Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching

Friday, November 28th, 2008

I bought this book last year after my family asked me a few questions about whether it was safe to buy and eat chicken and I decided to educate myself on this subject. However only this month I had a chance to start reading it. Very informative on avian influenza viruses, how they interact and spread. I liked the history of the search for 1918 flu pandemic virus. I’ve read almost 60 pages so far but one advise I got is not to wash meat before cooking: I’ve done the opposite so far. Keep reading for the moment.

The Hundred-Year Lie

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

This is the very important book that warns about synergy between different chemicals that enter our bodies. It also shows the failure of reductionism in pharmacology and mainstream medicine and the danger of the so called synthetic paradigm. The book depicts various food and drug related fallacies. Highly recommended for reading and not to be paranoid but at least to be informed. At the time of this writing I’ve have finished 183 pages out of 257 pages of the main text. This is my lunch time reading these days :-)
