Summary of Torsten Engelbrecht's Virus Mania

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The scapegoating of microbes is a common human tendency. We tend to blame certain microbes for causing serious illnesses, like COVID-19 and hepatitis C, when in reality, it is our own species that is responsible for the state of our oceans.

#2 Medical science is rooted in ignorance and the desire for oversimplification. The living world is much more complicated than medical science and the media lets on.

#3 While it is true that certain microbes can cause disease, and that they are the primary triggers of it, we must remember that other factors such as environmental toxins, the side effects of medications, and poor nutrition are also linked to disease.

#4 The government-sponsored groups that are supposed to protect the health of citizens generally ignore preventive health care, which is a shame, because it has been proven that poor nutrition and a lifestyle that leads to constipation have nothing to do with intestinal bacteria.
