The Book
If you read the newspaper you are probably concerned
about the accuracy of information related to
risks and side effects of drugs, given all of the
disasters that seem to be hitting the papers on a weekly
basis about drugs that don't work as well as we
thought they did or have hidden side effects we
didn't know about. This book is by a medical doctor
who has researched prescription medications for
osteoporosis prevention, cholesterol lowering,
antibiotic treatment of infections, as well as
many other conditions, as well as vitamins, herbs
and supplements, and put this information in an
easy to read guide, together with alternatives to
prescription medication.
