Le pandemie sono grandi eventi trasformazionali. Si abbattono su sistemi che si credono consolidati, aprendo crepe e facendo tremare tutto. Destabilizzano, insomma. Suscitano un sentimento ambivalente: paura e incertezza da una parte, ma anche meraviglia, perché all'interno delle loro pieghe ci sono enormi opportunità. Di comprensione del mondo, di aggiornamento del nostro modo di relazionarci a esso.

A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations.

And how, next time, could we do better? Because there will be a next time.

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?

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.
