On Pandemics Deadly Diseases from Bubonic Plague to Coronavirus by David Waltner-Towes

$29.99 AUD

Category: Health and Wellbeing

ritten by a leading epidemiologist, this engrossing book answers our questions about animal diseases that jump to humans - called zoonoses - including why they have become more common in recent history, and what we can do about them. Almost all pandemics and epidemics - including SARS, Ebola and now COV ID-19 - have been caused by diseases that come to us from animals. In On Pandemics, David Waltner-Toews gathers the latest research to profile dozens of illnesses. Why do zoonotic diseases jump from animals to humans - and why do some hang around for good? How have governments responded to pandemics and epidemics throughout history, for better or worse? How have climate change, industrialised farming, cultural practices, biodiversity loss and globalisation made these diseases not only possible, but the inevitable outcomes of our modern lifestyles? Coronaviruses have made bats their home for centuries. Until SARS came along, we didn't know they were there, nor do we know how many other death-dealing viruses might be living undetected in wildlife. On Pandemics examines the increasing impact of animal-borne diseases on our world, and encourages us to re-examine our role in pandemics - for the health of the planet as well as our own survival. ...Show more

BEYOND THE MAGIC BULLET THE ANTI-CANCER COCKTAIL by CHANG RAYMOND

$24.95 AUD

Category: Health and Wellbeing

While the world continues to look for that one "magic bullet that will defeat all cancers, the fact is that modern medicine may already have the arsenal of weapons it needs to conquer this deadly killer. Perhaps all that is required is an innovative strategy that uses our undervalued weapons in a far mo re effective way. In BEYOND THE MAGIC BULLET: THE ANTI-CANCER COCKTAIL, Dr. Raymond Chang takes a penetrating look at a bold new way of treating and defeating the disease with what is already available today. The book begins by examining modern medicine's use of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy in the war against cancer. It explains how conventional medicine now relies on a narrowly focused strategy of treatments that employs, at best, only one or two drugs or other therapies at a time. It then offers an approach based on the knowledge that certain off-label drugs and nutritional supplements are each somewhat effective against the disorder. By combining these therapeutic agents into a powerful "cocktail, doctors have found that they can simultaneously attack the cancer on many different levels and at several different angles, with the goal of overwhelming it and halting its spread. Dr. Chang not only discusses the effectiveness of the cocktail, but, also, provides an assessment of each of the most valuable agents that are available for the battle. The idea of the medical "cocktail is not new. For over a thousand years, traditional medical systems throughout the world have effectively used the multi-agent approach to restore health. And today, the most successful treatments for HIV and Hepatitis C are based on this simple concept. By detailing how this strategy can be utilised in the war against cancer, BEYOND TE MAGIC BELLET leads the way to a bright new future of hope and healing. ...Show more

Breath - The Lost Art and Science of Our Most Misunderstood Function by James Nestor

$39.99 AUD

Category: Health and Wellbeing

'A transformative book that changes how you think about your body and mind' Josua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly. 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens had bigge r skulls. Cooked food meant our heads shrunk; alongside a growing brain, our airways got narrower. Urbanisation then led us to breathe less deeply and less healthily. And so today more than 90% of us breathe incorrectly. So we might have been breathing all our life, but we need to learn how to breathe better! In Breath, James Nestor meets cutting-edge scientists at Harvard and experiments on himself in labs at Stanford to see the impact of bad breathing. He revives the lost, and recently scientifically proven, wisdom of swim coaches, Indian mystics, stern-faced Russian cardiologists, Czechoslovakian Olympians and New Jersey choral conductors - the world's foremost 'pulmonauts' - to show how breathing in specific patterns can trigger our bodies to absorb more oxygen, and he explains the benefits for everyone that result, from staying healthy and warding off anxiety to improving focus and losing weight. Breath is a fascinating ride through evolution, medicine and physiology - and extreme sports. But mostly it explores you. Structured as a journey with chapters from the mouth and nose through to the lungs and nervous system, it is non-fiction at its breath-taking best. ...Show more
