How to Survive a Pandemic

Missing details on vaccine validity and use of masks. Also draconian methods of containment
I found no mention of nutrition as a facilitator to help lessen or not feel the impact of the COVID 19 virus. Only the mention of a mandatory vaccine. As I understand from virologists like Judy Mikovits who put her life and career on the line for truth, these vaccines you are pushing have animal intestinal tissue (because that's where they are grown) and as you said animals have viruses. So do the animal viruses that you intend to inject us with have a purpose? Does lead and mercury and a host of other damaging chemicals need to be in those vaccines. Not to mention the fact that you cannot sue the Vaccine companies because in the 80s they were given a free pass to make vaccines without regulation and harm the public without accountability.I also understand, not only from Judy Mikovits but also Bruce Lipton, Dr. Rashid Buttar that masks cause oxygen deprivation which lowers your immune system which causes you to contract what? viruses, bacteria whatever.I find it insulting that the measures you propose to stop the vaccine come from a WHO that has murdered, maimed, sterilize, thousands of women in Africa and India. In addition the draconian measures pushed by the WHO are based upon an elite Chinese Communist Nation that treats their people tyrannically. I base my life on the US Constitution and anyone or anything that tries to usurp or hinder my rights or infringe upon that is not going to get any support. (Reference, in your book taking people from their homes and mandating tests. Hey most of us are living in one bathroom apartments. Break up families-we are already quarantined and without work) In fact, as you do, I will protest, protest protest until this situation comes to a halt without infringement on our rights. We need a phased approach to herd immunity. As you have said many times, the body when given the right foods, takes care of itself. What's with this book which is 180 degrees from your philosophy. The American people need empowerment not an endless litany of fear based unresolved viral warnings. Clean up our food supply, give us clean water, give us clean air. Stop feeding us poisons. Handcuff big Pharma and hold them accountable. Isn't the 3rd most prevalent reason for death in this country doctors and hospitals. Now why would I trust anything these groups have to say.

A Sobering Read
As usual, Dr. Greger doesn't disappoint. Probably more facts than you may want to know, but fascinating. His science-based approach to all his books is a welcome relief from all the misinformation out there. Who knew that the not-for-profit author of How Not to Die, How Not to Diet, and founder of the Nutrition Facts Org Website specialized in Infectious Disease in earlier years? This is timely information for the world, with explanations of how this virus came to infect humans, it's attributes as we know them at this point, comparisons between prior viruses, preparedness, survival and preventing future pandemics. Looking forward to purchasing the hard copy as well, but couldn't wait. I almost cried knowing I have lost the opportunity to ask my grandparents about the pandemic of 1918. Oh to hear about it firsthand! Definitely a sobering and educating read and realization of how we came to this point, and where we need to head.

A book that couldn't be more timely, HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC shows us what we need to be doing NOW
I have known of Dr. Michael Greger's work before, but when I heard about the book HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC I believed it was one of the most timely books that was being released in a year of fear and uncertainty.Does he ACTUALLY share HOW to survive a pandemic? Yes he does, BUT before we get there he gives us a much-needed and informative history lessons of pandemic and where things like the Coronavirus come from. Why is that important? Well it sets the stage of allowing us to know how we got here, and what we need to do moving forward.Voices like Dr. Gregory are needed when so many people are looking for truth. He gives it to you in a way that is timely, real and actionable. Can we get through the times that are affecting people around the world? YES. The question is are we willing to make the changes and do the work necessary to do so.

Fast-paced, thoroughly researched, in typical Greger style
I have enjoyed Dr. Greger's previous books, and I very much enjoyed this one.Okay, so perhaps not "enjoyed" exactly, but it's fast-paced and thoroughly researched, and I feel much more knowledgeable about pandemics (and esp. the history, causes, and method of preventing future pandemics).The depth of detail in this book is similar to the depth Dr. Greger brings to his previous books, but in this one, the story-telling element is front-and-center through most of the book, so I also received a history lesson, which was fascinating (though it does make the Covid-19 situation feel a bit like deja vu).I hope that policy-makers will read this book, since the recommendations for how to change society in order to decrease likelihood of the next pandemic are excellent.Read this book; you'll be glad you did.

Compeling - I was totally unaware that a bird flu pandemic is very likely within 10 years.
Dr. Greger's How not to diet change my life -for the better.I now have a 99% plant-based diet (I eat some goat cheese and free-range eggs)I was extremely impressed with his depth of understanding and ability to describe a very complex subject.His new book is changing my life even more.I will work on improving the immune systems of chickens around the world so as to prevent a pandemic bird flu - which Dr. Greger points out will be much worse than COVID-19.I feel that there is a chance that giving Vitamin D to chickens will be a win-win-win-win-win. Bird Flu will not have as much chance to mutate, Chickens live a healthier life, increased Vitamin D in chicken meat and eggs, healthier consumers, less use of antibiotics, etc.Dr. Geger points out that many thing have been tried to prevent bird flu, but I feel that Vitamin D might be a good solution. Lahore "vitamin d"

Evidence based, scientific brilliance!
If you're not familiar with Michael Greger, MD I urge you to take a little time to familiarise yourself with him and his brilliant work. You can check out his free web based info portal at - NUTRITIONFACTS.ORGThis is the fourth of his four books, of which I have all of the others and I can quite honestly say that collectively they have been life changing. Not only for me but for my family too. This book, whilst heavily laden with scientific information and statistics is an easily readable book, for ANYONE. Michael Greger, MD interlaces humour with facts that combine to make this tomb of just under 600 pages an enjoyable, fluid read.Until November 2019 I ate very little else other than red meat, chicken eggs and dairy (copious amounts of whey). I trainined intensively and to a high level and thought I felt well...UNTIL, after watching a documentary on plant based eating, I decided to try a three month experiment of eating a 'vegan' diet. Now several months later I can not explain the tremendous difference in my energy levels and mental wellbeing. I feel fabulous. Like many people I probably felt low grade 'well' for most of my life, but if this becomes your norm, you're really missing out.It really is possible to achieve optimal health through eating densly nutritious foods and the better our health...microbiome etc, the more of a chance our body has at fighting off harmful invasive pathogens in the forms of bacteria and viruses. We can either be intelligent about the things we choose to eat, or dig our own graves with our teeth.I have worked extensively in mental health for 36 years, latterly at senior levels and have witnessed how transformative changes in nutrition can be. I guess the best proof you can obtain is by trying things out for yourself. Someone like Michael Greger only bases his facts on available evidence, all of which you can check out for yourself. This really could be a life changing book for those who choose to read it!

Eye opening, a must read
It's the 2nd book after How Not to Die of Dr Greger that has opened my eyes and anchored my aim to eat only whole food, plant based diet.He speaks more about the history and frightening future of pandemic rather how to survive it, although it does point out ways how to secure yourself and others around us.Must read for everyone - we are all in this together and if we (all humanity) don't change our lifestyle then we are facing a grim fate. It's not time to be scared but to understand, plan and be ready. Awerness is essential.

Might Just Save Your Life
A lot of theory, which is fine, but the chapter on Surviving The Next Pandemic might make this the best £8.99 you'll ever spend.

Everyone should read this book.
Dr Greger elequently summaries the problems of modern society and its insatiable appetite for meat. Highlighting the problems intensive farming techniques have caused and will undoubtedly cause in the future if we, the human race, do not change what we eat.

I can’t put this book down! Such an eye opener.
While the content is scary, especially the first chapter! It is critical that people read this. Like all Dr Greger’s books the research and the effort that has gone into producing this book is 2nd to none. Highly, Highly recommended.
