Dr Tom Cowan argues that Germ Theory is nonsense and that viruses do not cause disease, and have never been shown to.\n\nAccording to Dr Tom Cowan\u2019s website, he is\n\n--\na well-known alternative medicine doctor, author and speaker, with a common-sense, holistic approach to health and wellness.\n--\n\nBut here\u2019s the exciting bit.\n\n--\nFollowing my heart led me to a conception of science, medicine and the world at large that was radically different from anything I was taught in school. My ideas, such as the heart is not a pump, blocked arteries are not the main cause of heart attacks, vaccines are ineffective and unsafe, cancer is not a genetic disease, and the \u201cwar on cancer\u201d has been an utter failure, have been the subjects of three of my books.\n\nRecently, because of current events, I turned my questioning gaze on the widely accepted theory \u2014so accepted that it now lives in our culture as truth \u2014 that germs (bacteria and viruses) cause disease.\n--\n\nTom\u2019s views echo those of Dr Andrew Kaufman and Dr Sam Bailey and others.\n\nAs the inventor of PCR - Kary Mullis - said, science is not about being right; it\u2019s about being wrong.
