Este libro te permitirá conocer la lepra desde la conciencia de un ser humano, como tu, que antes de nacer, dentro del vientre de su madre diagnosticada con esta enfermedad, ya transitaba libre de contagio. Atravesó la etapa de su niñez acompañada de su propia imaginación que le creó un campo de protección para que inconscientemente pudiera salir ilesa de todos los efectos de la lepra (aislamiento obligatorio, separación familiar, pobreza económica, estigma, dolor y sufrimiento).

Una historia de las catástrofes deslumbrante, original y repleta de ideas para el futuro que pone en perspectiva el ya conocido como annus horribilis.

In January 2020, Donald Trump was on the fast track to an easy re-election. While his first two years had been stymied by House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and the Democrats, his third year had been one of remarkable success. The United States had low unemployment and was making strides across the globe. The president's rallies were well-attended, and he was being projected to win four hundred electoral votes and about forty-five states. Then came COVID-19.

To the world's public health authorities, Covid-19 would either be a deadly disease for some, or it would be a simple respiratory illness for most—cleared up in a couple of weeks. But then tens of millions around the world got sick and stayed sick. With scientists and doctors caught off guard, these patients often found solace only in themselves, organizing support groups across continents while ill in bed. An innovative band of patients researched the disease themselves, flipping the script and illustrating a new paradigm for research. 

En diciembre de 2019 la noticia de una neumonía desconocida que asolaba a la ciudad china de Wuhan parecía un relato de ciencia ficción. Algunos meses más tarde, las es-cenas apocalípticas de metrópolis desiertas, hospitales desbordados y millones de personas confinadas se repetían por todo el mundo: era el inicio de la pandemia del coronavirus.

In My Quest for Health Equity, Dr. Satcher takes an inspiring and instructive look inside his fifty-year career to shed light on the challenge and burden of leadership. Explaining that he has thought of each leadership role—whether in academia, community, or government—as an opportunity to move the needle toward health equity, he shares the hard-won lessons he has learned over a lifetime in the medical field.

Neueste Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung: Wie das Corona-Virus unser Gehirn schädigt und wie man das Risiko für Long-Covid minimieren kann. Erschöpfung, Gehirnnebel, Konzentrationsprobleme: Etwa zehn Prozent aller Corona-Patienten beklagen diese und ähnliche Langzeitfolgen noch Monate nach der Infektion, selbst nach einem milden Krankheitsverlauf – auch wenn die Betroffenen zuvor jung, gesund und leistungsstark waren.

Sebbene la principale preoccupazione relativa al COVID-19 riguardasse le sue conseguenze, soprattutto in termini di problemi respiratori, i progressi nella conoscenza di questa malattia hanno permesso di capire come i suoi effetti si estendono oltre i polmoni, e possono raggiungere ed influenzare il sistema nervoso. Questo testo affronta le conseguenze che il COVID-19 ha nel cervello, da una doppia prospettiva.

Were you or a loved one affected by the current pandemic? Did the requirement for wearing masks protect you from the transmission of COVID? Or were the mandates forced on us for more covert purposes? What is their effectiveness? What are the consequences of forced mandates and what are the risks moving forward? After we look at some of the masks of the past, we will take a look at what the top scientists, virologists, and professionals in the industry have recently uncovered. Their findings will shock you!

Taking Immunizations Safely is an absolute necessity if you want to keep both you and your family healthy. The body responds to all bacteria and viruses the exact same way, so we need to understand how vaccines and booster shots work if we are going to benefit from them. Immunizations are a weakened form of a pathogen meant to prepare the body for exposure. However, they won't increase protection if the body's immune system is not supported with the right nutrition. Proper nutrition will allow vaccinations to be taken safely so they can do the job that they are designed to do.

The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated—both a function of the “germ” and the “terrain”—the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski succinctly describes emerging science on the virome and how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infection. As we move forward from the tragedy of COVID-19, it is essential that we come together to learn from our mistakes and work hard—and together—to prevent a similar crisis in the future.

SARS­CoV­2 hält seit über zwei Jahren die Welt in Atem. Doch wo liegt der Ursprung des Virus und wie genau ist es entstanden? Wie ein Krimi ­nal kommissar hat sich der erfahrene Molekular­biologe Günter Theißen auf Spurensuche begeben und seit Anbeginn der Pandemie alle verfügbaren Fakten zusammenge tragen. Schon bald musste er jedoch feststellen, dass sich die Mehrzahl der Fachleute und ein Großteil der Medien auf eine rein natürliche Entstehung des Virus festgelegt haben—ohne hieb­ und stichfeste Beweise! Warum besteht so wenig Interesse daran, die Wahrheit zu erfahren?

El arma más fuerte contra la pandemia es la verdad. He aquí el relato definitivo de la epidemia de gripe de 1918. Magistral en su amplitud de perspectiva y profundidad de investigación, La gran gripe nos proporciona un modelo preciso y esclarecedor ahora que nos enfrentamos a nuevas pandemias...

I USA begynder pludselig soldater at bløde fra munden og ørerne. Året er 1918, og den mystiske sygdom spreder sig med lynets hastighed, og et par uger senere er hele tre kontinenter påvirkede. Det følgende dør halvtreds millioner mennesker døde. Sygdommen, der kaldes den spanske syge, fordi spanske aviser er de første til at skrive om den, er forårsaget af en virus. Nyere undersøgelser viser, at den spanske syge var en fugleinfluenza, der muterede, så den kunne inficere mennesker.

Pest, kopper og kolera. Det er blot nogle af de epidemier, der gennem tiden har været med til at slå millioner og atter millioner af mennesker ihjel. I Mikroskopiske dræbere kan du læse om nogle af de historiske sygdomme, der er gået amok og har spredt sig i rasende fart – og du kan læse om nogle af de sygdomme, vi måske skal frygte i fremtiden.

Data and marketing consultant and statistical sage to presidential candidates, governors, businesses, and the real powers-that-be, epidemiologists, Justin Hart catalogs in a terrifying-but-sprightly manner the folly and psychosis produced by the pandemic and diagnoses the societal destruction that the massive overresponse to the COVID virus has wreaked, as well as what can be done to stop the madness and bring the world back to a modicum of rationality.

Munken Gherardo var sidst i 1348 helt alene tilbage i det kloster i Sydfrankrig, som han året før havde delt med sin prior og 34 ordensbrødre. Som i langt de fleste klostre efterlevede munkene nemlig reglen om at tage sig af syge og døende. De var derfor særlig sårbare over for den smitsomme pest, der i 1347 kom til Europa om bord på italienske handelsskibe. Lige før pesten ramte, havde Europa en befolkning på omkring 75 millioner. Fem år efter var tallet 40 millioner.

Bill Gates cree que la respuesta es sí, y en este libro explica de un modo claro y convincente qué deberíamos haber aprendido de la COVID-19 y qué podemos hacer cada uno de nosotros para evitar un desastre parecido. Basándose en los conocimientos de los principales expertos mundiales y en su propia experiencia combatiendo enfermedades mortales a través de la Fundación Gates, logra, en primer lugar, ayudarnos a entender, desde un punto de vista científico, cómo funcionan las enfermedades infecciosas.
