A powerful attack on the status quo. You didn’t pull any punches. I think the drug companies might put out a hit on you. The anecdotes and references provide an extra layering of depth to the conclusions. America’s health care system does three things very well: make money, make money, and make money. And if along the way some patients get better….well bravo! –Mike Steele, RN, retired from a Veterans Administration hospital
Butchered by “Healthcare”:
What to Do About Doctors, Big Pharma, and Corrupt Government
Ruining Your Health and Medical Care
HOW YOU CAN SURVIVE “HEALTHCARE,” THE LARGEST AND MOST CORRUPT INDUSTRY IN AMERICA.
* Learn what works. * See through the lies. * Handle hospitals. * Find trustworthy doctors. * Master your drugs and quit them with confidence. * Consider holistic medicine.
Healthcare is the top cause of all our overdue debts and personal bankruptcy. Our medical spending per person is double that of other countries’, but fully half the treatments are ineffective or harmful. Immense, predatory industries such as angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery victimize us. These procedures cause complications and deaths, but few patients survive even a day longer. Most back and endoscopic knee surgeries are equally worthless.
Seventy percent of us are on prescriptions, and 20 percent take over five. One in six uses psychiatric medicine, which commonly causes irreversible brain damage and premature death. Millions are now addicted to prescription opioids. Fifty-thousand people die each year from overdoses.
The FDA allows big Pharma to falsify the studies required to patent drugs. These corporations hire armies of ghostwriters to stuff websites and medical journal articles with marketing lies. Finding the truth is now nearly impossible. But all this gets overlooked as the companies pay billions of dollars in criminal settlements nearly every year.
Money short-circuits everyone’s integrity, but there is an alternative. Patients and doctors can still prevail. Learn the system, and you can too.
Think our health care system could be corrupt? Do you think the current health care system is about making you healthy? Listen to Dr. Robert Yoho, M.D. discuss his book: Butchered by Healthcare. What to Do About Doctors, Big Pharma, and Corrupt Government Ruining Your Health and Medical Care.
