Poisoned Needle
By Eleanor McBean Ph.D.
For the past 2000 years,
physicians have been looking in the wrong direction for the cure of
disease. Their worse than useless practice of killing germs with
poison drugs can never solve the problem of disease. The cause of
disease is stubbornly ignored and the seeds for more disease are
sown with the use of vaccination. This infusion of poison into the
masses only serves to intensify the disease in some cases, suppress
the symptoms in others, and create new and more serious disease.
Thus, the simple zymotic diseases of the past have devolved into
the horrors of the present – our terrifying and expanding crop of
“killer diseases”. Eleanor McBean has accumulated compelling
evidence regarding the vaccination of the masses, the role of
politics and profit, and reasons we should reject the poisoned
needle.

Vivisection or
Science?
By Prof Pietro Croce
(New English Edition)
As the stream of hi-tech drugs
continues to multiply and a huge number of animals (in Britain
alone, over two and a half million each year) are used in medical
experiments, debate continues about reliable methods for biomedical
research and their adequacy in protecting human health from new
products and procedures.
In this book, a leading Italian medical researcher concludes, after
years of himself practising animal experimentation and vivisection,
that the traditional reliance on these techniques is scientifically
misplaced.
Published originally in Italian (where it has been through many
editions), translated into German and Japanese, and now available
in a completely revised and updated edition in English, Professor
Croce's classic work constitutes a powerful argument to which both
the general public and the medical profession need to pay
attention.
He documents with a wealth of fascinating detail precisely how the
scientific anti-vivisection movement has constructed a rational
case, as opposed to a sentimental or ethical argument.
He highlights the increasing dangers to human health resulting from
the animal experimenters' assumption that the biological systems of
humans and other species are sufficiently similar for valid
biomedical comparison.
Professor Pietro Croce headed the Research Laboratory of the L.
Sacco Hospital in Milan for many years, in addition to working in
various research departments in US and Spanish hospitals. He is the
author of a number of medical works in Italian and Spanish.

The Animals are Our Brothers
and Sisters
By Werner Hartinger, M.D.
Respected surgeon and medical
doctor Werner Hartinger investigates the claims and counterclaims
concerning experimentation on animals. Through meticulous analysis
he comes to the conclusion that animal experiments are not only
unnecessary, but that the experiments themselves are questionable
and lead to meaningless results.
Dr. Hartinger writes from many years’ experience within the medical
profession, and with ample scientific data to back his findings. He
also tackles the spiritual aspect of this question, inspired by the
work of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. The author gives a
commentary on Christian teachings regarding animals, examining the
biblical commandments. He also studies the varieties of diseases
and their causes, and the hidden aspects of sickness and
health.
Werner Haringer, M.D, was a specialist in General and Accident
Surgery and a practitioner for the Industrial Injuries Insurance
Institutes, with over 30 years’ experience in hospital and private
practice. He held degrees in Internal Medicine, Gynaecology,
Obstetrics and Anaesthetics, and was the Chairman of the German
League of Doctors Against Animal Experiments as well as a Patron of
Doctors in Britain Against Animal Experiments. He died in
2000.

Confessions of a Medical
Heretic
By Robert S Mendelsohn, M.D.
This new release of the
critically acclaimed bestseller gives readers the information
needed to help make their own medical decisions. Dr. Mendelsohn,
world-famous Physician and patient advocate, was a pioneer in the
movement toward truth in the medical profession. Here he explains
why Modern Medicine’s methods are often more dangerous than the
diseases they are designed to diagnose and treat. This provocative
book covers issues from unnecessary surgery and prescribed drugs to
preventive medicine and home birth. At a time when people are more
concerned than ever with total health and how to achieve it, this
is a book you can’t afford to ignore.
Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, known to millions through his nationally
syndicated column as “The People’s Doctor,” was the national
medical director of Project Head Start and chairman of the Medical
Licensure Committee for the state of Illinois. Among the many
faculty and hospital posts he held, he was an associate professor
of the University of Illinois Medical School and a director of
Chicago’s Michael Reese Hospital. His other books include Male
Practice: how Doctors Manipulate Women and How to Raise a Healthy
Child…in spite of Your Doctor.
Confessions of a Medical Heretic is published by Contemporary
Books.

When the Nightingale Sang
By Rosalind Franklin
(The nursing life of Cynthia O’Neill S.R.N., S.C.M., QN.,
H.V.)
Cynthia O’Neill began her SRN
training at Hammersmith Hospital in 1956, a time a nurse was not
allowed to speak unless spoken to, and as nothing was disposable,
everything had to be scrubbed and sterilised before re-use. More
time seemed to be spent by a nurse polishing bedpans than caring
for her patients!
After achieving her SRN, Cynthia went on to do Midwifery, Queens
Nurse and Health Visitor Training. In 1961, she went to work as a
District Nurse in Sussex.
However, this book is about far more than nursing: this is a burst
of nostalgia for all lovers of the 50’s and 60’s.
As ‘Rock and Roll’ burst upon the scene, and the Cold War rages, a
young woman struggles to juggle her career and love life in the
days before ‘Women’s Lib’.
