5.0 out of 5 stars Talk About An Eye Opener !, July 2, 2006

This review is from: Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Paperback)

Yes, there is no doubt in my mind. Every person in the Western world ought to have this book.
After reading the first few pages of it, I found that I could not put it down, other pressing duties notwithstanding.The author presents item after item, taken from the cobwebs of history and he opened the eyes of this observer who mistakenly had thought that nothing more could shock him. Some of the facts were complete news to me and I appreciate how the author succeeds in filling in the gaps, thus making the puzzle much more complete. For those who have not completed their metamorphosis into cynics, this is an opportunity. This well organised account of where we stand today, how we are being betrayed by our "leaders" and "guardians", how it is, after all, only money that rules, needs to be read not once but a few times, the shocking truth needs repeating if we are to believe it.
Even if you are not into history, this book will surprise you with facts that literally beg for more of your time, it reads more like a detective story than a documentary of modern man's shortcomings. And it is written for professional and layman alike, in a conversational tone that further emphasizes the serious message it conveys.
How lucky for the reader that the author is a born storyteller!

I have gone to the trouble of checking on the more preposterous sounding claims the author makes and found that he is not pulling anyone's leg, much as this would calm our budding indignation.

However, there are a couple of errors that need pointing out. One is a matter of my personal belief about the cholesterol story (he does not go far enough) we can agree to disagree on that.
The other is a matter of sloppy research and reporting.
Prince William IX of Hesse-Hanau, located in Bavaria.
The Germans never had a William, the Prince was a Landgrave and his name was Wilhelm, not William and Bavaria is located a fair distance from Hesse.

Other than that, it is an impressive work, it points out once again that governments have no social conscience and that they are not above working in cahoots with Big Business to the detriment of the people.

Whether the reader will still believe, after reading this book, that man is inherently good, is doubtful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book!, November 6, 2006

By 

Ann Rand "readingfrenzy" (Southern Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Paperback)

If you ever had any doubts about taking charge of your own health--this book will confirm that it is a must do! Chock full of information regarding prescription medicine, this book lets you know how you are probably being poisoned and how your physician is allowing it. There are three very important chapters regarding "statin" drugs (cholesterol-lowering) that you shouldn't miss. It is shocking what the FDA is allowing. While some of the pages can be skimmed over because they are so factual, most of it holds your attention because of the scare factor! The very first page grabbed me--the FDA is now funded by the drug companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you take vitamins?! Read this book., October 31, 2006

By 

True Health "True Health" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Paperback)

Of course this book will have opposition -- it is standing up against the pharmaceutical companies, medical professionals, and investors who profit from keeping people sick and on drugs. But if society ignores this information or believes that it is merely conspiracy, they will be the ones to lose. Health choices are a freedom that Americans currently enjoy. However, scientific research backing effective nutritional options as well as other alternative health options is being heavily suppressed. "Fight for Your Health" explains why. The information in this book is backed by solid sources, much of it from the FDA itself. This is a MUST READ for anyone who cares about their health options as well as the health of generations to come. We must be informed, educated consumers -- that is the only way to make a difference.
