This is the book you need to read before you go to see your doctor.... and maybe you could encourage your doctor to read it, too? It begins by revealing how modern medicine has become distorted by the power of the pharmaceutical industry. We have become heavily dependent on prescription drugs, most with hidden side effects or undesirable long-term effects, including increased risk of death. Presenting a powerful case against many of the drugs we take today, the authors then explain which foods, food supplements and simple lifestyle changes work better than drugs, with none of the risks. They clearly demonstrate that our most common chronic health problems can be successfully tackled using nutrition-based approaches rather than prescription drugs. Brilliantly researched and authoritative, this book is based on solid scientific trials and illuminating case histories. It will revolutionise the way you think about your health and put you - not the drug companies - in charge.
