Antoine Béchamp
Antoine Béchamp was a 19th-century French chemist and microbiologist known for his alternative theories on disease causation, particularly his belief that microorganisms arise from the tissues of the body rather than being the primary cause of disease. His ideas were largely overshadowed by those of Louis Pasteur, who established the germ theory of disease, but Béchamp's theories have seen a resurgence in some alternative medicine circles, often being referenced by modern wellness advocates.
