In the mid-19th century, there was a fierce debate between the famous French professor of medicine Antoine Bécham and the chemist Louis Pasteur
about the nature of microbes and infections. Antoine Béchamps was the third French professor to make the statement: “la microbe ce n’est rien; le terrain c’est
tout. ” (“MICROBES DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING, EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THE“ BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BODY ”).
The concept of the “biological environment of an organism” is not new, but it was only 50 years ago that we had the opportunity to assess its potential using
objective and reproducible measurement methods. This is largely the merit of another Frenchman – Louis-Claude Vincent.
