The Infection Game: life is an arms race

by Sarah Myhill, Craig Robinson

Dr Myhill, ably supported by Craig Robinson, 'It is generally believed that infection is a killer of the past. Wrong – research now shows that our big killers, from cancers and coronaries to dementia and diabetes are largely infection-driven. Indeed, it is difficult to find a pathology that does not have an infectious associate. Cheap and effective defences are within the grasp of all of us. We have all the weapons we need to win the arms race. Our new book provides the intellectual imperatives and practical know-how to conquer the established, prevent the potential and postpone the inevitable. Just do it!' The Infection Game shows us how we can maximise our defences and martial our weapons so that we are ready to defeat the infectious organisms we encounter every day and in epidemic situations.

More excellent information from Dr Myhill about maintaining health on a daily basis, and advice on tackling crises triggered by infections. Dr Myhill highlights the less-than-optimal nutritional choices we make and how to take control of one's resistance to common (and not so common) ills through diet and nutritional supplements. Much of what's presented here will be familiar to those who have benefited from Dr Myhill's previous books on living with M.E. ("Diagnosis and treatment of CFS & M.E.: It's mitochondria, not hypochondria") Diabetes ("Prevent and Cure Diabetes: Delicious diets not dangerous drugs"), "Sustainable Medicine: whistle-blowing on 21st-century medical practice" and "The PK Cookbook: Go Paleo-ketogenic and get the best of both worlds."

I particularly enjoyed the editorial input from Dr Myhill's co-author, Craig Robinson, which adds irresistible humour and erudition to the mix.

*I received this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*

Written by Dr Sarah Myhill & Mr. Craig Robinson, this medical treatise puts into light the one often overlooked contributory cause to disease: primary infections. Divided into 5 parts, each one is dedicated to unveiling the history of infections including their effect in modern times, methods to improve our natural immune army or defense system, methods to attack and treat a variety of acute infections that managed to invade before they become chronic, and even if they do become chronic, key clinical diagnosis and treatments we can use to help combat the unwanted invasion of our bodies. Definitely recommend this book as it is similar to a mini medical dictionary and can help the average person develop a stronger defense system.

If you want to read a book that constantly redirects you to their other books, this is for you!

Seldom read such prescriptive crap. Luckily I didn't hand over actual cash for it, and I hope that the person who did sleeps from 21.30 - 6.30 every night or they're toast, allegedly

Definetly a keeper of a book. I often refer to this to help treat myself in times of feeling unwell. Dr Myhill is a fantastic Doctor who is extremely intelligent and understands M.E. Who il always be very thankful for as she has helped my health considerably.
