Publisher's Synopsis
Blood and its Third Anatomical Element is a book written by Antoine Bechamp, a French biologist and contemporary of Louis Pasteur. In this book, Bechamp challenges the prevailing theory of his time that bacteria are the sole cause of disease. He argues that the third anatomical element of blood, which he calls the microzyma, plays a significant role in health and disease. Bechamp proposes that the microzyma is a living organism that can change form and function depending on the environment it is in. He also suggests that the microzyma can transform into bacteria under certain conditions. Bechamp's theory of the microzyma has been largely overlooked in modern medicine, but his work has influenced alternative and holistic approaches to health. Blood and its Third Anatomical Element is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the role of microorganisms in health and disease.1912. Application of the Microzymian theory of the living organization to the study of the anatomical and chemical constitution of the blood and to that of the anatomical and physiological causes of the phenomena of its coagulation and of its other spontaneous changes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
