- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2011An essential and exciting read from the country's most experienced attorney in defending effective alternative medical treatments. Read about his real life heroic victories in trying to give all Americans the right to choose their own medical treatments, rather than have the medical industrial complex force unwanted and ineffective treatments on all patients.
Read the chapter: 'The Burzynski Wars' (get 'Burzynski The Movie' Burzynski, the Movieand the book 'The Burzynski Breakthrough'The Burzynski Breakthrough: The Most Promising Cancer Treatment and the Government's Campaign to Squelch It, which are perhaps the most important film and book on one of the most effective alternative cancer treatments today!).
The uninformed often state " if such and such alternative treatment for disease X actually worked, then I'm sure it would be made available". Wrong! Read this book and find out why! Find out how far various medical organizations have gone to suppress the rise of alternative medicine and medical procedures which in many cases have resulted in miraculous cures of diseases like cancer.
If you want to get some idea of the future of medical treatments for cancer, just as one example, go to google scholar and research "Novocure" and their frequency-specific electric fields that are used to destroy cancer cells. This is a billion dollar multinational company that is snapping up patents around the globe for the use of frequency-specific electric fields to kill cancer cells (no chemo or radiation needed!). Their device recently passed FDA Phase 3 trials and they have now established several clinics in the USA for the treatment of brain cancer with frequency-specific 'specially tuned' electric fields!
The current medical industrial complex is aware that people are sick and tired of 'standard of care' therapy that is not effective, except for killing the patient and extracting as much money from them as possible in the process. READ THIS BOOK and see how hard the established medicals are fighting to protect their turf..... every kind of dirty trick in the book! They don't care about making you well... they care about protecting their jobs and their incomes, even when they know their treatments are ineffective. If you get caught in the contemporary 'medical meat machine', it will grind you up. Wake up and read about the alternatives that might save your life while also preserving some quality of life at the same time.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2012The attacks on this MD, PhD and thought leader with solid outcomes year after year and decade after decade, shows yet again, that the USA is no longer a real medical thought leader. We are the world's top jailer, and the attempts by every level of government run by medically primitive lawyers and cognitively constipated "scientists" to castrate him or even jail him, per one former Romanian resident was called worse than the past Romanian communist dictator.
So many of us love the USA, and some of us have relatives with blood spilled for this country. But freedom drips away and is dripping away without the smart watching of smart people. Freedom is lost without each generation fighting.
The experience of this superior peerless cancer cure MD shows the Medical Board was fascist and inept. The FDA could teach the mob lessons, and that the government was acting simply, evil, with threats of over 20 years in prison.
It does not matter what political party you like, it matters if freedom is going to be present in coming decades.
GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEDICAL PROFESSIONS AND THE PATIENT RELATIONSHIP. IT IS SACRED.
CLEARLY NEW USA MEDICAL THINKING AND CURES IS FUSED TOO OFTEN AND ONLY WITH CORPORATE DARK POWER, UNMERITED MONEY, PATENT SCAMS, AND OLD ANAL FETAL THINKING. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD IN TEXAS, THE FDA, GOVERNMENT CANCER AGENCIES AND THESE IN HARMONY DESTROY FUTURE MEDICINE. HE SAVED LIFE AFTER LIFE AND THESE ACTED LIKE A CULT--LIKE A MANSON CULT USING CORRUPT LAW INSTEAD OF A KNIFE.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2009It was amazing to me how far astray the government will go to absolutely destroy those who are doing no harm in the alternative health industry.Wait till you read how your tax dollars are spent. The author also shines a light on the process of getting alternative methods of treatment to the public. It seems that one must be fabulously wealthy and well connected with the FDA. I learned alot about the seeming vendictiveness of the government against Doctors who are truely working for the public good and must risk all to do it. The cases presented are truly profiles in courage. It shows that the system for those exploring alternative treatments is in serious need of re-thinking. One can't help but hypothecize that big pharma is behind the ruthlessness of the pursuit to get these treatments out of public access. Very good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012I love health subject books and have a large library of them. I bought this book since I had read extensively about Dr. Burzinsky and his amazing treatment of cancer patients and his battle with the FDA, and I wanted to expand my knowledge of the subject. This book was written by one of Burzinsky's lawyers and contains this and other legal cases. It is written purely from a legal point of view, with barely any health information at all. So if you are interested in the health aspects stick to Suzanne Somer's excellent books. If on the other hand you like the details of legal cases, then this is the book for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014Jaffe's book is a great read. His writing style is witty and engaging. Sadly, he candidly reveals the shady behavior going on in government in attempts to silence gifted doctors and researchers and to take away our freedom to choose our own healthcare. As the title suggests, this isn't the first time in history that discoveries and discoverers have been attacked and ostracized. I'm grateful to discover that there are a few lawyers out there who are willing to take on the government in defense of liberty.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2018I like the combination of law and medicine in analyzing these cases. The importance is in the details and the behind the scenes observations
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2015Fun read.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013This should be a must read for anyone interested in the direction of our health care system. I found the book to be a real eye opener. I have referred back to this book many times since I purchased it.
