Disappointed:
As most people will know, the United States of America is full of people with health problems, largely do to bad diets and laziness. Doctors are now in the habit of prescribing medications at an alarming rate, while not telling patients how to fix the problems WITHOUT drugs. I bought this book in hopes of finding truthful pro/con information about specific medications. This book does NOT supply that information. It is a Pro drug reference only with the exception of the "possible side effects" column which is totally incomplete, not giving accurate info about all the negative things these drugs do to the human body. I am having the book recycled. Maybe someone will use the new pages for truth. For accurate and helpful information, try Best Choices from the People's Pharmacy
