When it comes to germ “theory” we are used to hearing names such as Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and Joseph Lister. However, some mainstream sources are now listing Florence Nightingale as one of “germ theory’s key 19th century figures”[1]. As we have not yet mentioned her in our videos, articles or books, we felt it was time to set the record straight…
The legendary nurse is credited with saving thousands of lives thanks to her focus on improved hygiene and environmental conditions. However, this does not equate to the validation of germ theory or the establishment of Koch’s postulates. And we have previously explained why the hand-washing introduced by Ignaz Semmelweis did not support the pathogenicity of microbes either.
Nightingale certainly lived at the same time of Pasteur and Koch and would have been aware of their work. Fortunately she also published enough material at that time to reveal what she really thought about this matter. We are in the middle of a giant scam and exposing how such history is being doctored will help us all see a better way forward.

Great video as always. Wikipedia always a good source for establishment male bovine excrement!
What a great, educated and compassionate person was Florence Nightingale. Thank you Sam for highlighting her achievements and lessons to be learned.
Bonjour, the sameproces has happened always.
For exempel: Jezus Christ ‘his’ words were written down by his apôtres, who didn’t defended him when it was necessary and even betrhed him several times severe. Those traitors has written there story’s long time after. They wanted to be rich or and we’re looking for power, looking for mammon, not God in themselves. Traitors and lyars!
I am looking for the written story by Jezus himself, and Socrates, and Boeddha, and all the other wise man and women whose books they have put aside in caves to tell another more profitable story..
Thanks once again Dr Sam for an informative video.
As a nurse, I loved this video on Florence Nightingale. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand the benefits of cleanliness and hygiene, coupled with a “holistic” care regimen.
I am sending prayers and well wishes to you as you are going through challenging times.
Be strong and thank you once more for all the work that you and Dr Mark does.
Thanks very much for clarifying Florence’s actual position in relationship to germ verses terain theories.
Certainly a person with great observational skills working in the actual environment is far superior to determine the reality than people working in a laboratory.
Thank you very much Dr Sam.
Thank you Dr. Sam. I’ve read Terrain Therapy cover to cover twice now. I have a daily practice of reading for meditation. Terrain Therapy has since been included as one of the meditation books I read. This effectively gives me a much better appreciation of Dr. Williams position, and also a much better understanding of the principles he is describing, as I am reading it in smaller bits. I get the overwhelming impression from this video that Florence’s book should be in my meditation reading list. I’m extremely gratified that you have chosen to bring this book to my attention.
Thanks so much for this perspective! I’m so glad to learn about Florence Nightingale’s views on germ theory and contagion!
Thank you Sam!
Another excellent video!
If you need inspiration for a next one: read ‘free your smile’, my book about terrain theory in dentistry.
The book introduces a new holistic paradigm in dentistry: less is more.
Like Florence: hygiene is essential. It can prevent so much, especially when it includes a wholesome diet.
It also postulates the theory that 75 percent of dental treatment is destructive over-treatment.
No other dental surgeon has ever dared to bring this out in the open…

Since fauxvid you you’ve been my lighthouse of sanity and caring dear Sam or Dr Sam . ⚘️
It’s a privilege and a blessing to have you in my life.
I bless you from my heart
And I thank you for dedicating so much energy and time for the truth
💜🙏💜
A most enlightening video and well researched, which I expect no less from you Dr. Sam. Having listened to many of your discussions, and the Terrain Therapy was memorable from a few years back. I have a feeling that Florence Nightingale may have been a proponent of homeopathy as well. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder in the late 1700’s was notable in his opposition to germ theory as well. He purported that clean housing and fresh food and air were most important. He did maintain that people living in swampy areas, or very damp areas had that as a maintaining cause which meant they were unlikely to get well due to poor living conditions. It would make sense she knew about him and his practices and very likely understood why germ theory was nonsense. It seems it is one of those beliefs that are so imbued in peoples minds, it will take some years to be rid of it. Hence your brave stance and speaking out about it is the start to people becoming more aware about taking better self care with their health. Many thanks to you and Mark for your work.
