There are 2 points of differences:jesse1746 wrote: I personally fail to see a difference between terrain theory and environmental theory except it is meant to say that the condition of the human body and the condition of environment are not to be linked when it comes to the concept of disease when going by those two theories.
Or I guess what I'm saying is I don't believe it is environment theory vs terrain theory but environment + terrain theory.
1. Bechamp's terrain theory assumes that the body is the terrain, not the external environment. The body is unhealthy, that's why germs come. This is compared with germ theory because of the argument of which one causes the disease: the germ that comes to the body, or the body that is unhealthy. Neither is about the external environment as the cause of disease. On the other hand, environmental disease is separate from those two, and can be applied to both.
2. Bechamp's theory is rejected by medical science, while environmental disease is accepted and studies comprehensively.
Conflating Bechamp's theory and environmental disease can cause misunderstanding, as how Lewk's reply shown. This is similar to the mixing and matching of the definitions, concepts, and theories of "energy" from different fields of study:
