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 witnessing the emergence of new and powerful pathogens or "superbugs" 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, and explains how to effectively build immunity and protect one's self from these dangerous agents, without the help of antibiotics. Citing the most recent research on the subject, she argues that the body's "inner terrain" is where the battle for health is really won or lost.

Skye Weintraub, N.D., has been in medical practice as a naturopathic physician for the last thirteen years and has researched and written books for the last seven years. She possesses a strong background in holistic health therapies, specializing in the treatment of chronic health concerns, especially allergies and digestive disorders.

Dr. Weintraub is the author of numerous books, including Natural Healing with Cell Salts, Allergies and Holistic Healing, Natural Treatments for ADD and Hyperactivity, and The Parasite Menace.

Dr. Weintraub is a frequent guest on radio programs exploring natural health topics, and travels nationwide, presenting and speaking on these topics. Additionally, she is a consultant for complementary health companies regarding the development of products, especially those concerning allergies, ADHD, and the overgrowth of disease-causing organisms in the digestive system.
