What Doctors Don't Tell You : The Truth About the Dangers of Modern Medicine

Very informative and makes perfect sense. Want to get a copy for my doctor. Ask questions and do your research. There job is to keep you coming back.

I bought the book for my personal reading. It arrived in a timely manner, in very good condition. I was very satisfied with my purchase and its delivery.

To tell the truth I haven't read all of it myself yet but I have it sitting out and other people have been reading it. Some people thought that it was an eye opening book. Others said that although it was interesting they personally needed to trust their doctor because of their professional training. The combined responses along with what I have read tell me that McTaggart has written a readable and informative book. There is plenty of information for those who want to take more responsibility for their own health. But she does not resort to scare tactics or sensationalism. In short she is a good reporter and journalist.

It is recommended that women "prevent" breast cancer by subjecting the breasts yearly to mammography radiation, when radiation causes cancer. Men with slow growing and potentially non-life threatening prostate cancer are aggressively treated with radiation as well, when radiation has been proven to cause cancer. We are put under heavy anesthesia, inducing a unnaturally deep, deadening sleep, and have our bodies probed with metal instruments just to "prevent disease" even though we show no symptoms. We take strong drugs, often with heavy side effects, to "prevent disease", or to treat conditions that could be addressed by nutrition, supplements, emotional counceling or regular exercise. Back pain is treated by injecting steroids (heavy duty drugs with dangerous side effects) directly into the spine. We are told that women going through menopause, a natural process, are experiencing an hormonal "imbalance" that needs to be "corrected" by administering hormones in doses far greater than the body would ever produce on its own. Pregnant women are told to have a large needle inserted into the womb on a during healthy pregnancy, to verify her baby is "developing normally". Much of modern medicine is deadly overkill. This book vindicates those of us who have had the idea that many modern medical treatments and "preventions" are an invasive affront to simple common sense.

This is an older book. I gave it as a gift, but glanced through it first. Some of the things are outdated such as having mercury in your teeth fillings. Dentists haven't used mercury for quite sometime. Also, there were a few other things such as that which have changed since the book was written,. The book still has some interesting things to read about if you like this subject.

I love the way this book exposes the myths of modern medicine that give assurance to us all that doctors can properly diagnose/cure everything that afflicts us except "that one particular ailment that brought us to their office on that particular day"....This book covers every fallacy from scans, grams, probes etc. and what the true odds of each procedure will be to discover and cure what ails us. Purchase this book only if you want the truth from a neutral third party. The AMA is definitely not going to recommend it!

Lynne McTaggart has been attacked by the mainstream profession for her outright honesty. She lays nothing hidden and has recently gone as far as gaining a PhD to meet her critics and challenge them at their own game. A great book for not just a few but all. Her latest books are cutting edge.

Most useful information and worth researching more fully. It is a good boook althogh to be fair, it does apear to be a collection of others' ideas. However, they are "rolled into one" as the author has collated the research from many aspects and done a lot of work for any reader interested in the subject of how the mediacal world has evolved from snakeoil salesmen to the present (not a lot has changed, except the cost to the consumer/taxpayer!). Will engender a healthy dose of cynicism but it must be remembered that not all medicine is bad - just that some of the less useful elements can often be dressed up as something else to promote the philosophy/recover the development costs. Things change constantly in the medical world. When I ws a young midwife in the 60s /70s, post partum mothers with perineal bruising were sat in baths of lead lotion. It worked to a degree to reduce discomfort but if anyone tried that nowadays, any policy of adding lead to a treatment, might just meet with more than simple criticism. When science and ideas move on, the underlying mechanisms can change dramatically so it is a good idea not to believe everything you are told and this book goes a long way to helping with developing a questioning attitude - i.e. should help you to the habit of thinking for yourself and looking behind the glossy claims.
