Louie Pasteur --- spoke to a Rabbi in order to develop idea behind vaccines the verse from the talmud was something about "if a dog bites you, eat the dog's liver" (rabbi =(?) rabies?) Then, Pasteurization proceeds to sterilize all good bacteria from naturally healthy sources. Many, many people have commented that vaccines never provided a single health benefit (Ghandi) Modern Western medicine ignores terrain theory, prefers "germ" theory which is arguably false. One germ will never take you down if you are a resilient and robust adult. Western doctors receive *zero* training in vitamins, nutrition, diet, or exercise. (unless you find a perfect exception to the rule) They do not know the fundamentals on these subjects. Meanwhile Ayurveda (ancient yogic/vedic medicine), ancient greek medicine, contemporary Eastern medicine all recognize diet as the first starting point of general health and curing most disease. Western medicine approaches things backward for chronic ailments, you have to pay up front for the pill, regardless if it will cure you or not. The one thing Western medicine excels at is Emergency services, forms of surgery, antibiotics, otherwise if you are suffering chronically, a doctor will not help you and recommend pills and surgery first when it could have been easily cured by diet/ Eastern medicine techniques with less invasiveness on the body.
