A Book on Viruses (and how to stop them)
Snot, Sneezes and Super Spreaders does the impossible, and makes learning about viruses fun and interesting. Designed for children age 8 to 12 (but good reading for anyone), how do viruses become so powerful, that they can hold the world in their grip for months at a time?
What exactly is a virus, where do they come from, how do they spread and how can be protect ourselves? If we didn’t know it before, we certainly know after the pandemic that viruses can change the world.
Author Marc tackles questions with playfulness, accompanied by quirky enlightening illustrations by Wendy Panders. The book addresses pandemics in an age-appropriate way and offers history of fascinating icky diseases of the past, and how they still hang around today.
Marc ter Horst is a Dutch writer of science books for children. After studying literature, he became interested in geology, astronomy and evolution and then became an independent copywriter. He is also author of an entertaining book for children to explain climate change.
Also read about alternatives to littered blue face masks and zero waste hand wash and sanitisers.
A Solution for Long COVID?
Through the Looking Glass is a book to take readers through the confusion on what long COVID is, and how to treat it naturally. Why does long COVID affect some people (and not others). And how is the best way to recover from it?
Based on over 30 years experience of studying neurolymphatics (and helping patients recover from ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) and fibromyalgia, the author shows how using his highly-respected Perrin Technique can help to restore healthy lymphatic drainage from the brain, following COVID-19 infection or vaccination.
This is a clear and concise account of the problems that lead to symptoms of long COVID, and is an ideal read for patients, health practitioners and physical therapists, who wish to understand the basics of lymphatic drainage, and how to restore it to health.
Dr Raymond Perrin qualified in 1984 from London’s British School of Osteopathy. He is a senior lecturer at University of Central Lancashire and clinical research fellow in Biology Medicine at University of Manchester.
.In 2005 he was awarded a doctorate by University of Salford, for his thesis on the involvement of cerebrospinal fluid and lymphatic drainage in ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).
What Caused COVID-19?
Boston University now believes that (almost certainly), the virus started with a tiny bat inside a remote Chinese cave (believing that eating live bats at wet markets is likely how it’s spread).
What About Mpox?
And the recent cases of Mpox almost certainly began in a lab, testing on monkeys. Will the powers that be never learn? Medical experts said that it was likely we would soon get another serious virus in the UK, and that has recently happened with Mpox.
Although the risk remains low, over 1000 people have already died in Africa, and it is spreading worldwide. It is mostly caught from being bitten or in contact with infected rodents, or eating their meat.
The disease was actually first discovered in monkeys, that had been inhumanely kept for medical research. Hence the name ‘monkeypox’.
It’s known that despite being the main creatures used to try to find a cure for AIDS, researchers have never managed to create the same disease, because these beautiful creatures are monkeys, not humans. Good reason to only donate to humane research charities.
