The Bacteria Menace: Today's Emerging Infections and How to Protect Yourself

We live in a society that is currently experiencing a dramatic rise in chronic and unexplainable illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Despite medical advances in recent years, mainstream solutions to these conditions are often too little, too late. We are also witnesses the emergence of new and powerful pathogens or "super bugs" that threaten to undermine the very foundations of modern medicine. In response, many medical experts now believe that today's most menacing health threat is harbored within the body, not lurking outside it.

In this book, author and naturopathic physician Skye Weintraub outlines how bacteria may be at the root of many of today's chronic health conditions, as well as how to effectively build immunity and protect one's self from these dangerous agents--without the help of antibiotics. Citing the most recent research and case studies throughout history on the subject, she argues that the body's "inner terrain" is where the battle for health is really won or lost. Void of hype, this timely and revealing book is a practical guide to understanding how to best protect yourself from threatening pathogens through strengthening your body's inner defenses.
