Klappentext

"The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated--a fuction of both the 'germ' and the 'terrain'--the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski shares emerging science about how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infections such as COVID-19. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski clearly outlines the tools needed for better health, including: how to eat like your life depends on it; the best nutrients to supercharge your immunity; how to harness the power of botanical medicine; how to detoxify simply and safely at home; simple treatments and recommended diagnostic test for given conditions. Dr. Chlebowski tells us that now is the time to invest in our health, and the health of our communities, so that when--not if--the next pandemic hits, we can help our loved ones and ourselves not just survive but thrive." -- Back cover.

Zusammenfassung
"A gem of a book at a timely moment in history."—Stephanie Seneff, author of Toxic Legacy

Learn how to take control of your health—and decrease susceptibility to infectious viral disease before it strikes.

There will almost certainly be more pandemics in our future. Yet, during the coronavirus crisis, not a single major public health official took the simple step of telling Americans what we all need to hear:
Robust good health—healthy immunity, low inflammation, low toxic burden, and freedom from stealth infection and chronic disease—is our best defense against infectious viral disease.

Of course, it’s not that simple. The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated—both a function of the “germ” and the “terrain”—the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski succinctly describes emerging science on the virome and how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infection. He then clearly outlines the tools needed for better health, including:
• How to eat like your life depends on it
• The best nutrients to supercharge your immunity
• How to harness the power of botanical medicine
• How to detoxify simply and safely at home
• Valuable information on simple treatment and recommended diagnostic tests for given conditions

As we move forward from the tragedy of COVID-19, it is essential that we come together to learn from our mistakes, and work hard—and work together—to prevent a similar crisis in the future. When the next pandemic hits, we need to be better prepared. Now is the time to do something, and it is the best investment we can make so that when—not if—the next “big one” hits we can keep our loved ones and ourselves safe and healthy.
