A groundbreaking look at the connection between germs and mental illness, and how we can protect ourselves. Is it possible to catch autism or OCD the same way we catch the flu? Can a child's contact with cat litter lead to schizophrenia? In her eye-opening new book, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Harriet Washington reveals that we can in fact "catch" mental illness. In Infectious Madness, Washington presents the new germ theory, which posits not only that many instances of Alzheimer's, OCD, and schizophrenia are caused by viruses, prions, and bacteria, but also that with antibiotics, vaccinations, and other strategies, these cases can be easily prevented or treated. Packed with cutting-edge research and tantalizing mysteries, Infectious Madness is rich in science, characters, and practical advice on how to protect yourself and your children from exposure to infectious threats that could sabotage your mental and physical health.Binding Type: Paperback

The book is so not fun to read
Format: Paperback
Nothing with the seller, it's just the book that I don't like. Black and white, full of info and boring

It HAS helped with my energy levels!
Size: 360 Count (Pack of 1)
Might be better to take the powder, because I end up taking 12 of these tablets at a time to get the 6 grams of spirulina I want to take. But because they are simpler and cleaner than a powder would be, I may just stick with this! I have noticed my body has more stable energy on the days I remember to take this. And I can take them on an empty stomach which tells me they don’t have toxins or bad preservatives.

Quality Spirulina, A "Superfood"
Size: 360 Count (Pack of 1)
Google Spirulina if you don't know what it is. In short, it's from algae (in this case) that has been shown to provide many health benefits, and studies are underway to validate other claims. One important value: it is one of the few foods that cover essential amino acids. As I said, do your own research. I'm relating what I read and my personal experience.
This is, so far, the best spirulina I've found. It is a raw product, vegan, certified organic (by USDA), and proven "bio-active," meaning for me, I absorb it well.
It does have an "algae taste" and mild odor (of same). This is difficult to describe, but call it a mild "hay" tone to the flavor. Since it's a pill, it shouldn't bother you. I did notice it the first few weeks, though.
IMPORTANT: Not recommended for anyone suffering from phenylketonuria. Ask a medical professional first.
