Great Information About The Corruptness of Drug Companies and The FDA and Other Government and State

A very informative and eye-opening book on how the powerful drug companies use their power to influence and control our government, governmental agencies, and state agencies as well. Very well documented accounts of the skewing and deceit of information, and the malicious attacks created against anyone that tries to expose this.

A vociferous and articulate warning

Racketeering In Medicine: The Suppression Of Alternatives by physician and health issues consultant James P. Carter is a sharply worded expose of just how the financial bottom line is warping and skewing the manner in which medical treatments are researched, tested, and approved. A vociferous and articulate warning against the undue influence of pharmaceutical companies, and the suppression of the benefits of less costly alternative treatments, Racketeering In Medicine is a stimulating account of a very real problem present in American health care today and should be mandatory reading for health care activists, health care policy makers, and health care providers.

Racketeering in Medicine The Suppression of Alternatives

I found this book to be a most informative read. To those that think there is no conspiracy to halt or suppress alternative treatments , I have experienced this first hand as a german doctor in the US to further his education has had his visa revoked because he has used alternatives taught in his country and in many surrounding countries , yet his wife is allowed to stay until her education is paid for. This man donated time to a free clinic and is highly respected in our town.He has helped many people with herbal and alternative treatments including EDTA Chelation , but in peer revue was chastized by local doctors who were losing patients.BUY this book and find out for yourself....take your own health in your own hands....DON'T blindly follow orthodox medicine.......RSN

Excellent Information!

I have been reading various books on alternaitve medicine for years, and this one sticks out as one of the top five in my library about how the AMA, FDA and pharmaceutical industry has for years tried to discredit alternative,less expensive, less invasive and often times more effective modalities of treatment.James Carter does not just sensationalize but documents quite clearly the evidence behind his assertion. He clearly shows that the governing bodies of modern general or "accepted" medicine have a vested interest in supressing these treatments and making sure that most average folks never know about them. This book is well worth reading as it offers ways to empower the reader to find out more and to participate in the decision process concerning their own healthcare.

A must read for anyone about the "big business" of Medicine

An excellent book, shows how alternative therapies are suppressed and how only drugs and surgeries are allowed to receive approval. It is a wake-up call for those people that need a reminder of the imperfect nature of man and how money/power can overwhelm a doctor's true desire to help the general population's health.
