"The picture we have of viruses and their significance for human
beings and nature has fundamentally changed in the last two decades
but with hardly any of this more widely known ... Viruses are the
oldest, the most common and the most broadly distributed organic
structures that evolution has ever created. Viruses basically are
the most ancient building blocks of life; without this knowledge we
will not be able to understand their role and the part they play in
the course of illness." T. Hardtmuth....... Dr Thomas Hardtmuth
tackles the many issues of the Covid-19 Corona pandemic. He
proceeds from the premise that we first need a thorough
understanding of the significance of viruses not just as a cause of
illnesses but as a medium, under the right conditions, for building
and maintaining health, as a carrier and changer of genetic
information in the service of evolution. Still prevalent is the
view that all viruses are enemies to be fought, consigning
ourselves as in this epidemic to battleground stations, with all
that that entails. Governments have described it as a war..... The
newest research and understanding, though, is leading to very
different conclusions. The prevalent view of a virus attacking us
and making us ill, laying the blame fully on the virus, is
outdated. Its effect depends on the situation and most importantly
the 'host', ie the person - it is not a simple question of cause
and effect - or dots on a computer chart touching each other and
'causing infection', as computer modelling tends to be done.....
This book delves in more detail into related subjects, in an easily
readable language. These themes include the PCR tests and the
so-called Ct (or amplification) values; the psychology of fear and
power; the inner-outer relationship between human health and
environmental health; and the effects of fear as well as other
factors on the immune system. In addition, he introduces the
subject of alternative therapies and the controversial theme of
benefits and risks of vaccination, in general and with regard to
the current Covid vaccines. On the latter he details in
comprehensible form the processes both by which the different types
of vaccines have been produced as well as the different mechanisms
by which they affect human cells and immune systems. He goes on to
consider the testing processes in production which were
significantly shortened for Covid vaccines, the potential risks,
and the immunological responses in the organism through vaccines in
comparison to responses arising naturally through actual infections
- how they are not the same. This leads into a comprehensive survey
of the functioning of the human immune system..... In all the
sections, the effort is made to explore the issues from a broad,
open-minded and holistic perspective, showing how this approach has
an important significance also for the details of the Covid
pandemic and the various measures being taken. It is written in an
easily readable language..... The emphasis: with a comprehensive
knowledge incorporating unbiased views of health and human illness,
without fears or political pressures, we will be in a better
position for discussion on policies as well as for responsible
individual choices.
