There are small invisible to eyes ‘alien’ like ‘entities’ which enter your body!
Once they do; they make you sick!
Sometimes they take full control of your body in spite of being so small that you cannot even imagine or even see!
Sounds ridiculous!?
Now when you put it like that it does sound crazy!
In the novel Bellevue by Robin Cook he mentions just the thing!
The theory and reality of today was the plot of science of yesterday!
The above theory sounds like the screenplay of Predator part 4! But it is actually the most accurate scientific theory modern medicine works on now!
The Germ Theory!
But when it was proposed; the biggest and the most intelligent and the most respected scientists and doctors all over the world not only ridiculed it but also called it pseudo science!
In fact several prominent individuals, particularly those within the medical and scientific establishments wedded to older theories, initially ridiculed the germ theory and its early proponents, including Dr. Henry Bastian, Rudolf Virchow, and Mary Baker Eddy!
Dr. Henry Bastian was a prominent English surgeon and physician and one of the most vocal opponents of germ theory, even after Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch provided substantial evidence!
He staunchly advocated for the discredited theory of spontaneous generation, which held that microbes appeared as a result of disease and decay (symptoms), rather than being the cause of it. He wrote books and articles against germ theory, influencing many in the medical community!
Rudolf Virchow is a well known academician in the medical world! There are many terms named after him even now! But even this highly influential German physician, pathologist, and statesman, mocked Louis Pasteur’s ideas.
He was a strong proponent of cellular pathology and once he famously boasted that he had never brought his eye near a microscope in this context. He found the idea that ubiquitous, tiny microbes could be responsible for widespread illnesses implausible at first!
Many doctors were personally offended by the implication that their own “uncleanliness” was killing patient!
British surgeon Joseph Lister, a pioneer of antiseptic surgery, was also widely mocked by his peers when he introduced the use of carbolic acid to sterilize surgical instruments, wounds, and the air during operations!
Critics found the idea of invisible germs absurd and the practice cumbersome, but Lister’s success eventually proved them wrong!
So next time someone comes up with an absurd statement which only ‘sounds’ absurd to the very ‘intelligent’ you; do not be in a hurry to dismiss it! It may be the next ‘Germ theory!’ Or it could very well be the ramblings of a deranged mind! Your choice!
Choice also is to listen to great music like carnatic music by Venkateswaran Dakshinamoorthy!
Now don’t worry about the little ‘aliens’ and sleep!
Shubh ratri…
