"The Last Lovers on Earth" is the first collection of short stories by Charles Ortleb. The stories capture the precarious position of gay people in America today. With unprecedented insight, Ortleb uses humor to tell painful truths about where the gay community has been and where it is headed.Three stories from the collection were the basis of the hilarious and disturbing independent film, "The Last Lovers on Earth" which is available as a DVD and for instant viewing on Amazon.
The second volume of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up puts Charles Ortleb in the same league as historians like William L. Shirer and political thinkers like Hannah Arendt. Inspired by Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism," Ortleb weaves together a tapestry of the forces and personalities that played a major role in hiding the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS from the public. He challenges most of the conventional wisdom about the science and politics of the two epidemics. Anyone who wants to know why the Centers for Disease Control cannot tell the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome needs to know what the Centers for Disease Control is hiding about AIDS and why. Ortleb's second volume is uncompromising as it inexorably lays out the details of a narrative that will disturb anyone who is concerned about public health and the integrity of science and medicine.
This bold, uncompromising book is the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the AIDS and chronic fatigue syndrome epidemics. It's one of those books that will inspire you to think outside of the box.

The author makes you the ...

Two chapters from The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two. Charles Ortleb, the pioneering publisher who devoted a newspaper to coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, analyzes the battle to control the scientific narrative that made Anthony Fauci one of the most powerful scientists in the universe and destroyed the career of Peter Duesberg. While Charles Ortleb concludes that they were both wrong about the nature of the AIDS epidemic, he argues that Duesberg inadvertently helped open the world's eyes to the relationship between HHV-6, AIDS, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
