5.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately True, November 5, 2007

This review is from: The Pandora Prescription (Hardcover)

Over the last eighteen months, I have read huge amounts of material to know that this book reveals the truth about the medical industry. I have read this material because my daughters suffer from cancer and I wanted to find out how to help them.

After reading the one star reviews, I had to express my feelings as the one star reviewers cast doubts about the truth as presented in this book on the subject of how certain government agencies and the medical industry work togrther to limit our freedom of choice in health care.

This being said, the book is an excellent read and its real value is that people who have a hard time reading research material because it's dry will be exhilarated by the fast paced drama that sucks you into not wanting to put the book down until you find out the next event affecting the characters. Read it - if you have doubts about the truth put before you - research on your own and you will no longer have those doubts

Really enjoyed this book. It was a quick page turner with a lot of anticipation and great build up. Very much like a Da Vinci Code type story with great non-fiction interwoven into a good conspiracy and action dynamic. Fun and thought provoking read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must Read', even if you trust our government, November 24, 2007

This review is from: The Pandora Prescription (Hardcover)

This is the most compelling book I've read in a long time - maybe ever - since it is supposed to be based on facts readily available with a little research. I don't doubt for a second that the underlying premise of the book is one (or several) of the most insidious, and true, cover-ups our government has ever foisted on the American public, and continues to this day in a variety of ways which we should be totally outraged about and demand policy changes. After reading this book, I researched a couple of points it brought out and the questions they posed: what is the medical/pharmaceutical industry buying as the largest Congressional lobby, and why does the FDA accept any money whatsoever from that same industry for 'fast track' approvals on new drugs?
