I never knew or thought about the association with Listerine. Pasteur has pasteurization, but Lister has a mouthwash..

The great current scandal in terms of modern medicine not being honest is colloidal silver

Colloidal silver effectively kills all viruses and bacteria the medical establishment knows it but because you can make it for free at home and they have nothing to do with it they will only tell you that it works topically and not internally

Silver is in 23,000 current approved medical products

And we also have “Zeros to heroes: Ulcer truth was hard to stomach”

No one would believe that bacteria caused stomach ulcers – until Barry Marshall swallowed some

BACK in 1984, a young Australian doctor called Barry Marshall swallowed a nasty-tasting solution of bacteria. This was no accident. He did it to convince his peers that his suspicions about a highly prevalent disease were not as far-fetched as they thought.

In 1981, Marshall had met pathologist Robin Warren, who had found curved bacteria in inflamed stomach tissue. In further studies, they found that this bacterium, later named Helicobacter pylori, was present in most people who had inflammation or ulcers of the stomach or gut. Like two long-forgotten German researchers in 1875, they concluded that these bacteria were to blame.

“I was met with constant criticism that my conclusions were premature,” Marshall later wrote. “My results were disputed and disbelieved, not on the basis of science but because they simply could not be true.”

Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was ridiculed so much for his "hand-washing" suggestion that he was forced to leave Vienna and eventually died in a mental asylum.

The science was settled by hundreds of scientists, you see.

It’s amazing how little the attitudes of medicos have changed.

I found it interesting to learn that Joseph Lister treated and save the remaining leg of William Ernest Henley, the author of the poem, Invictus.
