"Jonathan Quick offers a compelling and intensely readable plan to prevent worldwide infectious outbreaks. The End of Epidemics is essential reading for those who might be affected by a future pandemic--that is, just about everyone."--Sandeep Jauhar, bestselling author of Heart: A History
The 2020 outbreak of coronavirus has terrified the world--and revealed how unprepared we are for the next outbreak of an infectious disease. Somewhere in nature, a killer virus is boiling up in the bloodstream of a bird, bat, monkey, or pig, preparing to jump to a human being. This not-yet-detected germ has the potential to wipe out millions of lives over a matter of weeks or months. That risk makes the threat posed by ISIS, a ground war, a massive climate event, or even the dropping of a nuclear bomb on a major city pale in comparison. In The End of Epidemics, Duke Global Health Institute faculty member and past Chair of the Global Health Council Dr. Jonathan D. Quick examines the eradication of smallpox and devastating effects of influenza, AIDS, SARS, Ebola, and other viral diseases . Analyzing local and global efforts to contain these diseases and citing firsthand accounts of failure and success, Dr. Quick proposes a new set of actions which he has coined The Power of Seven, to end epidemics before they can begin. These actions include: - Spending prudently to prevent disease before an epidemic strikes, rather than spending too little, too late- Ensuring prompt, open, and accurate communication between nations and aid agencies, instead of secrecy and territorial disputes
- Fighting disease and preventing panic with innovation and good science Practical and urgent, The End of Epidemics is crucial reading for citizens, health professionals, and policy makers alike. "Dr. Quick's urgent message makes one hope that this book will reach a huge audience and that its exhortations will be acted on everywhere."--The Wall Street Journal

This product is da' BALM! (a softening balm that's the best moisturizer for all skin types!)
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So many of these are all over social media and I wasn't sure to order a whipped version, or just a balm, so I went with the balm and I'm totally satisfied. No breakouts to my sensitive, mature dry skin, and the scent is light citrus and non-lingering. I suggest to lightly swirl finger tips inside the container in a circular motion and scoop a tiny amount then rub both fingertips together to warm the product as this is key to make it glide smoothly onto your skin, otherwise, you are having to re-dip into the product and use more than you will need. I use it AM/PM right after my facial serums, and follow with SPF moisturizer. I'm not a fan of foundation or powder to avoid the caked on look, but use a little creme blush when heading to work, and will dab a little concealer where needed too. I've been using my Ancestral Haven Beef Tallow/Honey Balm a couple of weeks now and my pores seem smaller than when using any of my previous French pricey skin products! I use this on my face and lightly under eyes, neck, decollete and the heels/sides of my feet every morning. Any remaining product I apply to top my hands. It absorbs quickly without being greasy. If you experience an oily result, then lighten your next application as the product is light if you don't warm it up with your fingertips. I highly recommend and can't wait to tell my dermatologist about it too! Oh and my 86 years young mom uses this daily and loves it too! (Christmas gifts coming her way so she doesn't deplete my supply - lol).

Tried 100’s of product and this is all my son lets me use on him willingly!
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The ONLY product I can put on my child’s eczema and allergy problematic skin and not irritate his skin. My son has TERRIBLE SKIN that is EXTREMELY sensitive and to top that off, he also picks at his scabs. This is the only product I’ve ever been able to use on him and use up the entire product because he doesn’t breakout in a rash, it doesn’t sting his skin in even the worst of areas that are freshly picked scabs, and that’s a huge deal for us! It is extremely moisturizing and although slightly greasy, it’s a much better feeling on the skin then what you get from a Aquaphor or petroleum jelly. That and my son absolutely cannot stand the texture of Aquaphor and petroleum jelly, but with the tallow, he doesn’t hardly say a word as long as I don’t put it on too thick. This can be layered for extra protection in problem areas, or worked into the skin and absorbs quite nicely and feels fantastic! It has a very mild scent that I truly love, but the scent doesn’t really travel outside the jar so you know it’s very minimal. After the hundreds of products that I’ve tried and the thousands of dollars wasted over the years, I will continue to purchase this as my holy grail for my son’s extremely sensitive skin condition. Thank you so much!!!! And I will upload pictures of before and after so be sure to see how well it’s healed his skin within a week of use!

Amazing smell, awesome price, and nothing synthetic
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a new staple in my skincare regimen! With no synthetic perfumes dyes, or preservatives, it smells wonderful, melts into my skin without leaving a greasy film. I use it morning and evening on my face and body, and my skin never feels dry. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized and I have this on subscription. The price is great, at about $20 for 5 Oz of nonwhipped, but soft, balm.

Perfect consistency and gentle enough for rosacea
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is one of the best tallow-based moisturizers I’ve tried. I rarely leave reviews, but this product truly deserves one. The consistency is perfect—rich and nourishing without feeling heavy or greasy, and it absorbs beautifully into the skin. It doesn’t feel thick or like you’re wearing a mask.
The scent is also very mild with a light hint of orange that fades quickly after application, which I really appreciate since many natural products can be overpowering.
I have rosacea and very sensitive skin, and this is one of the few natural skincare products that hasn’t caused irritation or redness. It leaves my skin feeling calm, hydrated, and balanced.
If you’re looking for a high-quality tallow moisturizer for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
