Why clean the body?

We have been taught to view illness as an unpredictable visitor—something we «catch» by bad luck. But we do not catch a chronic illness. These conditions take hold, slowly, silently, when the biological terrain degrades over a long period. This is one of the reasons for a detox retreat.

This is, moreover, what Louis Pasteur himself eventually came to admit. The father of the germ theory—the one who asserted that microbes cause disease—modified his position late in life to declare: «The microbe is nothing; the terrain is everything.» A sentence that aligns with the vision of Antoine Béchamp, his contemporary, for whom the biological environment surrounding cells determines their health—and not the other way around.
