Exploding the Medical Myth and Embracing the Sources of True Healing by John Robbins
Great book. Fabulous writer.
This book is really about the relationship between the American medical establishment and Americans. We’ve grown up trusting doctors, the FDA, AMA, and other agencies to help us stay healthy and fight disease. Robbins writes about the betrayal by these agencies. Three-fifths of the book is about women’s health including pregnancy, osteoporosis, menopause, and x-rays. He also writes about children and Ritalin, the AMA against chiropractors and midwives, its close relationship with the tobacco industry, and its persecution of “heretics,” such as health practitioners offering cancer cures. Included are our backward attempts to control bacteria and viruses, which are actually helping them to grow stronger and flourish.

Knowledge is power and in this book you will learn many things that hopefully will push you to make better, more responsible health choices. He also includes a wonderful resource guide in the back. This was the first book of his I read. Not only is the book incredibly well researched, but his subtle wit–impeccably delivered–is refreshing. He’s a fabulous writer!
