Béchamp claimed to have discovered that the "molecular granulations" in biological fluids were actually the elementary units of life. He named them microzymas—that is, "tiny enzymes"—and credited them with producing both enzymes and cells while "evolving" amid favorable conditions into multicellular organisms. Béchamp also denied that ...

Jul 30, 2019 · Much of Béchamp’s work centered on the biological role of fermentation. 18 He coined the term “microzymas” (from zyme, the ancient Greek word for a ferment) 19 to describe tiny particles that he viewed as the “primary anatomical elements of all living beings”—“the beginning and end of all organization.” 20 Béchamp viewed these particles as livin...
In the late 19th century, Antoine Béchamp proposed that tiny organisms he termed microzymas, and not cells, are the fundamental building block of life. Béchamp claimed these microzymas are present in all things—animal, vegetable, and mineral—whether living or dead. Microzymas coalesce to form blood clots and bacteria.
Béchamp called them Microzymas. Béchamp was able to prove that all animal and plant cells contain these tiny particles which continue to live after the death of the organism and out of which microorganisms can develop. In his book Mycrozymas, Béchamp laid the foundation for the concept of pleomorphism.

Mar 24, 2017 · A century and a half ago, Antoine Béchamp (1816-1908) declared that the microzyma is the essential unit of life. As a medical doctor, microscopist, and cytologist (a specialist in the study of cells), he observed tiny, round granular bodies within the cells that glistened as tiny sparkles of refracted light.
