   Viktigt avslöjande!

   Peter C Gotsche vågar avslöja det som många läkare och pålästa patienter känner till men inte talar öppet om, läkemedelsindustrins makt och missbruk av människans godtrogenhet och önskan om en bra hälsa. Jag är mycket tacksam över att Gotsche givit oss dessa fakta och hoppas att en politiker med intelligens tar denna kunskap vidare och stoppar de massutskrivningar av droger till bland annat våra barn!

   Denna bok borde alla läsa. Av en anledning särskilt: För att vi alla åldras. det kan vi inte undvika. Vi blir alltför ofta sjuka när vi åldras, och då blir vi också alltför ofta "pillerknaprare". Medicin blir till slut för många det enda man tänker på, man blir medicinberoende. Men är det ett måste? Nej, det är det inte. Vi är utsatta för en verklig komplott som bara har som syfte att göra medicintillverkare rika. Hela vårt samhälle är i händerna på detta skumma anhang, och det är vi vanliga människor som (som vanligt) får avstå från våra slantar för att betala de jättevinster medicinindustrin har. Vi betalar både som skatt och som för vår förbrukning av mediciner. Det är skrämmande läsning, men otroligt intressant.
