Beskrivning
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AFTER HEART DISEASE AND CANCER. In his latest ground-breaking book, Peter C Gotzsche exposes the pharmaceutical industries and their charade of fraudulent behaviour, both in research and marketing where the morally repugnant disregard for human lives is the norm. He convincingly draws close comparisons with the tobacco conglomerates, revealing the extraordinary truth behind efforts to confuse and distract the public and their politicians. The book addresses, in evidence-based detail, an extraordinary system failure caused by widespread crime, corruption, bribery and impotent drug regulation in need of radical reforms. "The main reason we take so many drugs is that drug companies don't sell drugs, they sell lies about drugs. This is what makes drugs so different from anything else in life...Virtually everything we know about drugs is what the companies have chosen to tell us and our doctors...the reason patients trust their medicine is that they extrapolate the trust they have in their doctors into the medicines they prescribe. The patients don't realise that, although their doctors may know a lot about diseases and human physiology and psychology, they know very, very little about drugs that hasn't been carefully concocted and dressed up by the drug industry...If you don't think the system is out of control, please email me and explain why drugs are the third leading cause of death...If such a hugely lethal epidemic had been caused by a new bacterium or a virus, or even one-hundredth of it, we would have done everything we could to get it under control."

    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.
