Plagues, Products, and Politics
"Despite enduring limitations and flaws, public health in the United States today enjoys impressive successes compared with both earlier eras and less developed countries. Yet a recurrent, often harrowing feature of the public health landscape has been the sudden emergence of a potentially widespread threat that promises serious harm, and perhaps death, to its victims. These threats include both infectious diseases and product-related hazards. This book examines the U.S. government's handling of such threats to public health and assesses its capacity to respond effectively.The complex and vitally important political and institutional side of such problems has received less frequent attention than it deserves. Focusing on activity devoted to the discovery, investigation, containment, and prevention of disease in the population at large, Christopher Foreman shows how uncertainty and politics complicate crucial stages of policy response, and why that response is easily misinterpreted.Although AIDS is a prominent case study, this is not a book about AIDS alone. Other public health hazards discussed are Lyme disease, swine flu, Legionnaires' disease, Reye's syndrome, silicone breast implants, cyanide-laced Tylenol, toxic shock syndrome, and vaccine injury. Taken together, such hazards are distinctive for their relatively sudden emergence on the public health agenda and their propensity to generate visible victims quickly.Foreman explores the important policy tasks associated with each of these threats and discusses the national government's multiple roles as investigator, educator, regulator, researcher, and funder for these health problems. He calls for a stronger overall regime of public health and a more energetic program of surveillance to identify problems quickly and respond appropriately."
How HIV/Aids Set the Stage for the Covid Crisis
When Covid-19 started to shake the world in early 2020, former medical and science correspondent Neville Hodgkinson felt a disturbing sense of d矇j? vu. This was not primarily because of the damage caused by the virus, but by the global response to it. Powerful, state-funded bureaucracies mishandled the emergency so badly as to devastate millions of lives the world over. Big Brother, Big Pharma, Big Tech, mass media and academia all came together in an unholy alliance that caused a far-reaching betrayal of individual, social and national interests. Hodgkinson was working at the London Sunday Times when a similar global panic arose in the mid-1980s. American government scientists promulgated the idea that a lethal, sexually transmitted virus, HIV, was spreading silently across the world, causing a collapse of the immune system among those infected. Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars flowed into the hands of drug companies, researchers, and countless non-governmental organisations in the belief that the lives of millions were at stake. Hodgkinson reported on Aids conventionally for a few years before learning that several leading scientists had challenged "HIV" as the cause of Aids from the start, but had been silenced amidst the panic and propaganda. The then Sunday Times editor Andrew Neil decided the voices of these scientists deserved to be heard, and in April 1992 the newspaper became the first major media outlet to question the 'deadly virus' theory. Despite widespread condemnation, Neil supported an ever-deepening critique of the theory over a two-year period. In mid-1994, Hodgkinson left the paper to write a book on the controversy. Published in 1996 by Fourth Estate, it became an early victim of 'cancel culture', subsequently topping a list of 'Books You Must Not Read' in a work on political correctness in science. Enormous funds continued to flow into Aids science, long after it became clear that predictions of spread based on the virus theory were false. This biotech bonanza sustained illusions about Aids that continue to this day, and even funded genetic engineering research by American and Chinese scientists that culminated in the Covid catastrophe. The 'cancelled' 1996 book is now being republished inside this new volume, as required reading for anybody who wants to learn the truth of how badly the scientific community can go off track. The striking parallels with Covid are described, along with a summary of the many mistakes that created and sustained the illusory 'HIV' hypothesis.

Getting Better Faster
This book provides a full guide to creating and running an intensive treatment program for youth with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It offers readers a guidebook on how to administer evidence-based treatments for OCD, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), medication management, parent guidance, and family work, in an intensive format to target moderate to severe OCD over a brief period of time. There is a rapidly growing interest in brief intensive treatment modalities in both clinical and research settings. Intensive treatment for OCD condenses evidence-based interventions into more patient contact hours per week than standard weekly therapy, and is widely supported as an efficient, effective, and desirable treatment option. Intensive treatment can be widely applicable to different patient groups, including those with more severe symptoms for whom weekly therapy is not sufficient, and those who have mild or moderate symptoms but do not have access to evidence-based treatments in their geographic region. Despite broad interest in developing concentrated treatment programs for OCD, practitioners face several challenges when trying to launch and maintain these programs. This book will provide a comprehensive guide covering the topics of import for clinicians, researchers and administrators, across different types of institutions and care settings, who want to build an intensive treatment program into their clinical practice across different types of institutions and care settings.
The Charon Club
The AIDS Quilt will be on display in June 2021 for the 40th anniversary of the first cases, but it will be its last appearance as ordered by the heavy hand of the President of the United States. Nine nurses who worked with AIDS patients during the early years of the pandemic travel to Washington, D.C. to see the Quilt. While there, they are called upon by the National Health Center to care for patients with a new, unknown infectious disease and racist views, and they are asked to find the clues to its cause so that a VIP patient can be cured. But the nurses discover that even more challenging than this difficult assignment are the memories they begin to share from their painful AIDS nursing past. The Charon Club, a fictional chronicle of AIDS nurses' memories and experiences, set in the midst of an emerging infectious disease in the eastern United States in 2021, was written by a nurse who worked on an AIDS unit in New York City during the darkest years of the pandemic. It is the first AIDS novel solely devoted to the work of nurses.

The Accidental Plague Diaries, Volume II
Andrew Duxbury is originally from Seattle, Washington. He received his BS in chemistry and biology from Stanford University and his MD from the University of Washington. He spent his early career at UC Davis in Sacramento where he discovered the fascinating world of geriatric medicine and his first husband, Steve Spivey. He later left the West Coast for the Deep South and the geriatrics faculty of the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he continues to teach and practice geriatric medicine. After the untimely death of his first husband, shortly after moving to Alabama, he decided to rebalance his life, beginning a second career as a performer and picking up a second husband, Tommy Thompson, along the way. Tommy also died young, leading to additional introspection and a third career as a writer. Dr. Duxbury continues to muddle through life in Birmingham with his two cats, Oliver and Binx, a host of friends, and his trusty laptop.
Inside is Outside
For over three decades, Dr. Tim McCullough has helped thousands of patients find their way back to health by diagnosing and treating the most common root cause of symptoms: Leaky Gut. Written for patients and doctors from any background, Inside Is Outside offers an approachable guide to how the breakdown of the digestive system is often the key driver of chronic illness, why stomach acid plays an essential role in gut health, and how to heal and repair Leaky Gut. Much like our skin protects us from the outside world, our intestinal wall keeps the "outside" world (such as food, viruses, and toxins) separate from "inside" our bodies. Without sufficient stomach acid, the body cannot properly break down food or eliminate dangerous pathogens, such as viruses and toxins. Over time, this damages the intestinal wall, allowing substances to leak into the bloodstream and triggering the body's immune system, which launches an attack. If this keeps happening day after day, week after week, and year after year, the result of this dysfunction is illness, often in the form of varied and seemingly unrelated symptoms from fatigue and digestive problems to rashes and pain. Medical schools teach doctors the dangerous myth that patients often have too much stomach acid and that antacids are the cure for conditions such as reflux or indigestion; in reality, most people make too little stomach acid. Few doctors actually test stomach acid levels because, until recently, diagnostic testing was expensive and time-consuming or simply unavailable. Now, the Gastro-Test(R) can provide direct measurement of stomach acid levels in under 20 minutes. This simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-use test is the missing link to the accurate diagnosis and treatment of one of the most overlooked causes of illness: deficient hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The bottom line is that you cannot feel well if you do not have a properly functioning digestive system-this is the key to health. Rather than suppressing or covering up symptoms, we can correct underlying dysfunction and support the body in healing itself, starting in the gut. For those who have been suffering from debilitating symptoms or who are looking for relief for patients or loved ones, don't lose hope; there is always an answer.
Healing Shingles and Neuropathic Pain
The neuropathic pain which accompanies shingles, and other conditions, is a pain like no other. It is described as sharp and stabbing or dull and aching. Even the pain of clothing can be exquisitely painful. It interferes with the quality of sleep, with eating, relationships. Shingles cannot be ignored. How can a reactivated childhood virus cause so much pain in older age?Shingles sufferers find that pain relievers like ibuprofen and paracetamol do not even begin to touch the pain but there are nutrients - and other surprising substances- that can help.When faced with an onslaught of neuropathic pain, as can be found in shingles, not only do we need to address the pain but we need to address the underlying damage to the nerves which is causing the pain. Without the latter, the pain will become chronic. The author shows you how to rebuild myelin sheath and deal effectively with the often intractable pain of shingles. She also advises keeping an antiviral medicine kit which may be used whenever viruses strike so that they are stopped dead in their tracks.
