After listening to Wallach's "Live doctors do lie tape" I was expecting huge insights in this book. As a long time alternative medicine advocate and long time member of the Life Extension Foundation the insights were not earth shattering but good basic principals and practices. The fourth edition was published in 2000 but there are some discrepancies between the book and Wallach's tape, e.g. the book recommends maintaining a cholesterol level of 180-200 mg/100ml blood whereas the tape 200-250 ? I was also surprised that tylenol was recommended for anything.Overall an excellent addition to one's medical library and I believe Dr. Wallach's message is definitely important-M.D.'s certainly are not "invincible gods" and the average American needs to become aware of the undue influence the drug industry has on standard medical practice in America.

I could Not put this book down, I understand so much about the human body now. Not to mention How Dr.'s Do things.
Great Humor too!
This is a Must if you don't want to be a lab mouse anymore.
Like in anything You need to use COMMON SENSE. This makes it easy. I read about Dr. Wallach only found one bad rap.

I listened to the tape so many times I lost count. I passed it around to everyone I know. I liked it so much I bought both books and more tapes. The book is even better than the tapes. You need to hear or read this information. It will save your life.
