The Immortal Particles Called “Microzymas”: Natural Life Printers and the Key to Understanding Health and Disease

1. Introduction
For over a century, biology and medicine have interpreted the origin of life and the development of disease through the lens of the microbial theory of contagion, formulated and popularized by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch. This paradigm holds that microorganisms—bacteria, viruses, fungi—are the primary cause of diseases, and that controlling their spread is the key to preserving health.

However, a contemporary of Pasteur, Professor Antoine Béchamp (1816–1908)—Pharmacy Associate, Bachelor of Physical Sciences, Doctor of Physical Sciences, Doctor of Medicine, Professor of Physics and Toxicology at the School of Pharmacy in Strasbourg, Professor of Medical Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier, Dean of the Free Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Lille, and Professor of Organic and Biological Chemistry in Lille—experimentally demonstrated that the foundation of life and disease does not lie in invasive external bacteria, but in submicroscopic structures present in all living organisms, which he called microzymas. According to his work, these vital units are indestructible, eternal, and capable of generating all forms of life, including bacteria, depending on the biological terrain in which they exist.

Words from Antoine Béchamp:

“(…) Knowing that the RADICAL ERROR is being taught, this is one more reason to shout from the rooftops that we are wrong and that there are those who deceive, just as Pasteur knowingly deceived before them. It would be cowardly of me to remain silent any longer.
Yes, when in 1876 Pasteur heralded what came to be called his medical work, he knew perfectly well that he was deceiving; knowing full well that the principle of his new medical doctrine, which would become MICROBISM, is absolutely false, never verified nor proven. I affirm that it was accepted so lightly as dogma because it flattered believers with another false dogma of a generally professed scientific doctrine—EVOLUTIONISM—whose fundamental principle is SPONTANEOUS GENERATION…
I have demonstrated that the MICROZYMIC THEORY, based on always verifiable facts—verified even by those who initially denied, then plagiarized them—has finally given medicine an experimental foundation as stable—respecting and explaining the truths acquired over centuries—as the Lavoisierian theory of matter has given to chemistry…” (…)

He later adds:

“A microbe, a cell, a tissue, can always revert to microzymas. These microzymas may—depending on needs and their environment—construct other germs, tissues, or cells… Hence the notion of bacterial POLYMORPHISM, which necessarily passes through the microzymas.
These findings (rigorously scientific), combined with the psychosomatic paradigm, allow us to understand that diseases are always rescue or repair processes—and of life. They only become serious when the environment is deficient: lacking vitamin C, water, rest, nutrients, or bioelectronic balance, etc.”

This perspective not only redefines the origin of life but also suggests a radical shift in our understanding of health and disease.

A quote from Lavoisier further illuminates the confusion between preconceived ideas and scientific certainties:

“…It is not surprising, then, that in the physical sciences in general, assumptions have often been adopted rather than concluded; that suppositions, passed down from age to age, have grown ever more imposing through the weight of the authorities that upheld them, and have eventually been accepted and considered fundamental truths, even by the most brilliant minds…”

2. What Are Microzymas?
Microzymas, as described by Béchamp in his work Le Sang et son Troisième Élément (The Blood and Its Third Element), are ultramicroscopic corpuscles present in all cells and fluids of living organisms—human, animal, and plant.

Key characteristics:

• Universality: Found across all kingdoms of life.
• Indestructibility: Resist extreme temperatures, desiccation, radiation, and chemical agents lethal to any other known living system.
• Extreme longevity: Detected in fossil remains and geological sediments millions of years old.
• Generative capacity: Depending on the state of the terrain, they may remain dormant, multiply, or differentiate into specific microbial forms (pleomorphism).

Béchamp observed that, under balanced conditions, microzymas contribute to the regeneration and maintenance of life. When the internal terrain deteriorates, these same structures can transform into bacteria associated with decomposition or repair processes.

3. Origin and Apparent Eternity
The origin of microzymas remains a mystery. No research has documented a moment when they “reappear.” Their presence in fossils, their resistance to all known methods of destruction, and their biological activity under extreme conditions suggest that they are primordial structures, possibly present since the very beginnings of Earth’s biosphere.

Béchamp, and later Gaston Naessens with his “somatids,” documented that they never truly die: they can enter states of latency and reactivate when the environment becomes favorable. This suggests they may be the true perpetual units of life.

4. How They Are Observed
The discovery and study of microzymas relied on high-resolution microscopy techniques for their time. Today, they can be observed using:

• Dark-field microscopy: allows them to appear as luminous points in constant motion, inside and outside cells.
• Phase-contrast microscopy: highlights their three-dimensional structure and shape changes.
• Electron microscopy: reveals subcellular details and confirms their submicrometric size.

Researchers such as Royal Raymond Rife, Günther Enderlein, Gaston Naessens, and Philippa Uwins have documented structures equivalent to microzymas, under various names (somatids, bions, nanobes). All have agreed on their ubiquity and dynamism.

5. The Biological Terrain as a Decisive Factor
The concept of biological terrain refers to the set of internal conditions of an organism: biochemical composition, pH, oxygenation, nutrient availability, electromagnetic balance, and the state of the extracellular matrix.

Béchamp demonstrated that it is not the bacteria that determine disease, but rather the condition of the terrain. In a healthy organism, microzymas maintain homeostasis; in a weakened or intoxicated organism, the same microzymas can reorganize into opportunistic microbial forms.

This pleomorphism explains why attempts to “eliminate” bacteria without restoring the terrain often fail or lead to new dysfunctions.

6. Differences from the Classical Microbial Theory

This difference in approach radically transforms the way we understand and treat disease.

7. Implications for Medicine and Biology
Accepting the microzymian hypothesis implies:

• Moving from a “war on microbes” to managing the internal terrain.
• Understanding that many diseases are not external invasions but adaptive and reparative processes.
• Reinterpreting phenomena such as cancer, recurring infections, and so-called chronic illnesses.
• Developing therapies that support homeostasis rather than suppress symptoms.

Germanic New Medicine (GNM), proposed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, aligns with this vision by integrating the role of biological conflicts as triggers for terrain changes and the activation of special biological programs aimed at restoring cellular homeostasis and peace within the individual’s terrain, by resolving the biological conflict that “disordered the terrain.”

8. Conclusion
Microzymas represent a bridge between molecular biology and the biophysics of life. They are the vital spark that sustains biological organization and the common element that unites humans, animals, and plants in a shared life process.

Far from being a historical curiosity, the work of Béchamp and his successors opens the door to a new medical paradigm where the key is not to destroy microbes, but to understand and care for the terrain that gives them shape and function.

Accepting this principle not only allows us to better understand health and disease, but also to recognize that life, in its smallest essence, may be indestructible.

“Recognizing microzymas as the foundation of life does not exclude the possibility of a divine origin; on the contrary, it may be understood as a tangible manifestation of the intelligence and order with which creation was designed.”
