5.0 out of 5 stars Tip of the iceberg
This book reveals the seedy underbelly of collusion and greed prevalent in the corporate world in general. The main message is "Profit Over People"!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sounds good, looks good, but doesn't deliver
Dr. Lanctot starts off with a general overview of...exactly what? I'm not sure. Several times, she states that the power of healing is "divine" and is within ourselves. Thanks, but, no, if I break my arm, I'll go to an orthopedic surgeon. At one point in the book, she states that rabies is an illusion. ! When she does finally get to the pharmaceutical -...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Doctor Lost Her Medical License for Writing this Book!!, February 19, 2005
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
+++++

This stunning, easy-to-read book, by French-Canadian medical doctor, entrepreneur, and mother Dr. Guylaine Lanctot (pronounced "Ghee-Lane Lank-Toe") answers many questions such as:

(1) Why are certain illnesses untreatable?
(2) Why do some people always become ill and others never?
(3) Why do some people die from an illness and others recover?
(4) Why do medical costs continue to skyrocket? Who profits from this?
(5) Why are some doctors or therapists barred from practicing and others not?
(6) Why is treatment remunerated and not prevention?
(7) Why are people still dying of cancer after fifty years of intensive research at astronomical cost?
(8) Why is the public not properly informed about alternative medicines?
(9) Why is everyone so unhappy with the existing medical and hospital system?
(10) Why are there so many medical organizations and government medical agencies? Whose interest are they protecting?

The main chapters of this book answer not only these questions, but other questions as well. These chapters are divided into four parts:

(1) The Problem. (5 chapters.)

In a nutshell, the author tells us we have "a medicine of sickness." She goes on to say that "[t]his is true for the United States, as it is for Canada, France, or, for that matter, for all countries whatever their health system may be."

(2) The Solution (to the problem). (7 chapters.)

Here, the obvious answer is "a medicine of health." The author tells us that this solution "treats the cause of illnesses and prevents them from occurring." However, this obvious solution is prevented due to ...

(3) The Obstacle. (8 chapters.)

What exactly is the obstacle? It is "the medical mafia." The author explains: "Officially, we are told that the system is at the service of the patient. But, in practice, the system is at the service of...industry [that] pulls the strings and maintains a system [or a medicine] of sickness for its own profit. That is the MEDICAL MAFIA."

(4) The Realization (of what should be done). (10 chapters.)

The author calls this "self-health." She explains: "The only one who has the ultimate power to change the system is the patient, the very reason for being of the system. The patients will take back their power over health and exercise their sovereignty. The doctors recognize the sovereignty of the patients and help them to exercise it. That is self-health."

Each part ends with a very brief conclusion. I found these insightful.

Eyebrow-raising chapters are found in Part 3. These chapters have their own overall subtitle: "The Trilogy of Lies." They deal with vaccinations, aids, and cancer respectively.

This book is packed with diagrams, pictures, summary charts, book titles, and quotations from others. One of my favorite quotes: "To vaccinate is to replace the natural immunity with an artificial immunity."

The final summary chart of this book includes the following:

"The patient is at the service of the system of sickness.

[Patients] are exploited by:

(1) doctors
(2) health service providers
(3) pharmaceutical and technological industries.

[These three] make people sick and keep them dependent."

Some people may have trouble with the first chapter (or so). This is because it is somewhat abstract. However, keep on reading. The information that follows is very interesting and becomes more concrete.

This book has no index. It does not need one because the table of contents is so comprehensive.

This book is NOT a doctor-bashing book and does not say not to see your doctor. It, instead, looks at the entire system or machine of orthodox medicine and even society in general. Doctors, to the author, are essentially a cog in the medical machine. To learn more about orthodox doctors, I suggest the excellent book "Confessions of a Medical Heretic" by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn.

The only problem with the book is that I noticed that the author uses specific numbers and statistics that are not noted or footnoted. You have to give proper credit to the sources of this information. However, this book is extensively referenced.

Finally, Dr. Lanctot was stripped of her medical license and not allowed to practice medicine for life once this book was published. (So much for free speech.) You have to read this book to see what the medical authorities/profiteers don't want you to read!!

In conclusion, if you're satisfied with the orthodox medical system, then there is no need to read this book. But if you're not satisfied, then read this book and prepare to be stunned!!

(first published 1995; prologue; 4 parts or 30 chapters; epilogue; main narrative of 240 pages; references)

**** 1/2

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa, an eye opener, June 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
They tried to kick the author of this book out of the medical community in quebec for writing this book. Here's everything the goverment and pharmautiacal companies don't want you to know. A must if your plan on subjecting your children to the horrors of vaccinations. Try the library, they probably have it. Be prepared to be stunned.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most informative book on how "the system" really works., August 28, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
Recommended reading for anyone who is fed up with government, health care, and authorities. Common sense but thoroughly researched topic, this author really knows her stuff. Excellent bibliography with a wealth of other reading I didn't even know existed. It's no wonder this book is out of print, it's the truth and the authorities know it and won't relinquish their power. Alternative health is the answer and it is up to us, as individuals, to take back our health

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much More, June 11, 2003
By 
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
This book is about so much more than the corruption among medicine, pharmaceuticals, government and "Health" Organizations like the WHO.

It about regaining our health, our soveriegn right as individuals, our freedom, self respect and love for our fellow man.

While the current and corrupt "Medical Mafia" poison, maim and kill millions no one is happy with it; patients or doctors, except those who profit from it; the "industry" which involves expensive testing, toxic drugs and sweeping global population control policies.

Ms Lanctot offers a solution and the good news is that it is in OUR hands. It involves claiming our right to make our own decisions about our health and that of our children and recognizing that same right in others, along with easy to follow suggestions about how to seek a responsible client/consultant relationship with a medical care practitioner.

Something fascinating, and I truly hope you read the book! Louis Pasteur "gave" the world our current concept of bacteria and viruses which lead to transmission of disease. Yet another unaclaimed scientist of the same time period as Mr Pasteur studied another possibility; that it is the disease which causes the virus or bacteria.

It may be hard at first to contemplate that what we have been told all our lives may be wrong and the disease-causes-germs paradigm should not be accepted as fact without intensive study into this possibility.

Sadly the current drug and profit based research debilitates that possibility. And scientist and doctors who try to adopt an approach which threatens the current situation often end up suffering persecution from the "mafia"; forms which range from public ridicule, loss of research funding, suspension of medical licencing(just ask Ms Lanctot)and many more.

Gaston Naessens has done further work on this theory; work on somatidian theory. A somatid is the smallest particle of living matter, precursor of DNA....a web search on any engine would verify this.

Ms Lanctot says that our greatest illness is that of submission, fueled by fear and our fascination with security and protection which are only fantasies at best.

All in all,this was a fascinating and inspiring book. The best I have read in many years......sharon

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the tip of the iceberg, August 29, 2002
By 
"rainbow-bird" (Lake St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
For we who have been reduced to numbers [myself 296.6] by the medical profession, this is a must read. Doctor penetrates the 'agreement reality' we have created with doctors, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies.

Before opening the book, I knew she probably lost her license to practice and that huge efforts to keep the book unavailable were made [look at Amazon's price and the availability]. One reviewer, skeptical when Doctor introduces spirituality, misses the boat. We need a new healthy paradigm - I stay a victim as long as I turn responsibility over to another [human being, institute or debilitating structure].

All health I have experienced comes with me not buying into the prevalent pathology paradigm - I try to see myself in battle with a 'good enemy' - one that I strive against and bring back gifts of light for my fellow human beings.

Great read - watch how this book will soon be hard to find.

One friend told me, 'There is nothing so powerful as an idea that has found its time.'

That time is now.

Blessings and light to all like the good doctor who stand in truth and impeccability of word. DAJB

5.0 out of 5 stars light years ahead of the learning curve, June 19, 2002
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
Its a shocking title, isnt it? Medical Mafia? However, the author is right. She claims that we are all part of the infinite and that in essence we are all perfectly healthy. Her argument is that disease first shows up in the soul and from there is transferred to the physical body. This is not a new theory. In a book called Pranic healing by sui, he states pretty much the same thing. She claims that by using energy healing such as metaphysical healing, reflexology, polarity healing etc. the disease can be cured in the soul and health restored to the physical body. Simple logic and very true. The other parts of the book deal with the medical mafia. These are the business people who make a killing off the misery and suffering of others. The profit motive MUST be taken out of medicine. In countries where socialized medicine is installed over 50% of doctors and medical technicians etc. quit! If that doesnt tell you something about the profit motive, nothing will. This book was very disturbing to me because I was led to believe that medicine had the purest of motives. Wrong. She has some very frightening information in this book about medical conspiracies and evidence to back it up. I am not saying that all medicine is corrupt, but sky high medical bills, medicines and insurance costs point to something very wrong. Nor am I saying that you should quit your doctor. Better safe than sorry. I do believe though that you should compliment your doctors treatments with energy healing treatments. These treatments if used prudently and persistantly are effective. I hope everyone whether healthy or not reads this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby Vaccine Schedule - CRIMINAL, November 12, 2009
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. I'm a Clinical Nurse Specialist who has worked in health "care" for over 30 years. The system is broken and ruled by pharmaceutical greed. Did you know that babies in the U.S. are given 25 vaccine shots before the age of 15 months? (documented on the American Peds Society website). Use your common sense. This cannot possibly be good for a developing immune system. What it DOES is mess up the natural immunity so that a child is MORE likely to become sick in later life. Then the drug companies present all their horrible pills as a way to "get better." It's a farce. Do not let it continue. See the eye opening DVD entitled "Money Talks - Profits Before Patient Safety." It's superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars should be required reading for all human beings, February 11, 2007
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
Obviously, anyone arguing with the gravity and truth presented in this book are industry plants-either that or incredibly ignorant. There is NO WAY anyone can read this book and not be forever changed. Coming from an allopathic medical background myself, and now practicing holistic healing methods for the past 13 years, I can say that this book is indispensible reading for any person who wishes to live a sovereign life, not to mention healthy one. So, so important to get this word out....Thanks, Guerlaine...

5.0 out of 5 stars What many doctors know, and will speak about only behind closed doors., March 31, 2009
This review is from: Medical Mafia (Paperback)
This is an excellent book, with numerous cross references, and invaluable for anyone who values their life and that of others. Get the dvd documentary "The Beautiful Truth", it can be seen in its entirety on Netflix and various clips and trailers on Youtube. If there are other documentaries out there, please respond to this review with the title, and where it can be viewed on the net and/or purchased. Thank you.
