He was fortunate enough to arrive some months before the death of the great scientist and to receive from him, in per- son, an account of his discoveries and his criticisms of science, ancient and modem. The book irrefutably explains how and why our accepted ideas concerning health and disease are radically wrong. It demonstrates why anyone who critically examines the concepts of infection, immu- nity, degeneration and even genetics, will be faced with countless contradictions and innumerable unexplained ‘facts’. It shows how nobody in the field of conventional medicine can really say why diseases JOURNEY INTO ONENESS A Spiritual Odyssey by Michael J. Roads Published by H | Kramer Inc.

The information imparted and, more importantly, the experiences captured seem to have a magical effect on just about everybody who reads Michael's occur.

This book is the last work by a man who should today be regarded as one of the founders of modern medicine and biology, and should be ranked as one of the giants in the history of science. It is the manuscript that was mentioned above that Dr Levinson obtained from Béchamp himself and had translated into English. So it was first published in English just a few years after Béchamp's death—1915. The Third Element of the Blood con- tains, in great detail, the elements of the microzymian theory of the organisation of living organisms and organic materials.
