Defy Your Doctor and Be Healed


Book Description

Without any fear of repercussion or rejection, Thomas and Sarah will lead you through a compelling, never-before-seen exposure of widespread fraud in mainstream and alternative medicine in Defy Your Doctor and Be Healed. This book is meant to be more than just an investigation of fraudulent medicine -- it's intended to save your life. It's sure to be provocative as you'll learn much of what you're told or sold by medical 'authorities' and the media can be reduced to cleverly devised narratives or pathways for profiteering. As you learn the ins-and-outs, you'll be given the tools and knowledge to take charge of your health with confidence. As the veteran "health detectives" of Health Wyze Media, Thomas and Sarah have earned enduring reputations for asking tough questions and getting unpopular answers. They are the producers of The Health Wyze Report, a hard, in-depth look at the truth behind today's orthodox and alternative medicine, and "The Cancer Report", a documentary about the cancer industry and its alternatives. Defy Your Doctor and Be Healed is the culmination of seven years of uncompromising medical research and reporting. Its premise is simple: it approaches standard and alternative medicine from a scientific standpoint, examining their goods and ills. It also asserts that the human body has natural healing abilities, and that the answers to most of our health dilemmas are so close to us that we're unable to see them.
