"Best book I've ever read on the fundamental elements of life. Bechamp is one of the geniuses of all time."

During his long career as an academic and researcher in nineteenth century France, Antoine Béchamp was widely known and respected as a teacher, an academic, and a researcher. As a leading academic, his work was well documented in scientific circles.

Few made as much use of this fact as Louis Pasteur, who based much of his career on plagiarising and distorting Béchamp’s research. In doing so, Pasteur secured for himself an undeserved place in the history of medical science. 'The Blood and its Third Element' is Béchamp’s explanation of his position, and his defense of it against Pasteur’s deceptions.
