Product Description

New edition of this highly controversial and campaigning book that reveals the truth about the pills and procedures your doctor prescribes and offers proven alternatives for diagnosing, preventing and treating many illnesses. Includes updated information on all the most recent health issues -- vaccination, HRT, Viagra, IVF and more. Every year, 1.17 million British people -- a population the size of Birmingham -- are put in a hospital bed by a medical procedure gone wrong. And 80% of most of the treatments we take for granted have never been scientifically proven to work. In this groundbreaking book, leading health campaigner Lynne McTaggart reveals the real secrets of modern medicine. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition tackles some of the most worrying health issues of recent years. For example, did you know: / Statin drugs, the new miracle cure for high cholesterol, are causing a heart failure epidemic? / SSRI drugs -- now come with a black box warning about suicide risk to children / HRT, touted as the most important preventative treatment for all the diseases of female old age, actually causes heart disease, dementia, strokes and cancer? / IVF could be causing cases of breast cancer? / The statistics about illnesses prevented by vaccination are vastly overplayed? / Viagra, the great white hope of male impotence, has caused a rash of sudden deaths and is effective, at most, only half the time. What Doctors Don't Tell You gives you all the information you need to take your health into your own hands, exposing the true dangers of conventional medicine and offering up-to-the-minute, scientifically proven alternatives for diagnosing, preventing and treating many illnesses.

Review
'Rings the alarm bells on procedures well before they become the stuff of national panic.' Observer 'The ultimate almanac by a pioneer and innovator in the field of health ! Engaging, provocative and a must-read for all." Dr Gillian McKeith 'A mine of subversive information!irresistibly argued. Lynne McTaggart is a very big thorn in the side of the medical propaganda machine.' DR KEITH MUMBY, author of The Allergy Handbook 'A hugely impressive book, and the finest critique of modern medical practice I have yet read. Lynne McTaggart takes a scalpel straight to the heart of medicine's most cherished dogmas. Essential reading!' PETER COX, health campaigner and bestselling author 'A fascinating and well-researched expose.' Patrick Holford 'Lynne McTaggart has done the public a huge service by highlighting modern medicine's major failings in this book. Reading it will help ensure that we can make more informed choices about the healthcare we choose.' Dr John Briffa Praise for The Field: 'I think this is an important book and should be widely read. It stretches the imagination, making a good case that we are on the verge of another revolution in our understanding of the universe -- perhaps even greater than the one that heralded the Atomic Age.' Arthur C. Clarke 'We must freely explore the unknown. Read, learn, accept and change your view of life ! fascinating.' Bernie Siegel, M.D. 'The Field is a preview of third-millennium science and how it will touch the lives of every person on earth!McTaggart's book should come with a warning: MAY FOREVER CHANGE YOUR WORLD VIEW.' Larry Dossey, M.D. "A fascinating read for anyone who believes there is more to this world than meets the eye. Unputdownable." JACQUES BENVENISTE One of the most powerful and enlightening books I have ever read. I encourage everyone to spend the time examining how we are all connected by thought, by emotions, and yes, even by the atoms and molecules that make up our bodies. This kind of awareness is needed today more than ever before.' DR WAYNE DYER The Field is one of the most thought-provoking reads of 2001!This is not the first book on the universal energy called 'The Zero Point Field' , but it is probably the most readable, for a non scientist.' THE ECOLOGIST 'The Force is with us, even if mainstream science is taking its time to get up to speed in acknowledging it. Fortunately, as Lynne McTaggart highlights in The Field, frontier scientists have been performing experiments that prove the reality of a realm that hitherto had been the domain of Eastern mystics!The vast scope of this book lifts the veil on a state of being that is our birthright!' Nexus magazine Lynne McTaggart has done us a great favor by her extensive reporting on this wondrous topic. Her work is strongly recommended. Hal Fox, Editor, Journal of New Energy

The medical behemoth challenged
I used to be a nurse some years ago and when I read this book I recognised my experience. We all have to place our trust in something or someone in this life but, as this book so ably demonstrates, the medical profession is not necessarily the best place for it. This book (along with a good bibliography) will give you enough amunition to make up your own mind and to go onto further reading.
I think the important thing to remember if you are afraid of challenging medical orthodoxy is they really are only human and they do not possess the answers to all of lifes problems.

A MUST !!! have book for the whole family
Its unbelieveable some of the things that doctors don't tell you, written very clearly in layman terms. Buy it its more than worth many times the price of the book.

An essential read
After three trips through the modern maternity service, I can testify that the pregnancy section of this book is extremely accurate, and not in the least over the top or unduely alarmist.

An essential read for anyone who wants to take control of their health.
