From the Back Cover

READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU SEE YOUR DOCTOR

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.

The shocking truth is that 80 per cent of most of the treatments we take for granted – cholesterol lowering, heart surgery, even treatments for everyday conditions like arthritis or asthma – have never been scientifically proven to work, let alone to be safe. In many instances modern medicine's 'cure' is far worse than the disease.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Mammograms may be more likely to cause cancer than identify it?
• Cholesterol-lowering regimes can actually increase your chances of dying?
• Foetal ultrasound scans don't make one bit of difference to your health or that of your baby?
• In many cases it's safer to do nothing than have surgery for prostate cancer?

By letting you in on the real trade secrets of medicine, this groundbreaking book is your insurance agent against becoming just another medical statistic. It also offers up-to-the-minute proven scientific alternatives for diagnosing, preventing or treating many illnesses. 'What Doctors Don't Tell You' will become your medical Bible, helping you to take control of your own health.

"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, allergy specialist and 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 best-selling author
