Synopsis

Challenge the conventional microbe panic with a grounded physiological view.

This book argues that microbes are not the sole cause of disease and offers a physiological framework for understanding illness. It revisits how health and disease relate to body processes, decay, and repair, with historical and contemporary examples that test common assumptions about infection.

The author blends proofs, personal experimentation, and clear definitions to question widely held beliefs about microbes, pathogens, and immunity. It aims to show how diseases may arise from the body's own responses and from decomposed or altered matter, rather than from microbes alone.

  • Examination of the limits of microbe-centered disease theories
  • Physiological arguments for why microbes are not the sole cause of disease
  • Discussion of malaria, tetanus, diphtheria, and other conditions through a different lens
  • Glossary and practical definitions to aid understanding of complex terms

Ideal for readers curious about physiology, medical history, and debates over how diseases are produced.
