I just did a start page search and seems like someone is shouting "Shut it down!" Referring to it as "Germ theory denialism". >>Béchamp was a bitter crank who argued that microbes became dangerous when the health of the host—its “terrain” or environment—deteriorated. Béchamp was comprehensively wrong: ... Today, Béchamp is invoked only by anti-vaxxers and disciples of alternative medicine who believe that food is medicine. >>... >>Béchamp was comprehensively wrong, but not absolutely so. His idea that microorganisms are necessary to good health, and that beneficial microbiota are pathogenic under the wrong conditions or in the wrong place, is now the standard view of researchers who study the microbiology of animals and plants. A new science of the microbiome—meaning, simply, the microorganisms in an environment—emphasizes that all plants and animals on Earth evolved in combination with microorganisms and asks how microbiota interact with their hosts. Over the last 17 years, we have learnt that countless functions in living things, from digesting food to regulating the immune system to germinating seeds, rely on microorganisms. https://www.wired.com/story/the-19th-century-crank-who-tried-to-tell-us-about-the-microbiome/
