The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It
$15.95
In my experience, 90% of people will express that they know drug companies are motivated mostly by profits and that prescription drugs are dangerous. However, 90% of people will also take whatever drug their doctor recommends!

Marcia Angell was the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, putting her into a position to really KNOW the truth about drug companies. To protect yourself and your loved ones, it is vital to know the answers to questions like, "Don't the drug companies need to charge high prices, so that they could do research and develop new life-saving drugs?" Dr. Angell makes it very clear that the answer is NO. There are very few new innovative drugs each year, and these are mostly from university or biotech company researchers. The drug companies mainly come up with "me-too" drugs, from the Department of Redundancy Department.

This book covers the subject fully and is easy reading. Learn how these powerful companies have influence over politicians and health organizations, medical schools and medical journals. Most importantly, you learn to have a very healthy suspicion when your doctor pulls out his prescription pad. A must read.

Alaven Pharmaceuticals Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules, 120-Count Bottle
$39.00
I wish this product were available 20 years ago. I have been prescribed countless antibiotics over the past 20-25 years for what my urologist said were recurrent UTI's. I since have found another urologist who specializes in women's urological issues. He prescribed Alaven Pharmaceuticals Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules, 120-Count Bottle. I started on one capsule daily since April 2009, then increased to two capsules daily in August 2009. My "UTI" symptoms gradually have disappeared. I am using this product and a mild antihistimine at bedtime. Ladies who are diagnosed with recurrent UTI's PLEASE seek a second opinion or insist on a cystoscopy to determine if you have a condition called Interstitial Cystitis (ulcers on the bladder lining) rather than actual urinary tract infections. The antibiotics do NOTHING for IC and are not good for you to be taking over and over again. I am 47 years old and received this diagnosis in April 2009 after suffering needlessly for years. It is all about finding the right doctor. Also, PLEASE do not let your doctor tell you there is nothing that can be done for Interstitial Cystitis. That is not true. I am proof! AND! You do not be led to believe that the only way to treat IC is through medication with unsettling side effects. This product has certainly helped me, and I hope you it will help you!
