  The Compatibility Gene: How Our Bodies Fight Disease, Attract Others, and Define Our Selves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min

  The Compatibility Gene takes readers on a global journey of discovery spanning 60 years, involving scores of scientists, and encompassing the history of transplants and immunology. That journey has revealed astonishing links between who we are as individuals and our never-ceasing struggle to survive disease. Most of the 25,000 genes we possess are the same for all of us. Compatibility genes are those that vary most from person to person and give each of us a unique molecular signature. These genes determine both the extent to which we are susceptible to a vast range of illnesses and the different ways each of us fights disease. In The Compatibility Gene, distinguished immunologist Daniel Davis draws on new research to suggest a number of even more fascinating - and controversial - conclusions about compatibility genes: that we find others more or less sexy according to their compatibility genes (dating services are starting to match people in this way); that the wiring between some neurons is kept or broken according to the activity of compatibility genes; and that compatibility genes influence the chances of a couple having a successful pregnancy. Profoundly personal, life-forming, and life-changing decisions appear to be governed by the actions of a few inherited genes. Most importantly, Davis proposes that because we each respond slightly differently to any particular disease, in the not-too-distant future vaccines and other medications may be tailored to match our compatibility genes, a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against disease. Including vivid portraits of the scientists who worked tirelessly to unlock the secrets of compatibility genes, as well as patients who survived disease due to lucky genetic inheritances, The Compatibility Gene explains an aspect of human biology that will undoubtedly have profound impacts on medical practice in the 21st Century. ungekürzt.

  Flu Fighters: How to Win the Cold War by Boosting Your Natural Immunity with Non-Toxic Nutrients , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min

  Why do some people get really sick, even die from flu, while others don't?  Colds and flu are viral diseases that a healthy immune system should be able to fight off with natural immunity. But what is a healthy immune system, and how can you promote your own immune power with diet and nutrients? This book explains: How viruses work and where are their weaknesses? Why animals that make vitamin C rarely succumb to flu or colds. The truth about vitamin C and how to use it when you're infected. How black elderberry blocks viral replication. Why vitamin D levels crash in winter to make us more susceptible. Other critical immune support nutrients from selenium to zinc. How intravenous vitamin C saves lives in those with respiratory distress. You'll also discover how to restore and maintain a healthy immune system when not infected, complete with recipes for foods and drinks, and what to eat, drink, and supplement when you are under attack to shorten duration and severity of colds and flu. Patrick Holford is co-author of Boost Your Immune System, with immunologist Jennifer Meek, and was a student of the late Dr. Linus Pauling, the only person ever to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes, and author of Vitamin C and the Common Cold, published in 1970. Patrick Holford is founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, of which Dr. Linus Pauling was the patron. "This book should be in the hands of every ICU team fighting infections. Informative, well-written, and research-backed, it shows you how to take charge of your own immunity in the midst of this deadly world-wide pandemic." (Dr. Hyla Cass MD)"Don't read this book if you want someone else to think for you. Do read this book if you want to think for yourself. If you were in any doubt about media propaganda or bias, this book arms you with the facts to make the choice for you ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Holford.
