"Since the dawn of the human race, medicine men and physicians have wondered about the cause of disease, especially what we call 'contagions,' numerous people ill with similar symptoms, all at the same time.

As the restriction of our freedoms continues, more and more people are wondering whether this is true.

Perhaps something else is involved--something that has upset the balance of nature and made us more susceptible to disease? Perhaps there is no 'coronavirus' at all; perhaps, as Pasteur said, 'the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything'"--Provided by publisher
