Question

Which of the following scientists was NOT a proponent of the germ theory of disease?

Answer 1

Answer:

c) Bechamp

Explanation:

Bechamp proposed what is called the “cellular theory” of disease. This theory opposed Pasteur’s germ theory of disease. Bechamp argued that disease developed in the presence of an unhealthy environment caused by weakness in the body, and to prevent illness a person should no kill the germs but instead promote healthy habits such a balanced diet, hygiene and exercise.
