A theory coherent with Multiple Causation. By contrast, henle-koch postulates do not admit multiple causes of a single disorder, nor do they contemplate causal relations not susceptible to experimentation. Early in the twentieth century, German scientists raised questions about the limitation of such postulates and paved the way for new ideas on multifactorial causality.... ...
