Much of what you will read in this book will surprise you, because it refutes the propaganda the so-called experts have been spewing for decades. The food industry and the drug manufacturers have been unconscionable in their zeal to earn billions of pounds, aided and abetted by those scientists who have been well paid to fudge, and even falsify, test results. The biochemists, physicians and scientists quoted in this book are not in the employ of multinational corporations. They are dedicated men and women whose conclusions are based upon sound science, not upon the propaganda and the coercive power of the pharmaceutical industry. Their opinions rarely find their way into the establishment media which are, like much of the world, under multi-national domination. minerals build bone mass; Prevent/reverse osteoporosis; substitute safe remedies for dangerous HRT; avoid food and beverages that cause bones to dissolve; avoid/reverse all female (and male) complaints without drugs; prevent/reverse impotence and prostate illnesses; use simple, natural remedies for many common ailments; discover the only progesterone that is effective, does not contain preservatives, and costs a few cents per day; banish constipation; rejuvenate your skin naturally; prevent breast cancer; sail through menopause, drug-free; avoid a commonly prescribed drug that creates severe spinal degeneration, even in the young; get a mineral that halts 40-50 per cent of calcium loss; and get a Peruvian root vegetable that has been used for 10,000 years to promote bone density and make menopause easy, and costs a few pence a day.

At last... A No-Holds-Barred book that exposes the lies the food industry and drug manufacturing giants have been telling us for years and what you can do to lead an improved and healthier life! TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH AND ESCAPE THE SICKNESS INDUSTRY reveals damning evidence of the lengths to which corporations and governments will go in order to maintain high levels of profitability, regardless of their often catastrophic effects on the health of those they claim to serve. But there is more to this book than attacks on big business and the medical and health industries. Throughout its pages you will discover well-researched and proven alternatives to expensive medication and surgical procedures, as well as learning about commonly held "beliefs" and even maladies which are nothing more than the inventions of marketing experts to help sell more products.

How We Do Harm exposes the underbelly of healthcare today—the overtreatment of the rich, the under treatment of the poor, the financial conflicts of interest that determine the care that physicians' provide, insurance companies that don't demand the best (or even the least expensive) care, and pharmaceutical companies concerned with selling drugs, regardless of whether they improve health or do harm. Dr. Otis Brawley is the chief medical and scientific officer of The American Cancer Society, an oncologist with a dazzling clinical, research, and policy career. How We Do Harm pulls back the curtain on how medicine is really practiced in America. Brawley tells of doctors who select treatment based on payment they will receive, rather than on demonstrated scientific results; hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that seek out patients to treat even if they are not actually ill (but as long as their insurance will pay); a public primed to swallow the latest pill, no matter the cost; and rising healthcare costs for unnecessary—and often unproven—treatments that we all pay for. Brawley calls for rational healthcare, healthcare drawn from results-based, scientifically justifiable treatments, and not just the peddling of hot new drugs. Brawley's personal history – from a childhood in the gang-ridden streets of black Detroit, to the green hallways of Grady Memorial Hospital, the largest public hospital in the U.S., to the boardrooms of The American Cancer Society—results in a passionate view of medicine and the politics of illness in America - and a deep understanding of healthcare today. How We Do Harm is his well-reasoned manifesto for change.

From one of the world's foremost physicians and researchers comes a monumental work that radically redefines conventional conceptions of health and illness to offer new methods for living a long, healthy life.

From the beginning of mankind, health and health issues have played a major role in life, but the issues and care have evolved enormously from the time when the first settlers set foot in America to the present. In The History and Evolution of Healthcare in America, author Thomas W. Loker provides a historical perspective on the state of healthcare and offers fresh views on changes to Obamacare. Insightful and thorough, The History and Evolution of Healthcare in America offers a look at - what healthcare was like at the birth of the nation; - how the practice of providing healthcare has changed for both caregivers and receivers; - why the process has become so corrupt and expensive; - what needs to happen to provide both choice and effective and efficient care for all; - where we need to most focus efforts to get the biggest change; - what is needed to get control over this out-of-control situation. Loker narrates a journey through the history of American healthcare-where we've been, how we arrived where we are today, and determine where we might need to go tomorrow. The history illustrates how parts of the problem have been solved in the past and helps us understand what might be necessary to solve our remaining problems in the future.
