🕰️ This was recorded in 2022.
The book, titled What Really Makes You Ill?: Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Disease Is Wrong, explains what causes illness and why all your previous beliefs about disease are probably false.
Germ theory, the mainstream pillar of modern medicine, pushes the idea that tiny invaders like bacteria and viruses alone spark disease, leading to endless drugs and vaccines.
But dig deeper, for example, into Antoine BĂ©champ's work and you'll find that illness stems from imbalances in the body's internal environment, like poor nutrition, toxins, or stress.
This angle empowers individuals to heal through lifestyle shifts rather than pills, which explains why it's sidelined—it makes far less sense for Big Pharma's bottom line, as true prevention cuts into their lucrative symptom-chasing empire.
The book's authors, Dawn Lester and David Parker, joined me to chat about what really makes you ill.
