    Don't fill another prescription until you have read this
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2017*

I wish this book had a more obvious name because the message is critical: big farm and big pharma are lying, and people are getting sick and dying, including our veterans.  Her chapter  "A Side Effect from Which there is no Recovery" hit home. I was prescribed Lyrica (pregabalin), and four years later Neurontin (gapapentin), for pain, without knowing that both drugs already had shown increased suicidal ideation in the initial studies and could damage memory and other cognitive function. These "adverse events" had been downplayed, and it has since come to light that they are not as effective at relieving pain as the promotional materials and bogus research planted in medical journals claimed. Instead, they can launch a patient into "psychological freefall," as happened in one of the cases she reports of a doctor who killed himself. The manufacturer's deceptive and aggressive marketing campaign resulted in one of the largest settlements in history against a drug company for fraud and racketeering, but the disinformation has not been retracted. If doctors can't tell the difference, what chance do patients have?  I survived both suicide attempts, but not without great physical, financial, and emotional damage to myself and my family. Doctors have been courted and pushed to use medications "off label" to get around FDA standards, which are already too lax.  I will never take a prescription drug, or allow a family member to do so, without researching the studies myself and any litigation history.

    Martha doesn’t do this for money.
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017*

Disclosure: I know the author.Few commentators understand what is going on between medical care, pharma, and the FDA. Martha is one, and as a bonus she explains the big food corporations too. Between the three, it is s sad, corrupt scene, far worse than the press realizes. The doctors are completely clueless with a few exceptions. Martha did a years research for this book, and still writes 4 blogs a week. You need this information to manage your own approach to your health, and understanding these interactions is necessary to get the story.Also recommended are books by Peter Gotzsche, David Healy and Nortin Hadler. There are others.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Changing your diet can save your life.
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020*
