Summary: The message of Responsibility
Review: This provocative yet thoroughly researched and fascinating book explores the American Health Care. As an Australian, this book is still a must read as western society is still influenced by America's research and conduct in health care. Robbins explores the scandals and lies of the AMA, the tobacco companies, the chiropractors, the mid-wives and the battle between conventional and alternative medicine. I was shocked to read the conflict of interests in the tobacco companies and the AMA and the near-heretic persecution of Burzynski's anti-cancer treatments. Overall, this book awakens the reader not only to alternatives and politics in health care but also the important message of taking responsibility for one's own health. The health care system isn't perfect; doctors are not gods; drugs can't cure everything yet the human body has powerful, natural healing powers which can be enhanced. We must pursue a path of health which concentrates on prevention, integrates the best of both conventional and alternative but ultimately a path where we take the responsibility to make informed decisions on our health. Healing is within us.Well written, this book will open your eyes. A must read.
