Animal Pharm cover

Mark Purdey's Animal Pharm reveals the disturbing connections between environmental pollutants and neurodegenerative diseases, challenging established narratives and advocating for a paradigm shift in health understanding.

In Animal Pharm, Mark Purdey embarks on a profound journey to uncover the hidden links between environmental pollutants and neurodegenerative diseases. His life took a pivotal turn in 1984 when he was confronted by a Ministry of Agriculture inspector demanding that he administer a toxic organophosphate pesticide to his dairy herd. Purdey, a staunch advocate for organic farming, refused to comply, which ignited a fierce legal battle against the Ministry. This pivotal moment became the catalyst for his relentless pursuit of the truth regarding the origins of Mad Cow Disease and variant CJD.

Throughout his investigation, Purdey faced immense challenges, including bureaucratic obstacles and attempts to discredit his work by established scientific communities. Undeterred, he continued to dig deeper into the potential connections between toxic environmental factors and the onset of various diseases. His journey took him across the globe, from Iceland to Sardinia, Colorado, and Australia, as he sought to reveal the dangerous secrets lurking behind industrial practices, pesticide use, and nuclear experiments.

Animal Pharm is not just a personal narrative; it serves as a wake-up call for society to reconsider the implications of pollution on health. Through his compelling research and unwavering determination, Purdey sheds light on the urgent need for a paradigm shift in how we understand the relationship between environmental toxins and human health. His story resonates with readers, urging them to question the status quo and advocate for a healthier planet.

Instead he has been shot at, his phone lines have been cut and his house has been burnt down. The Ministry of Agriculture, which for 50 years has enjoyed a dangerously close relationship with the agrochemical industry, has repeatedly sought to discredit him.' - George Monbiot
