Every one should read this book........2007-04-23
Excellent report on how natural alternatives can overcome MRSA, and other dangerous bacteria and virus's. Many of the above are untreatable through traditional medicine. Dr. Cass's thoughts on vaccination is a must read for anyone with children or who may be contemplating a flu shot. The oreganol that he recomends cured a chronic disease in my son of an eight year duration. Anyone worried about West Nile Virus needs to read this book.
Commonsense, Rockbottom Medical Advice (Sound).......2007-01-28
This book is a very positive and helpful advice-giving service to all who read it. First of all, Dr. Cass Ingram IS a real doctor WHO CARES about US, the human beings, who need his expertise. If you feel any concern about yourself or your family, then this is the book that you must have. It is so refreshing and tells the TRUTH about what can be done to alleviate illnesses and even cure some otherwise fatal diseases. Best yet, the advice offered is TRUE and saves lives, yours and your loved ones, friends and acquaintances.
Now if you want to waste time and find things to "pick at", just keep on going to those who have given you "no results." Think about any so-called professional that has continued to have you come back to them, yet they have offered you no alleviation of pain, no suggested tests or alternatives that will help you. They could even send you to specialists that could give further in-depth medical advice. But, they have failed to do just that.
Whatever you do, remember that you must let commonsense guide you. You really can determine for yourself how to better your life. Yes, there are many facets to our lives. If you don't put your health first, then you will remain in the same sad, unhealthy status.
Once you have explored appropriate health decisions for yourself, then you can delve into all of the other wonderful things that LIFE has to offer.

BOOK'S EXCELLENT; Don't waste time on Graziano's comment.......2005-06-03
The book is worth reading if you are concerned about curing many difficult viral, bacterial or fungal infections, some of which conventional medicine can't do anything about. Dr. Ingram's Oreganol has been so effective for my friends and me that I'd recommend just trying it out to see if it works.
Reviewer Phillip Graziano's review DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! below sounds like an anti-natural medicine lobbyist trying to bad mouth proven natural cures that work. His comment "Probably not much substance there" suggests that he has not even read the book. Yet he's so eager to rate the book poorly. Next, check out Graziano's other reviews -- he has given reviews only about alternative medicine books, and his standard rating is... you guessed it...one star. He seems to have something against Dr. Ingram, and I cannot believe that he has taken the trouble to read ALL of Ingram's books. Be careful of such reviews.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!.......2005-04-05
If you purchase any of Dr. Cass Ingram's books, you are setting yourself up to verbal manipulation. I personally have met Dr. Ingram and found him to be pompus, arrogant and rude. He claims oregano cures everything yet he has deep dark circles under his eyes and is always grabbing his neck. He makes medical claims, yet has little research to back anything up and his books are repetitious and constantly plugg the North American Herb & Spice product line. Gee, I wonder if he has any interest in the company? I heard Dr. Ingram say that he was going to try and finish a book within a month. People spend hard-earned money on his books and claims to spend one month to write a book. Probably not much substance there.
you NEED this book!!!!.......2005-03-21
This book is a MUST for anyone interested in their health and what to do in the case of a rampant killer flu, which is immiment and planned. Dr. Ingram is truly a genius with a caring and merciful heart for people and their well-being. He lays down the protocol regarding many different scenarios,and also goes into the history of disease and how the American system, aka: allopathic drs, has POORLY dealt with disasters in the past, and not much has changed, especially since we have virtually NO broadspectrum antibiotics, and the last place you want to go when a pandemic breaks out is the hospital. He tells you the difference between treating grownups as opposed to treating small children, and how to stay healthy so that your immume system can fight for you, as it should be. I'm a nurse with 20 yrs experience, and hospitals are totally unprepared for any biological or major epidemic outbreak. The real fact being, they're not even preparing for it, though they also know it's coming. Most hospitals have only 1 or 2 isolation rooms, and they're doing nothing to change that. Oh they're building alright, but it's not to protect the public, but to bring in more money by adding food courts, and retail shopping inside of hospitals. Dr. Ingram is known for his research on the Oregano spice to kill all major germs, bacteria, etc. with wondrous results. You get the spice extracts through the North American Herb and Spice Co., and is well worth the money spent. The Oreganol liquid comes with a dropper, and is around $29.00, but this stuff will knock out any pathogen from within 20 min to a few days. He also goes into the 1918 flu pandemic that killed 40 million people worldwide, and how it was actually a hemorrhagic disease, attacking previously healthy people between the ages of 20 and 44, often people would just fall dead before any symptoms manifested. People now have much more suppressed immune systems due to pollution in the air, water, food with all the additives and preservatives and pesticides, lack of fresh food, eating too much processed food. You can hear dr.Ingram on www.thepowerhour.com every Thursday in their 3rd hour of broadcast, from 10:30-11:00 e.s.t., on shortwave it's 9.840, he takes calls from listeners during this time. Don't mess with your health, get the book and get informed and prepared!!!!!!!
Book Description
Everything readers ever wanted to know about deadly viruses, killer parasites, flesh-eating microbes, and other lifethreatening beasties but were afraid to ask
What disease, known as "the White Death" has killed 2 billion people, and counting?
What fatal disease lurks undetected in air conditioners and shower heads, waiting to become airborne?
How lethal is the Ebola virus, and will there ever be a cure for it?
How do you catch flesh-eating bacteria?
Killer Germs takes readers on a fascinating (sometimes horrifying) journey into the amazing world of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and worms and explores the roles they have played in shaping the course of human history. From biblical plagues, to the AIDS crisis, to supergerms of the future, this updated and revised edition of the original covers the whole gamut of diseases that have threatened humanity since its origins.
It also includes a new chapter on the history of bioterrorism and the deplorable role it has played and is likely to play in the phenomenal diversity of diseases.

More Than I Needed To Know.......2007-09-17
Believe it or not, I found this book in a basket of "things to do," at a home of a friend, while using the lavatory. Needless to say, the title caught my attention, as my mind swiftly took stock of all the potential creepies and crawlies lurking in the very bathroom I had exposed myself to. Picking it up with a nervous chuckle, I soon found myself hooked and fascinated by the medical information which was being presented. It's not difficult reading material, nor is it boring. If you like criminal shows, forensic sciences and the like - you should really enjoy this.
Informative.......2006-03-08
This book is easy to read and informative. I underlined a lot of excellent information. Chapters can stand on their own. This makes it a very useful book if you are interested in pathogens.
Informative and fun to read.......2005-07-25
I used this book for one of my classes and I was dreading having to read a book about biology and diseases. After reading the first chapter I got hooked, and couldn't set the book down. I read it in three days while I was out hiking in the woods and it made me a little paranoid about ticks that might be in the grass and other insects! The book definitely makes you think about every living organism that is around you, on you, and inside you.
This is by no means a detailed book about any particular disease, bacteria, or virus. However, it is the perfect book for somebody who has never taken an interest in diseases or epidemics. It is very easy to read and entertaining.
Great Book.......2004-03-09
I am in Mr. Zimmerman's class and he is a great teacher. He uses excerpts from his book killer germs to teach us about microbiology. I believe he spant a lot of time writing this book and it was definetly worth reading. Two thumbs up.
fantastic.......2004-03-09
This is a fantastic book; it gives the reader a full course in microbiology, as well as the history and the future of the science. I highly reccomend it.

Beginning with this pivotal scene, Louis Pasteur traces the story of Pasteur's career, including his amazing discovery that germs cause disease and his development of vaccines for rabies and anthax. It is because of his theories, work, and courage that the vaccines we benefit from today exist at all. Readers will be mesmerized by the true story of "killer germs" and the dedicated man who fought them single-handedly.
Customer Reviews:
Model introduction to science.......2000-06-04
Very enjoyable. A clear and enthralling presentation of an exciting discovery. The real difficulty experienced by Louis Pasteur's contemporaries in comprehending the danger of from an almost invisible source is particularly well drawn. The resources section is also very useful and leads to other intriguing scientific subjects.
Thumbs up for "Louis Pasteur: Hunting Killer Germs".......2000-05-18
As an adult in the education field, I found this book not only engrossing and suspenseful, but informative, well-structured and clear. It's a fantastic and painless introduction to Pasteur and to the history of medicine, told in an engaging narrative that is bound to inspire both boys and girls alike. I liked it so much I donated a copy to the local library.
Book Description
The strange new disease SARS erupted apparently out of nowhere and has spread at an astonishing rate. Scary as SARS itself is, the disease is also a warning of many possible such outbreaks to come. Featuring the disturbing story of SARS—where it came from, what it is, and how to protect yourself from it—as well as those of many other recently evolved deadly scourges,
The New Killer Diseases is a shocking call to arms.
All around us—in our homes, workplaces, and public spaces—bacteria and viruses are evolving at a feverish rate, and our best defenses against them are in danger of being overwhelmed. The threat posed by emerging infectious diseases is as formidable as any challenge the human race has ever faced, and the evolutionary scales may be tipping in favor of the microbes.
In
The New Killer Diseases, a respected immunologist and a veteran science author introduce the vital facts the public must know about the astonishing range of killer microbes we are up against. From the SARS and West Nile viruses to mad cow and Ebola, thirty new deadly diseases have arisen since the 1970s, and twenty old scourges, such as plague and cholera, are reemerging. But the FDA only recently approved the first new type of antibiotic in thirty-four years, and vaccines for many of the most lethal viruses are a long way from development. In addition, researchers have only lately discovered that bacteria have been swapping resistance genes—genes that help them evade the drugs meant to kill them—and are evolving new mechanisms to fight off even our best drugs at a startling pace.
Featuring many remarkable stories of people who have contracted bizarre new afflictions, including that of the doctor who first diagnosed SARS and then died from it,
The New Killer Diseases empowers readers by revealing in a gripping, detailed fashion the way these new diseases manifest themselves, the symptoms to watch out for, and how to get a correct diagnosis in time. The book also goes to the front lines of the war being waged by researchers and medical professionals across the country, profiling the pioneers who are leading the fight and introducing the latest scientific developments, from new genetic techniques to promising drug programs, which may allow us to beat back the microbe menace.
The New Killer Diseases arms us with the knowledge to protect ourselves and our families, leaving us alert and fully informed about the troubling extent of the formidable threat we face.
From the Hardcover edition.

Shocking! Informative! Powerful Book You Don't Want to Miss!.......2004-02-22
I could not put this book down and found the information extremely valuable and frightening! Forget reading a Stephen King novel, pick up this book and you will be horrified at the number of killer viruses, bacteria, and even prions (the substance responsible for Mad Cow Disease.) The authors have done an excellent job of showing the path of the newest killer diseases! A prolific book on the subject of newly emerging diseases!
Lions, tigers and PRIONS, beware!.......2003-10-23
This is not the sort of information that one should talk about at the next wedding reception; especially if there stands a food buffet complete with salad bar --- salad bars are the 'Typhoid Mary's' of our modern, super-infectious times.
Authors Elinor Levy and Mark Fischetti talk intelligently about 'super-spreaders."...No - not merely persons possessing big booties, but instead, people infected with nasty germs and viruses that pass it on to an inordinate number of unsuspecting saps. One day a person boards a bus, and by the next morning, they find themselves in isolation for treatment of SARS. Nurses and Doctors also become sickened by these 'superspreaders' and pretty soon, the World Health Organization declares an epidemic of one type of pneumonia that is tough to treat.
Well, the discussions about SARS,E Coli 0157, AIDS, Hepatitis C and over usage of antibiotics rage on throughout the 292 page labor of medical research.
Once again, the message to bring home is to WASH YOUR HANDS!
For God's sakes! Get up from this computer and knock those germie germs off su manos immediamente! Caramba!
On page 117 -- Chapter 4 -- Here come the PRIONS...oooh --- they're scary little non-living things...an entirely new class of pathogen that for years, scientists scoffed that they even existed. But PRIONS is what caused Mad Cow Disease in Britian, or the other fatal disease in humans referred to as Cueutzfeldt-Jakob disease. THe brain literally is eaten up by these cells that act wildly. Imagine a normal neuron is like a fold-up chair, and your brain is like a huge auditorium filled neatly with folding chairs lined up nice,orderly and neatly in rows. only Prions trigger your folding chairs to suddenly fold up wildly, like a metal folding chair that was hit by a car. Prions make your chairs mangled by their influence. Once the prions get a hold of your neurons, it passes on messages and in no time at all, your brain is a messed-up avalanche of a tangled mess of metal folding chairs, as if an 18 wheeler truck mistakenly drove through.
PRIONS our our newest microscopic foe, and doctors don't know how to kill them without also killing the victim.
The victim gets the prion infestation by eating infected meat, and for all we know, those cows in Britian had an outbreak and the heards were slaughtered in order to prevent them from infecting other cattle world-wide.
Sure hope it worked.
After scaring the bee-jezus outta the reader, the book finally winds down to what we can do about germ warfare, overuse of antibiotics and development of probiotics and other potential weapons against microbes that mutate and reconform their outer membranes to keep fooling man kind from killing them.
Hey - it's gonna be us or them.....somebody please pass the Ciprofloxacin!
Disturbing.......2003-10-14
In this disturbing new book, authors Mark Fischetti and Dr. Elinor Levy look at the recent trends in the evolution of germs and demonstrate the threat that they represent to all of humanity. Beginning with the recent advent of SARS, the book examines a plethora of naturally occurring pathogens, and how they have changed since the post-World War 2 years, when antibiotics seemed to represent the ultimate victory of man over disease. Increasingly, doctors have found that familiar (and treatable) pathogens are returning in new forms that are more deadly than those seen before, and are increasingly immune to existing medical treatment.
This is not a book for the complacent. In this book, the authors are sounding an alarm at recent trends, and are recommending quick action in the war between humans and germs. The book is crammed full of stories of the effects of the newer generations of diseases, and will shock and disturb anyone who doesn't take them seriously.
But, the book is not primarily sensationalistic, but instead treats the topic as a serious subject that must be explained to the lay reader. Indeed, at times the authors are quite optimistic, informing the reader of new and developing fields of immunology that promise whole new fronts being opened up in the war against germs. So, if you are interested in the present trends in medicine and diseases, then I would highly recommend this book to you. Indeed, if you have heard tales of SARS and Mad Cow Disease, and want to know what's going on, then you must get this book!
Well worth reading.......2003-09-21
I had no idea we were each under such serious threat from infectious diseases until I read this book. I ignored how vulnerable we all are. The book details the rise of infectious diseases in the past 25 years - 30 new ones in that short time.
The new killers are all here: SARS, West Nile, Mad Cow, flesh-eating bacteria, hepatitis C, HIV, plus possibilities of bioterrorism, and more.
Detailed stories of many of the victims are riveting; some died, some survive. I couldn't stop reading accounts of these people, what they endured, and the course of their illness. I learned how to recognize symptoms of the diseases, how these illnesses operate in our bodies, and how our immune systems, and drugs, try to battle them.
The book reveals how we have made things worse, but explains what scientists and politicians can do to protect us. Now I'm aware, and I know what to look out for to try to protect myself.
It's well worth reading.

Ingeniosa Narrativa.......2001-03-24
La primera oportunidad que tuve de leer este libro fue a los 8 anos y no solo me gusto muchisimo sino que me ayudo luego en la epoca de estudiante,14 anos depues aun me sigue atrapando cabe recalcar que de los datos recopilados entonces hasta la fecha han habido avances considerables en la ciencia,mas empero eso no le quita a Paul de Kruif el merito de entretener narrando prodigiosamente temas tan complejos como la historia de la Microbiologia.Para quienes consideran que la ciencia es aburrida les recomiendo esta obra tambien sugerible para aquellos que gustan de ciencia ficcion.

Book Description
Before scientists knew what germs were, many people died from infections simply because no one understood the need to keep wounds clean. Now you can buy over-the-counter antibiotic creams. Antibiotic drugs were completely unknown until World War II. Today doctors use things as simple as health education and as complicated as genetic engineering to fight disease. But while age-old diseases such as smallpox and polio are under control, newly discovered one, including Ebola and hantavirus, are still deadly and scientists are searching for cures and treatments. 'Science at the Edge: Germ Killers: Fighting Infectious Disease' explains the difference between a viral and a bacterial illness and how the treatments for each different. Scientists are also trying new methods of fighting parasitic diseases, such as malaria. But even seemingly common methods of fighting disease can raise concerns. While vaccines have saved millions of lives from measles, the disease still occurs. Yet some people suspect that the measles vaccine, which is combined with vaccines for other diseases, may cause serious health problems in some children and should not be used.

Informative and interesting book, easy read........2002-07-02
This is a great book for the average person to read, or for a student or teacher of microbiology to read. I teach microbiology, and hope to use this book in my courses if I can get enough copies of it for my students at my college.
The best book of its kinda.......2001-12-22
I have never read a book on infectious disease that has been so well researched and well written. You do not need a degree in microbiology to understand this book. The information is so gripping I read the book in a day, I just could not put it down. I am a college student in microbiology and was amazed at how much information was provided regarding the history of infectious disease and the scientists that have help in the war against them - only to find out that the same microorganisms are rearing their ugly heads - again????? Strep throat has never been a problem in my lifetime but it looks like it will be in the near future. If you ejoyed the Coming Plague this is the book for you
