Описание: If one follows public pronouncements, the world is repeatedly afflicted with new terrible virus diseases. As the latest horror variant, the so-called coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 dominated the headlines. The population is also terrified by reports of measles, swine flu, SARS, BSE, AIDS or polio. However, The authors of Virus Mania, journalist Torsten Engelbrecht and doctor of internal medicine Claus K hnlein, MD, show that this fannning of fear is totally unfounded and that virus mayhem ignores very basic scientific facts: the existence, the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven. The book "Virus Mania" will also outline how modern medicine has pushed direct virus proof methods aside and uses dubious indirect tools to "prove" the existence of viruses such as antibody tests and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The alleged contagious viruses may be, in fact, also be seen as particles produced by the cells themselves as a consequence of certain stress factors such as drugs. These particles are then identified by antibody and PCR tests and interpreted as epidemic-causing viruses by doctors who have been inoculated for over 100 years by the theory that microbes are deadly and only modern medications and vaccines will protect us from virus pandemics. The central aim of this book is to steer the discussion back to a real scientific debate and put medicine back on the path of an impartial analysis of the facts. It will put medical experiments, clinical trials, statistics and government policies under the microscope, revealing that the people charged with protecting our health and safety have deviated from this path. Along the way, Engelbrecht and K hnlein will analyze all possible causes of illness such as pharmaceuticals, lifestyle drugs, pesticides, heavy metals, pollution, stress and processed (and sometimes genetically modified) foods. All of these can heavily damage the body of humans and animals and even kill them. And precisely th

Описание:
Life Mania is an incredible story that shows us that life is never fair, but with courage in the struggle, and knowing the purpose of your existence, you can overcome and be successful. At times in life, people will turn against you, betray you and forsake you but those who forgive and keep their hope alive will survive and succeed despite the challenges imposed on them by life.
Life Mania is a book about a young man who beat all odds and kept hope alive despite the myriad of challenges he went through. John Sunday Martin was born in South Sudan, a country that was experiencing war and innocent citizens were being tortured by the very same people that were meant to protect them. He lost his father through an explainable death during the era of the liberation struggle, and his hope for a bright future seemed to fade, but his mother kept hope alive for him and for his siblings.
The battle led him into secret services and sought refuge. He was brutally accused of being a terrorist and he unjust lost his asylum status. He faced detention and threat of deportation to South Sudan. He was miraculously released and when things looked like they were getting better for him, he received the news of his mother's death.
John Sunday Martin is an advocate for national unity, democratic reform and sustainable development, within the context of a multi-cultural South Sudan. He maintains a strong belief in the positive power of patriotism as an antidote to the crippling parochialism that has handicapped the nation since independence.
John Sunday Martin was born in 1981 in the remote township of Amadi in South Sudan. He grew up an orphan and joined the Sudan People, s Liberation Army (SPLA) at a young age. He rose through the military ranks during the long civil war, which eventually led to the independence of the Republic of South Sudan.
He went on to serve as spokesman for the Revolutionary Movement of National Salvation (REMNASA); an armed resistance front led by Major General Lasuba Ladoru Wango, prior to its formal amalgamation with the SPLA-In Opposition (SPLA-IO) under the leadership of Dr Riek Machar.
Over the last few decades, Americans have turned college admissions into a terrifying and occasionally devastating process, preceded by test prep, tutors, all sorts of stratagems, all kinds of rankings, and a conviction among too many young people that their futures will be determined and their worth established by which schools say yes and which say no. That belief is wrong. It's cruel. In WHERE YOU GO IS NOT WHO YOU'LL BE, Frank Bruni explains why, giving students and their parents a new perspective on this brutal, deeply flawed competition and a path out of the anxiety that it provokes. Bruni, a bestselling author and a columnist for the New York Times, shows that the Ivy League has no monopoly on corner offices, governors' mansions, or the most prestigious academic and scientific grants. Through statistics, surveys, and the stories of hugely successful people who didn't attend the most exclusive schools, he demonstrates that many kinds of colleges-large public universities, tiny hideaways in the hinterlands-serve as ideal springboards. And he illuminates how to make the most of them. What matters in the end are a student's efforts in and out of the classroom, not the gleam of his or her diploma. Where you go isn't who you'll be. Americans need to hear that-and this indispensable manifesto says it with eloquence and respect for the real promise of higher education.
