Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Perhaps I should have put this onto the Chat Forum, but to be honest, it is too important and not every member is registered on the Chat forum. I have gone on long enough about Dirty Medicine, written by . Every member should read this so that you have a full understanding of what is going on behind closed doors in order to keep you ill and stopping you from getting a proper diagnosis or being given a choice of treatment. Here you go! Luv - Sheila From: Slingshot Publications [mailto:info@...] Sent: 19 May 2011 18:28 sheila@... Subject: New Book - Dirty Medicine, The Handbook DIRTY MEDICINE THE HANDBOOK New Book Release www.slingshotpublications.com dirtymedicine@... Dirty Medicine The Handbook follows the acclaimed original written over 20 years ago highlighting the unethical and illicit practices of drug companies. Today, we can still find a plethora of dubious and unethical practices linked to the industry. From ghost written papers and fraudulent journals, to reports of multimillion dollar damages against many major drug companies to depictions of abuse of the poor in Africa in novels like Le Carre’s Constant Gardener. These issues have become a major concern of our day. How did it come to this? How did it happen in the UK? How did medical treatment as provided by most doctors come to represent an allopathic monopoly? Why are the NHS paying out millions for drugs every year when there are clearly many side effects and dangers consequent upon taking these drugs? Why are there tens of web sites dedicated to destroying homeopathy, herbal medicine and therapies like chiropractic. Who are key figures responsible? Learn more by buying Dirty Medicine The Handbook an explanation of how it came about and a ‘Who’s Who’ of many of the key figures and organisations involved. Quotes from the book “Twenty years ago, the use of undercover groups and disinformation in aid of competitive marketing was restricted to a small number of toxic industries, such as those of asbestos and tobacco. As the run–down of the public sector has moved relentlessly forward, and the spaces left by ‘independent’ government–led bodies have been filled by corporate industry groups, so lobbying, undercover groups and disinformation have become, instead of peculiarities, the order of the day. “Just as, in 1985, one might have mistrusted a news item obviously promoted by the tobacco industry, today it would be unwise to believe any news item about science and environmentally caused illnesses. Today almost all information about the environmental causes of ill health is corrupted with hidden messages slipped in by corporate interests.†Dirty Medicine: The Handbook is ’s twenty year follow up to his book, Dirty Medicine:Science, big business and the assault on natural health care.
