The Lie That Built Modern Medicine — Germ vs Terrain Theory (JWP101)
What if modern medicine was built on a lie? I break down the forgotten debate between Germ Theory and Terrain Theory, how politics and profit shaped which one won, and how you can apply this to your life today. I cover this history of Germ and Terrain theory, the Flexner Report’s role in centralizing medical education, the rise of Big Pharma, how broken incentives have distorted science, and how focusing on the body’s “terrain” leads to real health, sovereignty, and resilience.
