An Epidemic Of Absence by Deborah Velasquez
In this compelling exploration of modern health, the author delves into the intriguing hypothesis that the rise in autoimmune diseases and allergies in the developed world is linked to the absence of certain microorganisms and parasites that once coexisted with humans. Through a blend of scientific research, historical context, and personal anecdotes, the narrative examines how the hygiene hypothesis and the loss of biodiversity in our internal ecosystems might be contributing to the surge in chronic illnesses. The book challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between cleanliness, health, and the unseen world of microbes that play a crucial role in our well-being.
