This is an excellent book that exposes drug companies for what they are: profit driven corporations with little or no regard for people's health. The book goes on to discuss the so-called war on drugs (the never-ending war justifying the imprisonment of nonviolent individuals in the name of public safety and health). Again, this is an excellent book and it should be read by anyone who has concerns about national health care in its current state.

This is an important book for all people who care about drug policy as it relates to criminal justice, the pharmaceutical industry and the practice of medicine - which should be all of us.

Everyone will have to or has had to take a prescription drug at one time or another in their lives. This books take readers behind the scenes for an in-depth look at what drives pharmaceutical companies, doctors and drug legislation as well as pointing out flaws in what many people regard as trusted medical research. This book is a real eye opener and a must read for everyone as it provides important information in protecting one's own health as well as the health of their loved ones. It is also the only textbook I have read in the last four years cover to cover and I think that says a lot.

Well-written, inportant book which affects all Americans is the way that I would describe Fred Leavitt's THE REAL DRUG ABUSERS. Dr. Leavitt offers excellent examples of the way that drug companies manipulate both doctors and patients.
