Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Dr. Dominic...

25% of the royalties of this book will be donated to Dr. Seyfrieds research (See KetoforCancer.net)! This research will actually make a real impact, as it studies the real causes and treatment opportunities of cancer.
This book is an overview of Dr. Thomas Seyfrieds scientific work, regarding that Cancer is a metabolic disease. It comprisesTranscripts of his talks and interviews that summarize all his most important points, as well asA Presentation by his collegue Dr. Dominic D'Agostiono about the "Press Pulse Strategy" andA possible way of eating, that would prevent cancer from the get go: The RockSolid Diet (by J.Rockermeier)
Here the description of his scientific work:
"Cancer as a metabolic disease" addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited.This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention.
Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.
This book comprises the opinion of Dr. Thomas Seyfried regarding the metabolic nature of cancer. He states, that it is not genetic, but a mitochondrial disease.
This book is NOT a summary of his original, scientific book. It's rather a collection of video transcripts, that summarize his point. With official permission, because we donate 25% of the royalties directly to his research!

The Spanish Influenza Pandemic...

Oscar Jewell Harvey

Early in September, 1918, the United States was invaded by a scourge of highly infectious and fatal disease, which spread with rapidity throughout the country, eventually infecting 500 million people worldwide, or about 27% of the world population, killing anywhere from 17 million to as many as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history. Known as Spanish Influenza, it was pandemic in its nature. No one seemed to know much about the disease or its treatment, and medical science and public health agencies were alike unprepared to cope with it. Caught in the middle of this unfolding disaster was Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, historian Oscar Jewell Harvey. In his little-known 1920 book "The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918," Harvey gives a first-hand account of how one middle-sized Pennsylvania city struggled to cope with the devastating plague which struck while America was preoccupied with fighting World War One. In introducing his book, Harvey writes that "it certainly was a disconcerting fact that, at the very time when vast numbers of the people in widely-distributed localities had organized themselves, through the Red Cross and other wellknown and efficient mediums, to fight disease and prevent suffering and death, we should be smitten with a visitation which caused more casualties and deaths among the peaceful citizens in the homeland than the deadly missiles and poisonous gases of the enemy effected among the American Expeditionary Forces overseas in the great World War...."
