The United States health care system is killing Americans at an alarming rate, even though we spend over fifteen percent of the Gross National Product (GNP) on health care. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, our health care outcomes ranked only fifteenth among twenty-five industrialized nations worldwide. Adverse effects from prescription drugs have become the third-leading killer of Americans. Only heart disease and cancer claim more lives. We trust our doctors to inform us and our government to protect us from medical malfeasance that may put profits ahead of consumer health and safety. But the fine line walked by the FDA between the interests of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the American public has continually been crossed. The result is the unleashing of an unprecedented number of lethal drugs on the U.S. market!

Gwen Olsen learned firsthand the danger that lurks in every Americans medicine cabinet, working in the pharmaceutical industry. But her most poignant education would come as a victim and, ultimately, as a survivor.

Rigorously researched and documented, Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher: Gods Call to Loving Arms is a moving, human drama that illustrates the catastrophic consequences of a health care system run amuck!

I have been an independent health scientist for almost 50 years, and I can tell you this lady's story is important. You are not allowed to know or especially to spread real health information in America because the government is integrated with the medical drug dealers and their allies and the chemical food producers, all of which cooperate to keep so-called "health care" the multi-trillion dollar industry that it is (and is about to become a lot worse under "Obamacare"). The medical system is now the number one cause of death in America, and you are meant to believe that the out of control disease and hellish "aging" process are normal. The fact that we would believe any of this for a minute is a tribute to the effectiveness of their campaign of misinformation. All these diseases are preventable and curable and most signs of "aging" are reversible. This is forbidden knowledge in America and many other places now. Take responsibility and learn the real health information for yourself. It's worth the effort. This book is one small insight into what the current system does, but there is much more. Real health protocols have been known for many thousands of years (see for example http://www.essene.com/GospelOfPeace/peace1.html). The old explanations like this one need only minor adaptation to our current world to be incredibly effective. Please do your research and berst wishes to you for your health and finding what you want.

The "cure" may be worse than the "disease!

Confessions of an RX Drug Pusher: God's Call to Loving Arms contains an abundance of information. The author speaks from first hand experience. She knows ... and tells ...what goes on at Big Pharma's meetings. Anyone who has been prescribed anti-psychotics, anyone whose child has been "diagnosed" with a condition that might lead to their being prescribed those drugs, would do well to read this book carefully. It's pretty deep stuff, but well worth the effort. "It's all about the money!" has never been truer than it is in the pharmaceutical industry. Others have written exposes of other branches: antibiotics, chemotherapies, NSAIDS, etc. This is the first that I've read that centered around these mind-altering nightmares. I highly recommend this to anyone who has trusted ... or who might be tempted to trust ... drug-pushing doctors, or allow their child to be labeled and "treated" with these meds. BEWARE!!!

excellent research and exposition on the drug industry and its cut-throat drug pushing of psychotropic drugs on America's youth. My son committed suicide also while on antipsychotic drugs.

GREAT BOOK!

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2012

I absolutely love this book. After negative experiences getting off psych drugs, it was extremely refreshing to finally have some one in the medical profession speak the truth. I am extremely grateful for people such as Glen Olsen, Peter Breggin (I highly suggest reading some of his books, looking into his research as well) and others.

At first I was angry that it took Mrs. Olsen fifteen years to realize she was participating in harming people. However, this was quickly forgotten. She writes with extreme honesty, and I like how she incorporates her life into this book.

Reading this book makes me furious at drug reps and pharmaceutical companies. The subject is not new, but has more credibility in my mind, given that it is written by a former drug rep.

A presentation that tries to include too many areas

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2007

Verified Purchase

Although the author of this book has tried to expose the corruption and malice of the drug industry, I have the feeling she is like a member of

AA who is trying to accomplish the twelve steps by correcting all her mistakes to clear her conscience.

The presentation certainly airs the training of drug reps. and how for power and dollars, they are duped into thinking they are serving physicians and patients.

The author gets into medical explanations regarding the drugs, a field

in which she is not trained and a field of expertise that she should leave to professionals.

The end of the book deals with her spiritual discovery and that is admirable, but I question whether it is properly placed in a book that has tried to courageously stepped forward to inform the public about the corruption of the drug industry and those who support it.
