Ending the AIDS Myth
Andreas Moritz

Despite common belief, there is no scientific evidence to this day that AIDS is a contagious disease. The current AIDS theory falls short in predicting the kind of AIDS disease an infected person may be manifesting, and there is no accurate system to determine how long it will take for the disease to develop. In addition, the current HIV/AIDS theory contains no reliable information that can help identify those who are at risk of developing AIDS. Dozens of prominent scientists working at the forefront of the AIDS research are now openly questioning the virus hypothesis of AIDS. Find out why! Ending the AIDS Myth also shows you what really causes the shutdown of the immune system and what needs to be done to avoid it.

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
Weston A Price

Circling the world in the 1920s and 30s, Dr Price and his wife found the same sinister pattern among "primitive" populations. Those groups that followed their traditional nature-based diets enjoyed good health and vigour, and those that turned to the "civilised" diet of processed, sugar-laden foods soon developed a variety of ills, including misshapen bones and teeth - and the situation worsened with each generation. This is a seriously scary read about the damage modern foods do and if it doesn't convert you back to good, healthy, natural food, nothing will!

Spirituality

How to Know God
