What Dr. Béchamp is describing is a foundational concept.
According to his experiments and observations, the tiny particles he named 'microzymas' have an active role in sustaining, and also, in terminating life. Using the syllable '-zyme' (now also used in the word 'enzyme') to indicate this principle of causing 'fermentation' (activity) Béchamp searched for and found the same particles and activity even in limestone, apparently from the ancient...

Une étude consacrée à un essai du célèbre embryologue Wilhelm Roux
En 1881, le grand embryologiste allemand Wilhelm Roux publie cet essai dont la densité et l'originalité ne cessent, encore aujourd'hui, d'étonner. Inspiré par les idées de Charles Darwin, il cherche à en prolonger la portée en imaginant l'organisme comme un territoire o des formes variables de sélection naturelle opèrent sur toutes les entités, de la cellule à l'organe....

Une remise en question du déterminisme génétique
Une révolution se produit actuellement en biologie. Les êtres vivants ne sont pas gouvernés par un programme génétique omnipotent. Il est maintenant clairement démontré que le hasard se niche au coeur des organismes, dans le fonctionnement des gènes et des cellules, et y joue un rle encore largement sous-exploré. Alors que pendant longtemps, la biologie a été dominée par des théories...

From biology to economics to information theory, the theme of interdependence is in the air, framing our experiences of all sorts of everyday phenomena. Indeed, the network may be the ascendant metaphor of our time. Yet precisely because the language of interdependence has become so commonplace as to be almost banal, we miss some of its most surprising and far-reaching implications. In Interdependence, biologist Kriti Sharma offers a compelling alternative...

The subject of age has ever been one which has attracted human thought. It leads us so near to the great mysteries that all thinkers have contemplated it, and many are the writers who from the literary point of view have presented us, sometimes with profound thought, often with beautiful images connected with the change from youth to old age. We need but to think of two books familiar more or less to us all, that ancient classic, Cicero's De Senectute,...

We're born, we live and then we die, a biological legal contract that we all have had to sign up for individually for the last 100,000-years. We have tried to break from it for nearly the same amount of time through magic, religion and now science and medicines. We have even taken extreme measures to reduce the bluntness of it all, but no one has, yet so far been, able to stop the fundamental, integrated clause of this contract, time. Sam's about...
