    5.0 out of 5 stars Helicobacter: A peculiar epidemic
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Helicobacter has been a revelation as a germ related to peptic ulcer and mainly of precancerous gastric lessions. The book is a really exitant narrative of the steps conducing to this assertion and to the knowledge that many millions of human beings have it in their stomach. The editor and author of one autobiographical chapter, Barry Marshall is also one of the scientists which discovered this amazing relationship, and describe in great detail his predecessors contribution on the previous one hundred years.Among the collaborators are some people that contributed to the book withfisthand accounts of their own research and contrributions to the discovery of the bactery itself and also of its role as peptic ulcer and gastric cancer etiological agent. Thed presence of the germ in gastric lessons, the polossibility to develop experimental ulcers and transmit it to experimentation animals are described in vivid and exiting accounts. The final step is the paralell and related work by Marshall and Robin Warren in Perth, Austrealia, solving the riddle of peptic ulcer disease and bringing them to a Nobel Prize.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Case study in how rare evidence-based medicine is practiced!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2012
    This book illustrate a common pattern in medicine where evidence is ignored based on quasi-religious beliefs that MDs are not willing to challenge. It was 39 years after John Lykoudis discovered that antibiotics worked before there was an attempt by CDC to educate most MDs that ulcers were caused by a bacteria and not by a psychological problem of worrying too much!

    Today, the same situation happens with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome -- despite many studies on PubMed, finding that antibiotics did no harms, and some courses resulted in a 70-90% remission rate, MD's continue to deem it psychological. There's not a single published study contradicting the use of antibiotics -- just quasi-religious resistance by MDs..... and CFS affects 2% of the population with a large percentage on Social Security Disability (at tax payer's expense). The way to reduce SSI payments and increase tax revenue is to compel MDs to offer antibiotics.... (or impose a special tax on their income that pays for all of the SSI payements!)

    5.0 out of 5 stars A marvelous review of why medicine and science often fail
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    A key section of the book is a full page table showing the findings of different scientists whose work could have led them to conclude that bacteria, not excessive acid secretion, cause gastric and duodenal ulcers. Smack in the middle is a 1954 paper from the Professor of Gastroenterology at a leading medical institution declaring that bacteria do not cause gastric ulcers. The Medical "God" had spoken and the problem was solved. As a result research for a bacterial cause of upper intestinal ulceration was discredited. Fortunately two Australians who did not know any better, produced the evidence to disprove the "God".

    Dr Barry Marshall, the physician member of the pathologist/physician duo who solved the riddle and so won the 2005 Nobel Prize for Medicine, continues to reveal his iconoclastic nature in this book. For as Editor of this book, he invited that special group of scientists whose work could also have led to their discovery of the bacterial cause of ulceration, to describe what they did and what they concluded. None seems at all bitter that they failed to discover the Holy Grail and each story is fascinating.

    I was left to ask the question: Why did medical scientists from my Medical School not discover the bacterial cause of upper intestinal ulceration (since the same evidence available to Drs Warren and Marshall could have been available to them)? It is a universal question.

    The answer has something to do with Medical "Gods" and the role of science, or its absence, in clinical medicine.
