I've got to admit, this is one of my all-time favorite book titles.
That's right, Death by Modern Medicine. it's a book title! Let me tell you more about it.
It's an all-new eBook release from Dr. Carolyn Dean, my all-time favorite MD/Naturopathic Doctor, good friend, and colleague in teh quest to bring wellness, good preventative self-care, and holistic health optimism everywhere!
For now, back to the book.
Death by Modern Medicine….Seeking Safe Solutions ("when ONE medicine is the ONLY cure…") says it all in a headline and connects right to the heart – and gut – immediately!
With her chocked up years of experience as BOTH an M.D. and Naturopathic doctor, Carolyn Dean knows how to riffle through the riffraff and come up with safe alternatives….BEFORE you get to the doctor.
We all know that modern meds have their place, including Dr. Dean – and we all suspect that they are relied on far too heavily as well. Am I right?
Death by Modern Medicine (2005 edition) won the 2006 Independent Publisher Book Award for "Most Progressive Health Book." It has been referenced by thousands of people around the world, most notably by Shirley MacLaine in her new book Sage-ing While Age-ing. In the three years since the first edition, much has changed; some things for the better and some things have gotten worse.
Author, Dr. Carolyn Dean, is often asked on radio shows to confirm that natural medicine is becoming more widely accepted and benefiting the general population. She really sees no evidence of this happening. As long as allopathic medicine remains the gatekeeper of access to health services and insurance reimbursement, people with other skills will not be allowed to play in that sandbox. Even worse, allopathic medicine continues to prosecute doctors who offer health care that is outside the standard practice of medicine, which is limited to drugs and surgery. There can be no renaissance in medicine with such limitations to our freedom of choice and free will.
Dr. Dean's eBook can be purchased and downloaded immediately via this page…

The practice of “diseasemongering” by the drug industry is promoting non-existent illnesses or exaggerating minor ones for the sake of profits, according to a set of essays published by the open-access journal Public Library of Science Medicine.
The special issue, edited by David Henry, of Newcastle University in Australia, and Ray Moynihan, an Australian journalist, reports that conditions such as female sexual dysfunction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and “restless legs syndrome” have been promoted by companies hoping to sell more of their drugs.
Other minor problems that are a normal part of life, such as symptoms of the menopause, are also becoming increasingly “medicalised”, while risk factors such as high cholesterol levels or osteoporosis are being presented as diseases in their own right, according to the editors. [Read More]
