    What did you love best about Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life?

    Sound advice, scientifically substantiated statements, awesome knowledge, logical explanation of otherwise very difficult concepts. Such a rare find in a panoply of pseudo- medical literature for the masses.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life?

    Every bit of info that Dr. Blaylock shares with us is at price of gold. Practical, substantial how to get well and stay well.


    What does Tom Weiner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Good pronunciation of so many medical, chemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical terms.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No,because this is not a romance, by far. It is a manual; a superb manual of health and nutrition.
    Together with a print version I'm using it to better my health, my family and friends.

    Would you listen to Drug Muggers again? Why?

    I would listen again and again and again, because I have a menopausal memory.
    This is not a romance this is a pharmacology at its best!


    What about Coleen Marlo’s performance did you like?

    Good voice, a bit fast delivery, perheaps.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It makes me read again to retain more each time I read. I had to get a hard copy....

    A must read for anybody who thinks he/she needs hard drugs....

    Napoleon's Buttons is the fascinating account of 17 groups of molecules that have greatly influenced the course of history. These molecules provided the impetus for early exploration, and made possible the voyages of discovery that ensued. The molecules resulted in grand feats of engineering and spurred advances in medicine and law; they determined what we now eat, drink, and wear. A change as small as the position of an atom can lead to enormous alterations in the properties of a substance.

    If you could sum up Napoleon's Buttons in three words, what would they be?

    Great read, fabulous info, good narrative, history we never get in school.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Napoleon's Buttons?

    The tin button fell apart under severe winter condition causing Napoleon's defeat - how simple.


    Any additional comments?

    Not recommended read for simpletons devoid of education in sciences, history and deprived of intellectual curiosity, I believe.

    At first glance, the events in this book may seem equal parts science fiction and legal thriller. Unfortunately, this is a true story of blinding greed, cruel deceit, unfortunate circumstance, and powerful human tragedy. It has villains and heroes, but it does not yet have a good ending. It is the story of asbestos in America.

    If you could sum up Fatal Deception in three words, what would they be?

    Very relevant warning.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Fatal Deception?

    The whole story is a shocking account of ignorance as to the dangers of asbestos and the fact that nobody cares to stop that horrible tragedy.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    It does seem to be a good scrip for a movie. Erin Brokovich would make a good leading actress.


    Any additional comments?

    My British friend just got diagnosed with mesothelioma, to everyone's big surprise since all his life he was never exposed to it, he is a writer. Or we might only think so?????

    Again and again, microbes have shaped our health, our genetics, our history, our culture, our politics, even our religion and ethics. This book reveals much that scientists and cultural historians have learned about the pervasive interconnections between infectious microbes and humans. It also considers what our ongoing fundamental relationship with infectious microbes might mean for the future of the human species.

    Would you listen to Germs, Genes, & Civilization: How Epidemics Shaped Who We Are Today again? Why?

    We don't think about it, but that is what makes us tick - germs and genes.
    I'm lucky to have stumbled upon this book - it has already changed my life.
    I'll never see the world the same again.


    What other book might you compare Germs, Genes, & Civilization: How Epidemics Shaped Who We Are Today to and why?

    I think of another eye-opener like


    Have you listened to any of Summer McStravick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I don't recall.

    Yes, definitely and I did!

    Is there any translation into any other European language so I can share it with my friends?

    Chronic pain affects more than 8.5 million people in the UK and costs the economy 18 billion pounds a year in lost work days; while an estimated 30%, or up to 70 million people, also suffer in the US, where it’s said to be the most costly health problem. Yet, according to one study, two out of three people say that their medication is not always adequate, while 96% of GPs believe there is significant room for improving treatment.

    Where was this book 20 years ago when we needed it so badly? Why it is not a compulsory lecture in any faculty of medicine?
