Louis Pasteur is credited with giving the world his theory that germs were the cause of disease and for 100 years now, conventional medicine has been based on Pasteur's work. Researchers and doctors have operated under the belief that disease is caused by the invasion of germs, and to eliminate disease these invading microbes have to be destroyed.

In our continuing quest to eliminate these microbes, our medicines have become increasingly more potent. While this has led to a great deal of success in healing many infections, it has also exposed a number of germ theory's shortcomings. As a result, many researchers are now rethinking the theory's validity.

Two Schools of Germ Theory

Over the years, two schools of thought concerning health and healing have emerged. Conventional medicine and its disciples have accepted germ theory in its entirety--that the road to disease is paved with microbes, and to remain healthy these microbes must be eliminated. They believe this can best be accomplished through the use of drugs, particularly antibiotics.

The pharmaceutical industry loves this idea. Since there are literally millions of different microbes all around us, it stands to reason that thousands of different medicines will be needed to destroy them. This translates into billions of dollars in profits, both from the sale of the drugs and the hundreds of testing procedures required to identify each of the pathogenic microbes involved and the effectiveness of the drugs used.

The second school of thought opposes both the idea of using drugs to destroy microbes as well as the basic premise that microbes are the sole cause of all disease. We live in an environment teeming with millions if not billions of microbes. These organisms inhabit and thrive in our air, water, soil, and even in our bodies. Thanks to the delicate yet very complex actions of our immune system, we are able not only to survive but actually thrive in this microbe-infested environment. An active, healthy immune system is the one thing that keeps us alive.

The Second School champions the importance of the immune system in health and healing. Under normal circumstances, our immune systems are able to destroy harmful microbes while leaving benign varieties alone. Health problems, therefore, occur not simply because we've been exposed to one microbe or another, but because our immune systems are not functioning as well as they should be. This helps explain why not everyone exposed to the cold virus comes down with a cold, or why some people are able to avoid and recover from deadly diseases like cancer while others cannot.

When illness does take hold, followers of the second school of thought believe that emphasis should be placed on boosting the immune system through nutrition and other natural techniques. They recognize the importance of enhancing the body's own innate healing powers through a proper diet and lifestyle.

To put it mildly, the pharmaceutical companies haven't been too supportive of this latter idea. There's not as much profit involved in promoting the use of whole, natural foods, herbs and vitamins as there is in selling drugs. As such, for years the pharmaceutical companies and many individuals within the medical profession have been trying to persuade the public that "alternatives" to drugs are a waste of time and money at best and outright quackery at worst. Recent trends and events, however, have begun to prove them wrong.

We Now Know that Drugs are Not the Total Solution

Over the past few years, we have been witnessing the backlash of germ therapy in the form of deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As a result of being "attacked" by stronger and stronger antibiotics, several strains of bacteria have mutated and developed a resistance to all forms of medication currently available.

It should come as no surprise, then, that more and more people are dying of cancer each year. The toxic drug and radiation treatments heralded as the solution just aren't working as expected. Similarly, AIDS researchers have determined that bombarding the body with anti-viral medications isn't the answer. With AIDS, there are a number of different viruses at work (HIV, HHV-6B, etc.), and developing a specific medication for each and every one could take decades or longer. To complicate matters even further, viral mutations occur quite rapidly and can quickly make a promising medication useless. And very often the side effects of these drug treatments prove to be far more deadly than the virus itself.

Be it AIDS, cancer, or other deadly and seemingly incurable diseases, current research is confirming that therapies which hold the greatest promise are the more natural, less toxic ones that work in conjunction with the immune system.

A few short years ago, any comment about a substance's ability to "boost the immune system" would have brought howls of laughter and condemnation from the medical community. Nowadays, however, this same concept seems to be all the rage among both traditional and conventional medical practitioners. Slowly but surely, modern medicine is beginning to understand the vital importance of enhancing the body's own disease-fighting capabilities.

Quite Possibly The Most Powerful Immune Booster Known to Man

The work doctor Dr. Mamdooh Ghoneum awakened many in conventional medicine to the enormous benefits of using natural immune-enhancing compounds. Dr. Ghoneum worked with the Department of Immunology at Drew University in Los Angeles. For six years he worked on an amazing product called MGN3. The only published information about it was buried in technical medical journals. Why? The answer may surprise you.

Dr. Ghoneum was educated in Egypt and Japan, and continues to spend much of his time in those countries. His work with MGN3 began in Japan, where he is quite well-known. (He just finished his sixth book in Japanese, all of which deal with cancer.) As with most new therapies, his initial research was performed in vitro and later using animal models. Although the results were extremely positive, he refused to publicize the data until he was sure that similar results could be duplicated in humans. In a world where new fads based on just the slightest hint of benefit pop up almost daily, it's refreshing and unusual to meet someone willing to forgo publicity in an effort to perform actual human studies.

Thanks to Dr. Ghoneum, we had excellent research data showing that MGN-3 was likely the most powerful human immune system booster on the market, prescription or otherwise. Even more amazing is the fact that it had no known side effects. The implications this substance could have had on your personal health are astounding.
