BOOKS L-FORMS, EPISOMES AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE. E & S Livingstone Ltd. Edinburgh and London by Phyllis Evelyn Pease, Ph.D. (1965). All theories of 'autoimmune' disease are at present unsatisfactory, and in some ways the views expressed in this book seem to make good biological sense. What is needed to strengthen the case is more direct evidence for the existence of the postulated entities in the diseases under discussion. The book can be strongly recommended as a source of thought‑provoking ideas. F L JACKSON Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine Vol. 59 May 1966 AIDS, CANCER AND ARTHRITIS – A NEW PERSPECTIVE by Phyllis Evelyn Pease D.Sc PhD (2005/6) The straightforward, dispassionate analyses in this book of the experimental techniques used and the quality of the evidence they generate gives important grounds for concern, especially given the seriousness of the world-wide AIDS epidemic, and the huge investment in research based on the assumption that there is no other possible cause of AIDS than HIV. I found it both a stimulating and a very salutary book to read - especially at a time when public scepticism about the outcomes of certain types of scientific research has reached a worrying level. It is very important that the critical analyses made in this book are widely read. SIR DAVID SMITH FRS See Blog Many thanks for your wonderful book on AIDS, CANCER AND ARTHRITIS. And special thanks for the honour you gave me by using my plant tumour photo on the front page as well as writing on our ethylene work: "... has been elegantly demonstrated by Aloni et al (1998)". I have read all the information on the plant tumours, which is very well written and in a very attractive way. PROFESSOR RONI ALONI, University of Tel Aviv Your diagrams with associated captions are particularly helpful. It’s wonderful to read a work in this field from someone whose professional background equips them so well for the insights and discussion you provide. NEVILLE HODGKINSON former Medical Correspondent Sunday Times See Review Essay - links I learned a great deal from this book, about mycoplasmas and microbiology and virology in general, not only about HIV/AIDS. Among other things, the book gives a concise and cogent discussion of the lack of evidence that HIV has ever been properly isolated. I recommend this book unreservedly. HENRY BAUER emeritus professor of Chemistry Virginia Tech.
