In "Probiotics - Protection Against Infection" we find clear evidence for probiotics' ability to directly engage and defeat infectious microorganisms. We find new clinical proof of probiotics' ability to specifically boost the immune system while under attack. Here we find the scientific facts separated from the hype and the myths; and the amazing discovery that we can fight fire with fire, as long as we properly arm ourselves with the correct strategies for achieving and nurturing strong probiotic colonies.

Ewald, Paul W.. Evolution of Infectious Disease. New York: Oxford University Press, USA, 1996.
Findings from the field of evolutionary biology are yielding dramatic insights for health scientists, especially those involved in the fight against infectious diseases. This book is the first in-depth presentation of these insights. In detailing why the pathogens that cause malaria, smallpox, mad cow disease, tuberculosis, and AIDS have their special kinds of deadliness, the book shows how efforts to control virtually all diseases would benefit from a more thorough application of evolutionary principles

No matter what you're told, what you've got, how bad it gets, never feel helpless about your health again. This book presents a workable model for how the different parts of you, physical, emotional and the deeper parts, interact with each other and how, when they are out of sync, cause symptoms.
Koella, C., and Stephen C. Stearns. Evolution in Health and Disease. 2 ed. New York: Oxford University Press, USA, 2008.
Evolution in Health and Disease describes how evolutionary thinking gives valuable insights and fresh perspectives into human health and disease, establishing evolutionary biology as an essential complementary science for medicine. Integrating evolutionary thought into medical research and practice helps to explain the origins of many medical conditions, including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergies, other autoimmune diseases, and aging.
