1. Scabies: "You cannot cure the itch by dynamic medication. The acari should be killed on the spot. (Best of Burnett XVII-HL Chitkara).
2. Kents Lectures on Philosophy Chapter V" You may destroy the bacteria but yet not the disease. Bacteria have a use We have the cause of phthisis not in the bacteria, but in the virus which the bacteria are sent to destroy. Man lives longer with the bacteria than without them. If we could put a fluid into the economy that would destroy the bacteria, that consumptive would soon die."
3. Margaret Tyler: "Hahnemanns Conception of Chronic Diseases as caused by parasitic micro-organisms" Not one of the great teachers since Hahnemanns days, not even Burnett, who with his vaccinosis came nearest to it, has grasped the true inwardness of Psora, that the cause of disease is the result of infection caused by parasitic micro-organisms, a contagion which lies smoldering and becomes latent in the organism."
4. Bacteria, their origin (J. H. Allen, Chronic Diseases Part II page 162-165) Beauchamp says" When the cells of the living organisms are diseased, it means the micro-organisms are diseased and they give rise to (what is erroneously called) pathogenic bacteria. Thus pathogenic bacteria are not the cause of morbid conditions but a result thereof." He thus clearly proves that bacteria evolve through the influence of a life process of degenerative nature such as an acute or chronic miasm.
5. John Patterson (of Intestinal Nosodes) aligned himself with Beauchamp and once said that Pasteurs views were no more than a half truth. Dr John considered Tylers lectures on microorganisms as being the cause of the disease is erroneous and her interpretation of Hahnemann equally erroneous. His emphasis throughout is not on infection but on "the soil" (The Homoeopath, Geoffrey Brown, Vol. 8 No. 4).
6. Dr. Rene Dubos of the Rockefeller Institute (a foremost scientist in the field of antibiotics) says that there is a strong evidence to suggest that bacteria and viruses become dangerous only when the setup is fixed for them. Otherwise even the most virulent of them are harmless. Every person carries in the body throughout life a host of supposedly deadly microbes which live in blood and tissues as harmless guests until something happens to start them on a rampage "something" or a combination of "somethings" of which the present day physician is usually quite ignorant.
   
   More than a century ago at the dawn of the germ theory (advanced by Pasteur and Koch) one of Kochs opponents obtained a tumbler full of the live virus from the Hamburg dead, and he and his students drank them. None developed any symptoms of Cholera a similar experiment was performed with the same result with the tubercle bacillus. These experiments showed that micro-organisms were not the cause of the disease but only secondary invaders of diseased tissues. The real precipitating factor remains unknown. (Editorial The Homoeopathic Recorder, Vol LXIX 1955, Page 221-222).
7. Dr. M.L. Kothari in Medicine Futura Homoeopathy, Vol. 4/1-"What antibiotics do is to push out one species allow another to come in a genuine antibiotic you and I will not survive. Man is at the mercy of microbes. We are increasingly growing up with immunodeficiency then the AIDS virus which was quietly lurking in an corner now finds a suitable soil."

Dr. Lakshminarayanan concludes (we abbreviate). "It is left to such outstanding bacteriologists like Beauchamp, Fleming, Patterson, Dubos and critical individuals like Dr. M.L. Kothari to present the "bacteria causing disease" slogan in the correct perspective. The British homoeopaths from Burnett downwards were and still are basically allopaths with Homoeopath superimposed. It is our experience that to totally forget the theories and training acquired and substitute totally new knowledge is one of the most difficult exercises. So the average physician with allopathic training has a sneaking love of bactericidal agents, antiseptics et al. I would request earnest seekers of truth like SPK and SMG to study the subject indepth and not get carried away by Dr. M.L. Tylers faux pas (my respect for her tremendous services to Homoeopathy remains undiminished).
