WASHINGTON, May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Michael Greger, MD, FACLM, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, leader in the field of pandemic prevention, founder of NutritionFacts.org, and author of the bestselling books How Not to Die and How Not to Diet, has turned his attention to the COVID-19 pandemic—how to survive it and how to prevent the next deadly outbreak.

His new book, How to Survive a Pandemic: Overcoming COVID-19 and Preventing the Next Deadly Outbreak, is currently available for pre-order and will officially be released on May 26, 2020. All proceeds Dr. Greger receives will be donated to charity.

This timely text discusses the pathogens that cause pandemics and how to face them. From tuberculosis and measles to AIDS and COVID-19, these infectious diseases share a common origin story: human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these infections—both pre-existing ones and those newly identified—have sparked some of the deadliest plagues in history.

Dr. Greger cuts through the prevailing noise and confusion and reveals not only what can be done to protect people during a pandemic, but also digs deeper into the roots of the problem and tackles the fundamental question: How can the emergence of pandemic viruses be stopped in the first place? If there is one concept Dr. Greger draws from his work on preventing and reversing chronic disease, it is that we must—whenever possible—treat the cause.
