Book Reviews of Valley Fever Epidemic
Book Review: The ONLY authoritative discussion of this disease. MUST READ
Summary: 5 Stars
I was diagnosed 2 years ago with a disseminated version of Coccidiodmycosis in my liver, kidneys, intestines and joints that put me in the hospital. 4 of our dogs were diagnosed with Cocci as well (3 severe disseminated versions and 1 pulmonary) I almost died and one of our dogs did die before a correct diagnosis was made. In the intervening two years, two of our dogs and I have all had nasty reactivations of the cocci despite having left the endemic area of deep West Texas we loved - where we contracted this fungus. We are 300 miles from the nearest confirmed fungal zone - no cure and no promise that this will not reactivate again in the future. Make no mistake... this miniscule fungal spore can kill you and it will darn sure change you life in ways you cannot predict or prepare for. Afterall.... Cocci Immitus and Cocci Pasadasii are considered bio terrorism threats to only be handled in Level 3 or 4 Bio-hazard labs.
"Valley Fever Epidemic" is the only book on this disease out there of any substance. It contains real information and more importantly, it's CURRENT information. The facts and info in the book are well researched and written in language that every one should be able to understand, digest and remember. I have spent two years educating doctor after doctor and multiple veterinarians about Cocci - from symptoms to what titer numbers to look out for, and suggested treatment plans from other doctors familiar with Valley Fever. FINALLY there is a single book that I can pass out and share with family, friends who don't have a clue why I feel like dirt 20 days out of 30, medical providers, and pharmacists who always think the length of the prescriptions are 6 months too long and must be a typo!
