Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 ************************************** Fall 2006 issue of Dr. Michael Greger's Newsletter ******************************************************* My new book and website: BIRD FLU: A VIRUS OF OUR OWN HATCHING (hardcover, 465 pages) http://www.BirdFluBook.org My newsletter started out monthly, turned quarterly, and now this is the first issue since Fall 2005! What have I been doing all year? When millions of people were duped onto the Atkins Diet I felt the need to drop everything and write perhaps the most comprehensive analysis to date on how unscientific, ineffective, and downright dangerous those low carb diets could be. I collected all the best research, testimony from all the best experts and wrote the book Carbophobia, and put the entire thing free, full-text, online at http://www.AtkinsExposed.org. The Atkins Corporation dropped their threats to sue when they declared bankruptcy 5 months after publication . I hadn't planned on writing it, but there was just so much misinformation, and so many people were placed at risk that I felt forced to. My life over the last year has similarly been side-swiped by the threat of bird flu triggering a global pandemic of human disease. So I wrote another book, Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching, and again placed the entire thing free, full-text, online, at http://www.BirdFluBook.org. The hardcover will not be officially released for a few weeks (though definitely in time to get everyone you know copies for the holidays! , but if you just can't wait you can order sneak preview copies at http://www.HumaneSocietyPress.org As always all the proceeds I receive from the sales of all my books goes to charity. Bird Flu is my prescription for preventing, preparing for, and surviving the next flu pandemic. Leading public health authorities now predict as inevitable a pandemic of influenza, triggered by bird flu and expected to lead to millions of deaths around the globe. But the influenza virus has existed for millions of years as an innocuous intestinal virus of wild ducks. What turned a harmless waterborne duck virus into a killer? That's the question I attempted to answer. The book is practical too, explaining what we can do to protect our families and what society can do to reduce the likelihood of such potential catastrophes in the future. As with all my work, I've tried to make it engaging (a real page-turner!) and entertaining (funny too!). I am just so excited to share it with everyone; I think it's the best--and most important--work of my life. This new book, of course, means I'm back on the road. I've put together just a stunning multimedia presentation that I hope everyone will be able to catch. My list of speaking dates is also up at htp://www.BirdFluBook.org Please help me get this critical information out there. A pandemic, by very definition, threatens everyone, but the goal is to be prepared, not scared. There are simple things we can do right now to protect ourselves and our communities. So check out http://www.BirdFluBook.org and if you find it useful please help me spread the word. And maybe this time it won't be the Atkins Corporation suing me, it will be Kentucky Fried Chicken I do hope to get back to the nutrition newsletter eventually--thank you all for your patience. For the issue archive, go to http://www.DrGreger.org/newsletters.html -Michael " A brilliant and captivating book, meticulously researched, beautifully and engagingly written with wit and grace, and argued with relentless logic. In addition to providing practical take-home tips for protecting oneself from the flu, the author elegantly demonstrates that the evolution of the devastating influenza virus, as well as that of numerous other zoonotic pathogens, stems directly from the proliferation of confinement agricultural systems. Every person concerned about human and animal health and welfare, self-preservation, and justice should read this book.
