Viruses and Human Disease: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments | Essential Guide for Students & Healthcare Professionals | Study, Research & Patient Care Resource

In my eyes nearly all of the book can be read and understood by anybody, especially because we get much historical information both concerning well know and less known diseases, about where they started, and how they travelled around on the Earth. This is each time shown by on maps with color, and sometimes with columns, showing where and how violent in the actual countries.Concerning dispersions of diseases, in most cases, we read about how animals, or maybe just single persons carried a disease from a small local place to far away larger densely populated areas on earth. As for example on side 328 we read about how in autumn 2002 an epidemic of SARS began in Guangdong Province in China, and in February of 2003 then there 305 cases with 5 deaths. And then a doctor who there had been treating patients traveled to Hong Kong and while staying in hotel then died of SARS, while 10 other hotel guests had been infected and before symptoms, then traveled to Singapore, Vietnam, Canada, and the United States, and there spreading the epidemic. Now we have the SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 which came from Wuhan, where actually being constructed by China together with USA.Microbiological looking at the viruses, we get many good pictures together with colored parallel drawings, thereby helping in more clearly understanding the details on the virus pictures. Opposite to this it’s rather difficult for not doctor educated or studying persons, to first understand the drawing shoving the synthesis going on. While the good drawing by with square boxes for cells, showing how cells by viruses are infected, and results in many new viruses produced, and leaving the dead cells, easily are understood.With the many, just mentioned virus pictures and drawings, actual placed in the chapter 2, “The Structure of Viruses”, side 35 – 62, to me the book absolutely is the best book concerning showing viruses, which I have met so far. I own a bit more than 10 books about viruses and vaccines.As for nearly all books, especially books meant for the doctor education, vaccination is praised to heaven, while actually vaccines newer have cured diseases (discussions about maybe one). For example, already on side 1 we read that around year 1900 yearly 0.8% of the American population died from infection diseases, but today, as the result of vaccines, the rate is less as one-tenth as great. But if we look on the graph on side 2, we see for year 1900, where the graph starts, that then 800 deaths per 100,000 = 0.8%, but when further looking on the graph, we realized that the death rate had fallen from 800 to 200, when in 1940 the penicillin came and to less when in 1954 the Salk vaccine came, and in 1980, the death rate down on around 70. So, I can’t calculate it to one-tenth by vaccination. Besides, what about the falling from 800 to 200, what about result caused by better hygiene? And would the graph still decrease if vaccines never had arrived?Ah, in 1948 Kaufman wrote about all of his 42 patients, with polio had been totally cured by vitamin C. Or the American doctor who in 1920 wrote about how he by vitamin C had cured all of his patients suffering from the Spanish Disease; of course, “forgotten”. During now 80 years it has been known that vitamin C can kill all viruses. I forgot how FDA in 1938 tried to ban vitamin A and D as research showed how they cured persons from diseases. In the books we don’t read about vitamins.Besides, concerning vaccines, on the side 72 we see a graph for polio, and again for praying for the vaccines. The graph is shown logarithmic, and for getting a better reality showing there ought to be parallel but not logarithmic graph. But when such one is missing, we instead can go to the excellent book from Suzanne Humphries, MD & Roman Bystrianyk: “Dissolving Illusions. Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History”, and in this se much of graphs, again and again, showing how the diseases nearly had disappeared when the actual vaccines appeared. And if we want to look at reality about vaccines in another way, we for example we can read in the book from Miller, Neil Z.: “Critical Vaccine Studies”, easy to read for anybody, and to me a wake-up book concerning vaccinating reality, from 438 research results. Besides critical books concerning the actual Covid-19 vaccines, we now among other have books for Mercola and Richard Fleming.All together it’s a very interesting lexicon and teaching book concerning viruses, but as concerning al books for doctor education, missing reality about vaccines opposite to the need for better health. Even though Hippocrates clearly cut it out 2,400 years ago.
