For over 10 years, while caring for more than 20,000 patients, Dr. Ken Berry has been researching the medical myths and outright lies told to patients by their doctors. From lies about the foods you should eat, to the medications you should take, you will be shocked at how little science backs up what your doctor has been telling you. Doctors often base advice they give you on no research at all. Prescription choices are frequently made based on a drug ad your doctor saw, or on tainted data given to him by a drug-rep from the drug company itself. Your doctor has been marketed to, sampled with, and threatened by big-food, big-pharma, and big-government for so long that his advice might actually be dangerous to your health. Now you have a resource for dissecting the lies from the truth. --
