About this listen
One doctor’s surprising answer to the epidemic of autoimmunity and chronic disease.
Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded: Currently, one in two-and-a-half American children has an allergy; one in 11 has asthma; one in 13 has severe food allergies; and one in 36 has autism. While some attribute this rise to increased awareness and diagnosis, Thomas Cowan, MD, argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive - approximately 70 vaccine doses by age 18. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response.
Dr. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life; examines the role of fever, the gut, and cellular fluid in immune health; argues that vaccination is an ineffective (and harmful) attempt to shortcut a complex immune response; and asserts that the medical establishment has engaged in an authoritarian argument that robs parents of informed consent. His ultimate question, from the point of view of a doctor who has decades of experience treating countless children, is what we are really doing to children when we vaccinate them.

Story
Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true? Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering information, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases.

In Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Thomas Cowan argues that this failure was inevitable because the oncogene theory is incorrect or at least incomplete and based on a flawed concept of biology in which DNA controls our cellular function and therefore our health. Instead, Dr. Cowan tells us the somatic mutations seen in cancer cells are the result of a cellular deterioration that has little to do with oncogenes, DNA, or even the nucleus.

Story
A fascinating account of the world’s most famous disease - polio - told as you have never heard it before. Epidemics of paralysis began to rage in the early 1900s, seemingly out of nowhere. Doctors, parents, and health officials were at a loss to explain why this formerly unheard-of disease began paralyzing so many children. Why did this disease start to become such a horrible problem during the late 1800s? Why did it affect children more often than adults? Why was it originally called teething paralysis by mothers and their doctors?

Story
In the late 1800s, a new disease arrived in North America from Europe and began to claim the lives of children everywhere. Though most today have never even heard of this illness, it would routinely kill over 10,000 children in a single year - more than the polio might take in an entire decade. After much trial and tribulation, a shot was developed that helped both those already afflicted with the illness, and those who might one day become infected. But the shot was dangerous, and many parents refused it for their children.

autoimmune!
this was very interesting , ibhave an autoimmune myself so i really appreciate the indepth talk about autoimmune diseases and it helped me understand a lot of my own connection to my problems. He even has a very intriguing sounding treatment for autoimmune with narcan . i know weird ! the drug that treats addiction overdose. I want to try it and hoping one of my specialists are open minded to prescribing me with narcan for my autoimmune. i knew alot of the vaccine issues but it very nice to be educated on it especially when i face so many oppositional personalities towards my beliefs on it concerning my children. thank you for this book i enjoyed it the most out of all of my books . cant believe im through it already .

Great non-conventional health information, but....
This book contains a lot of really good information, and he offers an alternative point of view to conventional health knowledge. I loved the book and found it quite interesting. Its a good thing he included testaments from patients that he's successfully treated. However, its a little disturbing to learn that the author Thomas Cowan was fairly recently forced to surrender his license as a physician due to his theories regarding Covid19 and electromagnetic waves (5G specifically).
That said, I still think this book is still worth reading, as long as your knowledge about human health doesn't comprise of just this book alone. Its good to hear from a former physician with an unconventional view of our health, in addition to the educated opinion of the thousands of other health experts out there that we can read about.
