The latest headlines feature the human papillomavirus (HPV) alleged to cause cervical cancer and the avian flu virus  H5N1. The public is also continually terrorized by reports about SARS  BSE  hepatitis C  AIDS  Ebola  and polio. However  this virus mayhem ignores very basic scientific facts: the existence  the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven. The authors of Virus Mania  journalist Torsten Engelbrecht and doctor of internal medicine Claus Khnlein  show that these alleged contagious agents are  in fact  particles produced by the cells themselves as a consequence of certain stress factors such as drugs  malnutrition  pesticides and heavy metals. The central aim of this book is to steer the discussion back to a real scientific debate and put medicine back on the path of an impartial analysis of the facts. It will put medical experiments  clinical trials  statistics and government policies under the microscope  revealing that the people charged with protecting our health and safety have deviated from this path. To substantiate these statements  the authors cite dozens of highly renowned scientists and present approximately 1 100 pertinent scientific references. The topic of this book is of pivotal significance. The pharmaceutical companies and top scientists rake in enormous sums of money by attacking germs and the media boosts its audience ratings and circulations with sensationalized reporting (the coverage of the New York Times and Der Spiegel are specifically analyzed). \"The primary purpose of commercially-funded clinical research is to maximize financial return on investment  not health \" says John Abramson of Harvard Medical School. Virus Mania will inform you on how such an environment took root-and how to empower yourself for a healthy life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647224143925,"sku":"ByrdShop_1425114679","price":55.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781425114671.jpg?v=1781690020","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/virus-mania-how-the-medical-industry-continually-invents-epidemics-making-billiondollar-profits-at-our-expense-9781425114671","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
