Damaged Goods?: Women Living With Incurable Sexually Transmitted Diseases4 reviews
Adina Nack

Temple Univ Press, 2008

I'm my daughter's mother again
As a mother of a young woman living with HPV, this book helped me understand her feelings and fears. Whether your daughter is 13 or 30, this is a must read for parents. After sharing this book ,we were able to sit down and begin a dialogue. Her mood swings and anger that had been directed at me were really symptoms of her trying to cope with her diagnosis. I didn't realize how alone and ... 		  
  







  
  
Healing Lyme: Natural Healing And Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis And Its Coinfections33 reviews
Stephen Harrod Buhner

Raven Press, 2005

We have seen some of these herbal recommendations help patients
Healing Lyme is easily the best discussion of Lymes disease and Lymes treatment, which I have found. Desperation Medicine by Ritchie Shoemaker, is an easier read, since it contains numerous case histories, but the well researched discussions of volumes of peer reviewed scientific herbal treatment research make this book more useful for treatment of chronic Lymes disease. In reality, over ninety ...

Medical Microbiology: with STUDENT CONSULT Access (Medical Microbiology)15 reviews
Patrick R. Murray, Michael A. Pfaller, ...

Mosby, 2005

Fantastic book ...
I used this book for my undergrad class and luckily my med school also uses this. As well as my husband has a previous copy that he used in med school. The text is very thorough, although it was lacking in a basic classification of bacteria, that would have been nice. (Like a chart of all gram - on one side and all gram +). Just gave a previous edition to a physician for reference and he ...

The authors present six very different styles of evangelism. Readers will learn that they can communicate their faith in a style that fits them. They do not have to be Billy Graham or anyone else. They can be a first rate version of themselves, as God ...

Sustaining Life: How Human Health Depends on Biodiversity2 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

A must have for conservationists and general public (and cheap!!)
First the more practical stuff. I think the book is very cheap, because I found for a much higher price somewhere else, but also because of its size and print quality (I expected something smaller). And it arrived very fast (I got super-fast shipping for free). Now the book. I like that it has a lot of figures. I'm a scientist and usually have to read long, black and white papers, with only ...

Starting at birth, the new, innocent body becomes home to a host of microscopic invaders. These days, at that same instant, forces are brought to bear to stop or repel that horde. As Jessica Sachs explains in this comprehensive account, we are only learning the first lessons in what microbes mean in our lives.

The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance68 reviews
Laurie Garrett

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995

More riveting than The Hot Zone
If you liked The Hot Zone, you will love this book. The Hot Zone told the scary story of a variant of Ebola that turned out to be harmless to humans. The Coming Plague narrates the history of little-known but lethal diseases such as Machupo, Ebola, Four-Corners Hantavirus, Lassa Fever, Marburg and others. In each of these cases, the list of victims was relatively small, but the onset and progress ...

Becoming a Contagious Christian: Six Sessions on Communicating Your Faith in a Style That Fits You ...2 reviews
Mark Mittelberg, Lee Strobel, ...

Zondervan, 2007

Excellent study to show Christians a way to witness
I would like to congratulate Mark Mittleburg, Lee Strobels and Bill Hybels for their excellent work. The 6 lessons have been a Godsend to our Discipleship Training group that meets every Sunday at 6PM. Christians need this information in order to witness productively. The Bible states that "we are know by our fruits". This study highlights the "how to" kind of witness we need so desparately. ...

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Autoimmune Disorders: The Revolutionary, Drug-Free Treatments for ...6 reviews
Stephen B. Edelson, Deborah Mitchell

Grand Central Publishing, 2003

Excellent book
Don't let the previous review scare you. The quackwatch guys are the quacks themselves. Barrett, who heads up the quackwatch "research", is not a board certified doctor of anything and has been sued a bunch of times. The book itself is excellent and describes a treatment protocol that works. This protocol brought me back from near death when no local doctor could even figure out what was wrong ... 		  
  







  
  
The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague In History177 reviews
John M. Barry

Viking Adult, 2004

Terrifying
Once upon a time I read The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story, a book about emergent viruses like ebola, then read Stephen King's The Stand, which painted a graphic picture of life during and after a deadly plague. I thought this was the most terrifying combination of books I could read. I was wrong. The Great Influenza is more blood-curdling than all that. And John Barry keeps repeating "and ...
