Books like this could save your life and the lives of your loved ones, and can certainly help to avoid much unnecessary pain and damage. There's valuable information here, from an excellent investigative journalist.
Everyone should know about this book, as well as similarly worthwhile books like The Truth about the Drug Companies, Dirty Medicine, Racketeering In Medicine, The Great Cholesterol Con, Heart Frauds, How to Protect Your Heart from Your Doctor, Confessions of a Medical Heretic (amusingly written, by a medical doctor, as well as scandalous), The Medical Mafia (also by a medic, similar theme as Confessions and passionately but badly written), Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth, The Cancer Industry, Cancer is Not a Disease, Why We will Never Win the War on AIDS and the many books against vaccination, the biggest scam that is maiming and killing the coming generations.
 Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel Exposed August 25, 2008
Selling Sickness is a striking and bare-knuckled expose' about how the multibillion dollar Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (PDC) exercises arbitrary and Fifth Column influence over the FDA, the NIMH and premiere medical and psychiatric journals and organizations, while shaping the perceptions of the lemming masses.
Promoters and agents of the multibillion dollar advertising industry hold the rank of Joseph Goebbels in the PDC, using funding for fifth column advertising, research projects and "education" grants to control journals, public agencies and artificial "grassroots" movements, (i.e. "Astroturf.")
While this phenomena demonstrates that corporate and stockholder interests are not always in the best public interest, it also begs a larger question:
Can the masses be drugged (as opposed to crushed by military force) into surrendering independent liberty to the Brave New World of a Marxist/Von Mises hybrid similar to that of China?

HEALTHY, WELL PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE DOCTORS RICH. THEY DO NOT MAKE DRUG COMPANY "CEO'S" OR "INVESTORS"
RICH EITHER.
GOING TO SEE A DIETITIAN EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT "OUT OF POCKET" WOULD BE MONEY WELL SPENT. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOUR DOCTOR "PRESCRIBED" A DIET?? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE EVEN TALKED ABOUT DIET?? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE EXAMINED YOU??
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GAVE ANY THOUGHT TO WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH?? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT LIGHT TO MODERATE EXERCISE??
LASTLY, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT REALLY GOOD?? GET THE BOOK AND READ IT. GET MORE BOOKS LIKE IT AND READ THEM. YOU MIGHT BE A BETTER "DOCTOR" THAN THE ONE YOU ARE SEEING NOW...

A must-read for everyone who is on prescription medications or has a loved one on meds. Especially, if you think the FDA protects consumers.

This is an excellent and well written book. If you want to be informed, I suggest you read it. I won't bother restating what others have said. I also notice that physicians here rating the book don't like it as much. I wonder why?
