Thomas Patterson

A "fascinating and terrifying" memoir of one woman's extraordinary effort to save her husband's life (Scientific American) - and the discovery of a forgotten cure that has the potential to save millions more. Epidemiologist Steffanie Strathdee and her husband, psychologist Tom Patterson, were vacationing in Egypt when Tom came down with a stomach bug. What at first seemed like a case of food poisoning quickly turned critical, and by the time Tom had been transferred via emergency medevac to the world-class medical center at UC San Diego, where both he and Steffanie worked, blood work revealed why modern medicine was failing: Tom was fighting one of the most dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the world. Frantic, Steffanie combed through research old and new and came across phage therapy: the idea that the right virus, aka "the perfect predator," can kill even the most lethal bacteria. Phage treatment had fallen out of favor almost 100 years ago, after antibiotic use went mainstream. Now, with time running out, Steffanie appealed to phage researchers all over the world for help. She found allies at the FDA, researchers from Texas A&M, and a clandestine Navy biomedical center - and together they resurrected a forgotten cure. A nail-biting medical mystery, The Perfect Predator is a story of love and survival against all odds, and the (re)discovery of a powerful new weapon in the global superbug crisis.

Remember now God is Spirit (Gospel of John 4:24) and it is the Spirit that bears witness, because Spirit is truth. (1 John 5:6) So it was the Spirit of God who spoke by the mouth of the prophets of old, the apostles and yes Jesus the Christ. (Acts 1:2), (Ephesians 3:1-7) Also (Psalm 119:160) says: the entirety of Your word is truth. And Jesus said to our Father in the (Gospel of John 17:17) Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. This means the entirety of the Bible is God's word, because it was the Spirit who bore witness in the holy men of God in the Bible. (Acts 1:16) says: the Holy Spirit spoke by the mouth of David. (Acts 28:25): The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through the prophet Isaiah. (Gospel of Luke 1:70): As He (God) spoke by the mouth of His Holy prophets who have been since the world began. Please don't forget what Jesus said in the (Gospel of John 18:37) Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice. So do you have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches through His word? (Hebrews 3:7-8), (Psalm 119:72 and 88, ) (1 Kings 17:24), (Job 23:12), (Zachariah 7:12), (Ecclesiastes 12:10-11), (Nehemiah 9:30), (Hebrews 10.7), The Shepherd has said, the sheep hear my voice and they follow Me. (Gospel of John 10:4)ThomasThe Bible is not the word of men but the word of God
