What Doctors Don't Tell You - Dangerous Drugs [PDF]

This two-volume set explores the way the drug companies operate, how they get the drugs to market and how they influence doctors into prescribing them to you. It also pinpoints the most dangerous drugs around and their worrying side effects.

n the first volume, Dangerous Drugs, we explore the over-the-counter remedies (which don’t need a prescription), drugs for depression—including Prozac and the SSRIs—drugs for children, and the antibiotics.

And, as we know, every drug is a powerful chemical that has the potential for causing a range of adverse reactions and side effects. But they can also be the unsuspected trigger for many recognisable health conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, dementia, and many of the problems associated with ageing, such as instability, memory loss and incontinence.

In the second volume, Secrets and Side Effects, we look at the way the drugs industry manipulates science in order to achieve the right result to get its drug prescribed. But a drug is worthless without a disease, and we uncover the occasions when the industry has even invented diseases in order to create a new market. Sometimes they produce ‘scare’ stories in the world’s media to get governments buying their drugs in the event of a pandemic that never materialises.

In the second part, we look at the dangerous side effects of some of the world’s most common drugs, including the COX-2 inhibitors, the bisphosphonates, the anti-epileptics, and the statins.
