"Every American should read this book. This book offers critical insight into the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry and what we all must do to protect ourselves and change the system to one that offers health benefits, not corporate profits."
"Because of the industry I work in I can verify this book doesn't exaggerate. I've seen it from all sides, patient, drug company and doctor.
The book is very eye opening although I think in addition to pointing a finger at the RX drug industry Americans need to be held accountable for our culture of wanting a pill to solve every little problem when a lot of the time a lifestyle change will help with no side effects which require more drugs."
"Well I finished it and I must say it was an eye opener! It will certainly get me to question my doctor next time they introduce a new drug or up the dosage on me! If you don't have time to read the whole book, at least read the epilogue which summarizes her research."
"A must read for all Americans. Not just those on prescription drugs either. Corruption in the drug industries effects our entire society on so many levels. I have always been aware there are serious problems, but Petersen really brings so many of these issues into one reading. The system is broken. Drugs are no longer discovered for out health, only for profit. She leaves out some of the details that do not add to her arguments, but it is important that people know what is going on. I couldn't help seeing the parallel between Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, when everyone takes their soma when any little thing bothers them; and today's Take-a-pill-for-that! society. Serious industry reform is badly needed and long overdue."
