Dissolving Illusions - Disease,vaccines and the forgotten history
Suzanne Humphries, MD and Roman Bystrianyk

The format of this book is somewhat unconventional, as it is filled with many direct quotes from
a wide variety of historical and medical sources. We decided on this format to give you
unfiltered information that will help you gain better insight into the true history of disease and
vaccination. Oftentimes each quote tells a unique, self-contained story that can draw the reality
of the past into view much better than a distilled summary would.
The book contains more than 50 graphs that are based on meticulously researched data. Each
graph lists the references upon which the data is based. The graphs provide—in most cases—a
never-before-seen view of the history of disease from the 1800s into the 1900s. They provide
foundational evidence for the points presented in the text.
The book also includes many photographs extracted from numerous historic sources. Most of the
photographs are presented with the exact captions that appeared in the original work.
Throughout the book, bold text indicates something that we think warrants special attention.
