5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book which is even more imperative to read after 20 years of its publication

I just finished reading this book on the plane back from the USA to London. I could not put it down and sacrificed my sleep to get through it.
This book only confirms what Eustace Mullins wrote years earlier in his epic book Murder by Injection: The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America.
The irony is that his experiences and those of many others at the hands of the medico-pharmaceutical junta is far far worse now than even what he contemplated in the late 80's. His aspirations that his exposé which he so eloquently expresses will bring about a change beneficial to society have had absolutely no results.
The suppression of alternatives on both sides of the Atlantic are at their worst. Patients continue to be duped and with the possibility that many politicians all over the world are firmly in the pockets of big business humanity faces a bleak future from which I see no escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What the Title Says
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014

I enjoyed the book and the many facts, names and references that back up the author's assertions. Although he is obviously promoting alternatives to the drugs-and-surgery method widely and almost exclusively used when you visit your medical professional today, he still gives both sides of the argument. Sometimes a drug is indicated but not always. And sometimes surgery is the only answer. But the suppression of alternative solutions for many medical conditions as shown in the book is a real thing and not the work of crazy quacks like many would have us believe. One example in my own life is a blood test that indicated that I had hypothyroidism. That means that you will be prescribed a pill with the artificial hormone that must be taken for the rest of your life. Instead I researched the subject and started taking a supplement that included iodine and the next test showed that I was normal. My doctor never considered offering a lifestyle change or any other solution whatsoever except the drug. This is typical medicine today.

The title of the book speaks for itself. The entire medical field has become a racket that suppresses alternatives. That is the scope of the book. It is not a thorough encyclopedia of all the alternatives available but a factual report on how those alternatives, some used successfully for thousands of years, are purposefully suppressed and ridiculed by those who do not have a financial or professional interest in recommending them. You don't need a tinfoil hat to read and believe the evidence, just a logical mind. The book I read was copyrighted in 1992 which is an advantage as many of the things he predicted then have come to pass. Chiropractics, for example, was once entirely ridiculed by the medical profession and insurers alike.

Think about it. When was the last time your doctor had any solution for a medical condition you had other than drugs or surgery? We are overweight. We eat sugar and grease in excess. We sit in front of our TV or computer for hours on end. Our kids do not play in the street or parks anymore but sit in front of a video game. And we solve all of these problems with some new wonder drug. Why not try actually getting to the root of the problem first? Unfortunately today we have to be our own physician or we will end up like so many who take dozens of pills several times a day all solving some problem created by our lifestyle or the side effect of another drug.

This book exposes the facts behind the medical/pharmaceutical/insurance/food complex's vested interest in keeping us sick. Bottom line = profits and they will go to any lengths to protect them EVEN (and often) at the cost of human life. Yes, there REALLY IS a "conspiracy" of these business interests working together to suppress alternative medicine because they cannot profit from it and i takes away from their existing business. This book provides absolute documented proof of exactly and specifically how this is being carried out.
For those of us who want to be well and take care of our families this book is a must read and worth wading through miles of evidence to reach the conclusion of how this organized crime is being perpetrated. Kudos to DR Carter!

This book was a wake up call, and coincides with my and my family's experience throughout the corona pandemic, and before that as well. Doctors accuse you of making symptoms up, assign a pill for every ill, and call nearly everything idiopathic - meaning they know nothing. Modern medicine is garbage.

A very enlightening book and worth every penny and moment it takes to read it. It's absolutely criminal what's going on in our hospitals, government and drug companies! We are kept in the dark as many valuable, inexpensive and safe alternatives are made illegal/unavailable and denied the research monies they deserve in order to be brought into the mainstream. Read this book and be enraged!

If you want to know what really happens in the "business of medicine" you have to read this book. Honest, full of frightening facts, it makes you want to scream with anger and fury, and makes you wonder how the current state of affairs is allowed to remain as it is. Medicine is a huge business - never doubt that. The more people realize it, the faster change will become possible. Read it and tell others about it. Not to be missed.

I already knew things were rather upside down.... but whew. Just goes to show that we need to know our bodies, take great care of ourselves, & be able to use wisdom. and research our options for the best course of action. Dr's and hospitals etc are quite needed. But folks things are not going to get any better with Uncle Sam sticking his nose in the midst of all this.
