more or less like the contents of a vessel filled with wine, and that this interior is not injured — that we do not become ill, except when germs, originally created morbid, penetrate into it from without, and then become microbes. “The public do not know whether this is true; they do not even know what a microbe is, but they take it on the word of the master; they believe it because it is simple and easy to understand; they believe and they repeat that the microbe makes us ill without inquiring further, because they have not the leisure — nor, perhaps, the capacity — to probe to the depths that which they are asked to believe. –Preface to La Théorie du Microzyma, as quoted in Béchamp or Pasteur?: A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology By Ethel D. Hume on page 304 [prefaced by Pasteur: Plagiarist, Imposter: The Germ Theory Exploded By R. B. Pearson], ISBN# 978-1-46790-012-6, 2011”

“Pastor Wyatt still shakes hands with people. He pays no attention to the warning to switch to the elbow bump. Cole remembers learning about this while he was still in regular school. Public health officials were trying to get people to switch because touching elbows did not spread infection the way touching hands did. Cole knows there are many people who have switched, but he sees the elbow bump only when he is around strangers. The people he sees every day make fun of the elbow bump. They shake hands and they hug one another, even through Pastor Wyatt says the disease that spared them all this time around is neither the last nor the worst of its kind. Other plagues are coming, he says, smiling. And he thinks they will be here soon.”

“People must learn that shaking another person's hand is not a friendly thing to do. It is not a friendly thing to put other people at risk for infectious diseases." She and several other people were shown demonstrating the elbow bump, and the auditorium got raucous again. "We must also consider limiting the use of coins and paper money. For this, too, may cause diseases to spread. We must use technology and human ingenuity to develop ways so that, in their daily public transactions, people touch one another as little as possible. Ideally, we also want to touch as few buttons and handles and knobs as possible.”

“সুস্বাস্থ্যের সবচেয়ে বড় অংশটাই ওষুধ ও পথ্যের সাথে সম্পর্কিত নয়। এটার নিশ্চিতি হয় যখন মানুষের মনে, হৃদয়ে ও আত্মায় শান্তির সংস্থান হয়। ব্যক্তিস্বার্থে যারা অসৎ, অকৃতজ্ঞ, প্রতারক চরিত্র- তাদের ভেতরদেশ শান্তি থেকে বঞ্চিত, তারা স্বাস্থময়তার সুখ থেকে বঞ্চিত। কারণ, ভালোবাসাই এ সমস্ত ইতিবাচকতার উৎস, এবং তারা ভালোবাসায় অবিশ্বস্ত।”

“Indeed, these two contradictory extremes that medicine has tended to vacillate between: either women's reproductive functions are pathologized as innately abnormal - in which case any symptoms they bring are "normal" - or else it is claimed that they are normal so if they cause symptoms, it's only because an individual woman's response to them is abnormal - she's just especially sensitive or overreacting. In short, either all women are sick or some women are crazy.”
