In a speech to a group of students and physicians, Bernard declared, “The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing.” He then lifted a glass of water, contaminated with deadly cholera bacteria, and drank it. He didn’t get sick, proving that his “terrain” was as healthy as he claimed it was. He made his point — germs don’t cause disease. Establishing a foundation of health and vitality, free of toxins, and fostering a strong, balanced immune system, he argued, was more important than killing pathogens.
