Flu Season is a Hoax: Fact or Fiction?

What’s the difference between fiction and facts”? Fiction is easier to believe whereas facts are harder to accept. Mark Twain stated, that ”It is easier to fool someone than to convince them that they were fooled.” One just has to go back in history to the 1860s. There was a scientific battle going on between Louis Paster and Antoine Béchamp. The battle was between the Germ Theory Versus the Terrain theory. Most Americans probably have heard of Louis Pasteur; it is doubtful that many are familiar with the name and research of Antoine Béchamp. Béchamp was the more brilliant thinker and researcher, but Pasteur had political connections, including Emperor Napoleon III. It’s not what you know but who you know. The difference was that Béchamp’s theory was not embraced by the conventional scientific community. The same myopic mentality exists today. Big Pharma loves the concept of a pill for every ill. Natural medicine physicians are character assassinated and their natural remedies are viewed as unscientific and quackery. In fact, the opposite is true. Doctors who push drugs to treat symptoms are the real quacks and the practitioners who treat the terrain or real cause are the real doctors.

So why is the flu season a hoax? Because consumption of highly processed foods and especially those containing one or more of the 56 common forms of sugar will lower your immune system. Béchamp was correct. Germs do not cause illness but a toxic terrain will. The average person has between one and three trillion bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in their body at any given time. Feeding these pathogens high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, agave nectar (contains about 70–90% fructose and 10–30% glucose) dextrose, corn syrup, corrupts your terrain with the end result that these bugs become opportunistic. That’s why flu season is a hoax. If the population consumed organic food with minimal to no sugar there would be no flu season!

On average, adults, young adults, and children in the U.S. consume 17 teaspoons of added sugar every day, which adds up to around 60 pounds of added sugar consumed annually. This is the reason why 8.5 million adults aged 18 years or older met laboratory criteria for diabetes; an estimated 96 million adults aged 18 years or older had pre-diabetes. This is a worldwide problem resulting in a total of 1.5 million deaths worldwide directly attributed to diabetes annually. Sugar raises the insulin level; insulin causes systemic inflammation; systemic inflammation is the common denominator for all degenerative diseases. The choice is yours.
