BITTER PILLS

We take our medicines on faith. We assume our doctors are well-informed, our drug companies scrupulous, our FDA diligent—and our medications safe. All too often we're wrong. Just how wrong is documented in this critically acclaimed portrait of the international pharmaceutical industry by one of the most highly respected investigative journalists. Stephen Fried's wife took a fluoroquinolone for a minor infection—and ended up in the emergency room. Some drug reactions go away in a few hours or days. Diane's did not.

Understanding the Adverse Drug Reactions Associated with Fluoroquinolone Therapy

This article consists of the descriptions of the adverse toxic effects caused by the quinolone and fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics, suffered by previously healthy patients. Many of these injuries are irreversible and permanent in nature. In addition, this article contains data obtained from many individual "first person" reports, as well as information that comes from reputed mainstream medical sources which are readily available to the public.

THE FLOX REPORT

More than fifty percent of the fluoroquinolones have been removed from clinical practice, or their use severely restricted, due to such inherent toxicity. This White Paper details the case against the manufacturers of the drugs found within this class who have put profit and greed ahead of patient safety. The serious nature of these adverse reactions are well known by the various manufacturers who have gone to great lengths to both minimize and trivial these reactions.

In AS SICK AS IT GETS: A DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLAN, Dr. Rudolph Mueller offers readers an accessible primer on the shortcomings of our healthcare system. In doing so, he helps us to better understand the nature and the nuances of this institutionalized trap, this incredibly expensive system that fosters pharmaceutical company bribes, insurance company intimidation, physician and patient deceit, and rampant greed.

AS SICK AS IT GETS

Written by Dr. R.Mueller

Written by Dr. Jay S. Cohen

How safe are the drugs you're taking? In OverDose, a leading medical researcher shows how Americans are being overmedicated, resulting in millions of avoidable side effects. Among other highly questionable practices Dr. Cohen reports is the fact that many drug manufacturers' recommended doses appearing in the Physicians' Desk Reference are too high for many people and are causing a slew of unnecessary adverse reactions, "ranging from dizziness and nausea all the way to death."
