    World Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 799min
    Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem man's diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics, and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment. ungekürzt.

    Vitamin C: Essential Element of Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
    Vitamic C is one of the most important nutrients that is required for different types of functions in the human body. World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes it as an important nutrient and has included it in their model list of essential medicines. Vitamin C is known as L-ascorbic acid and is present naturally in many foods. It is also available as dietary supplement and was the first to be produced chemically. It is a powerful antioxidant and has a whole lot of benefits, which include protection of the heart, reduction of the bad cholesterol, and protection against several cancers by fighting free radicals.

    John Ransom's Diary: Andersonville , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    This book is an extraordinary day-to-day documentary of the Civil War's most infamous Confederate prison, Camp Sumter, better known as Andersonville. Here 13,000 wretched Union prisoners died within barely 14 months, from starvation, scurvy, and other diseases that spread through the camp. There was little shelter but makeshift tents; little in the way of blankets, warm clothing, or even shoes; and a scarcity of food and fresh water. Often the men were forced to sleep on the muddy ground in very crowded conditions. While the deplorable conditions bear witness to man's inhumanity to man, they also are witness to one man's undaunted spirit to survive to tell the dreadful tale. The narrative in the diary reflects John Ransom's attitudes, changing from the moody early staccato sentences when he is first captured, to resignation, and eventually to cheerful prose when the war draws to a close. ungekürzt.

    Randomistas: How Radical Researchers Are Changing Our World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
    Celebrated voice actor P.J. Ochlan lends his talents to this brilliant audiobook which highlights the use and impact of randomized studies as a path to provable truths in classic "Gladwell-esque" style. Social scientists have adopted the practices of more traditional scientists in the past few decades - using randomized trials to design policies aimed at improving educational levels, lowering crime rates, elevating employment rates, and improving living standards among the poor. Andrew Leigh and P.J. Ochlan bring the lives of these radical researchers to life as their experiments to overturn conventional wisdom lead to breakthroughs like finding the cure for scurvy and discovering what policies really improve literacy rates. Providing a fascinating account of key studies from across the globe and the challenges randomistas have faced in getting these studies accepted, Leigh reveals how these groundbreaking scientists have shaped life as we know it.    ungekürzt.
