Healing without Freud or Prozac | | This is probably the best book I've read on the topic of depression. This is a thoughtful, well-researched down to earth, commonsense approach to what you can do to recognise and then treat the symptoms of depression. |
What Your Doctor Doesn't Know about Nutrition | | This is another of my best buys in the last 12 months. It will really get you focused on the supplements you need to take to make up for what's missing in your food. Gives the junk medical professionl a right-royal bagging for prescribing pills which mask the symptoms of body system dysfunctions, instead of giving the body the nutrition it needs to stimulate the body's recuperative powers. |  What Your Doctor Doesn't Know about Nutritional Medicine May be Killing You by Ray Strand
When Dr. Ray Strand found himself in a losing battle, unable to successfully treat his wife who had suffered chronically with pain and fatigue, he agreed to try the regimen of nutritional supplements that a neighbor suggested. Much to his surprise, his wife's condition began to improve almost immediately. That amazing turn of events led him to dedicate himself to researching alternative therapies in medicine, particularly in the arena of nutritional supplements. Dr. Strand's illumination of the body's silent enemy-oxidative stress-will astound you. But, more importantly, his research will equip you to protect or reclaim your nutritional health, possibly reversing disease and preventing illness.

Overdosed America | | If you want to know what swifties the junk medical and pharmaceutical industries are pulling on you and your country, you must read this book. John Abrahamson, a doctor himself, working out of Harvard, (America's most renowned sheltered workshop for the academically gifted) has written a well- researched, hard-nosed, no-punches-pulled look at how pharmaceutical companies have perverted the course of good health treatment in the last couple of decades of the 20th century. Thank God we're now seeing a flood of books and articles exposing junk medicine for what it is, a dreadful, costly, iatrogenic fraud. Read this book and then join the increasing number of people who are choosing to keep themselves fit and healthy rather than dosing themselves up on junk pharmaceuticals. |  Overdosed America by John Abramson
Using the examples of Vioxx, Celebrex, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, and anti-depressants, Overdo$ed America shows that at the heart of the current crisis in American medicine lies the commercialization of medical knowledge itself. Drawing on his background in statistics, epidemiology, and health policy, John Abramson, M.D., an award-winning family doctor on the clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School, reveals the ways in which the drug companies have misrepresented statistical evidence, misled doctors, and compromised our health. The good news is that the best scientific evidence shows that reclaiming responsibility for your own health is often far more effective than taking the latest blockbuster drug. You -- and your doctor -- will be stunned by this unflinching expose of American medicine.
