Book excerpt: Terence Young exposes the pharmaceutical industry secrets and cultural myths that thwart our safe use of prescription drugs.... Everyone should read it before their next visit to a doctor. — DR. NANCY OLIVIERI, MD, physician and professor When it comes to drug safety, Big Pharma holds all the power, and it’s time for patients to take it back. Tens of millions of patients in North America take prescription drugs, but the safety of these drugs is often based on medical myths. We are led to believe that if a medication isn’t safe, the government would never allow it on the market and that doctors would never prescribe a drug that isn’t proven effective. Who controls these narratives? And do they always have the best interests of patients in mind? In an in-depth study of the enormous influence the pharmaceutical industry has over our health, drug safety advocate Terence Young explores how those with the most to gain financially are also those who wield all the power in health care — and withhold the knowledge that is critical to the safety of patients. Forbidden Knowledge reveals the truth you need to know about prescription drugs and what to do about it. It will empower you to partner with your doctor to talk openly and plainly about medications to help avoid serious adverse drug reactions. This is your survival guide to Big Pharma.

Download or read book The Three Angels Good News written by Sherrilee Fish and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three heavenly angels streak across the expanse of the starry heavens and penetrate earth’s atmosphere to bring an urgent message to human beings to prepare them for Jesus’ return from heaven to earth. This three-part symbolic message is found in Revelation 14, the heart of the prophecies of the book of Revelation. Believers in the second advent of Christ in the mid-nineteenth century discovered this message and began sharing it with others. Over time, many of the children and grandchildren of those believers have lost their connection with that message and its relevance for them in a complex post-modern world. Author Sherrilee Fish unpacks the message of those angels for young people so that they can understand that the God who loves them was willing to save them at great cost and that He wants them to happily wait for the glorious return of Jesus to the earth. He also wants to give them the antidote to the dreaded mark of the beast and the marks of faithfulness of the people that Jesus will take with Him to heaven. Share its message with your children or let them read it on their own.

Two years after contracting glandular fever, she ignored the fact that she had a face like a pufferfish and escaped to the University of Cambridge to achieve her dream of becoming a top scientist. But her immune system had other ideas. And a virus wasn’t the only thing she found herself fighting, as she came up against a doctor that judged her health based on her thigh measurements; friends who made “helpful” comments such as “You’re not still ill, are you?”; and a society that too often dismisses ME/CFS sufferers as lazy or crazy. Unable to achieve her goals, she set out to find medical answers. Along the way, she began to question her beliefs and learned that when you can’t define yourself by what you do, you find out who you really are. Packed with scientific insight and practical pointers, It’s Not the Strongest That Survives tells a tale of finding fulfilment, and shines a light on what it means to truly heal.

This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manson, Sinatra and Me is a Hollywood party girl’s memoir that details her encounters with former Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, foreign dignitaries, celebrities, sports stars, businessmen - you name it - including the likes of Frank Sinatra and other members of the Rat Pack. The average man or woman may not have heard of Virginia Graham, but everybody in the know was aware of what her game was as a key player in the Hollywood Screw System. When Virginia found herself in trouble with the law, she ended up in jail. Yet somehow she continued to meet interesting people - like Susan Atkins, her cellmate, who confessed to Virginia about how she had butchered Sharon Tate and her unborn child. Atkins also told how she and her friends, all members of the Manson Family, were involved in what has become known as the Tate/LaBianca murders. Virginia reveals the true story behind Susan Atkins’ prison confession about the Manson Murders, what led to her becoming a key witness for District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi in the Helter Skelter case, and why she went into hiding after the trial ended. Virginia’s testimony helped save the lives of many Hollywood celebrities, and she received recognition from Elizabeth Taylor for doing so. Praise received for Manson, Sinatra and Me “Virginia Graham had a heck of a run in her life as a party girl, and has told of her rollicking story very well in this poignant and sometimes very funny memoir of hers. She also happened to be a star witness of mine in helping me bring the Manson Family killers to justice, something for which I will always be very grateful to her.” - Vincent Bugliosi, bestselling author of Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders “Virginia Graham’s personal tell-all as a party girl is a page-turner from beginning to end. Her writing, breezy, humorously and sometimes harrowingly candid, proves her to be an honest chronicler of her own life and times... and what times these were! Her landing in jail, which brings us to what was then the Crime of the Century, comes as a wallop. This book is a winner.” - Jack Engelhard, bestselling novelist of Indecent Proposal and The Bathsheba Deadline “A riveting read, with the best sex tales you’ve never heard about classic Hollywood celebrities like Frank Sinatra and notorious gangsters like Mickey Cohen. Virginia Graham’s fateful meeting with Susan Atkins turned her into a national hero for breaking the case against the Manson Family. This book is an important work of true crime and a thrilling peek into Hollywood behind closed doors.” - Dr. Gloria Brame, sex therapist, blogger and bestselling author of Different Loving and The Truth About Sex “Whether Virginia Graham writes of her time behind bars or of living the high life as a party girl, every word reads as the truth. I admire this writer because every word, every phase is an education in pushing through any difficulties in life. She is a survivor. This is a memoir that stays with the reader, and is by far one of the best memoirs I have read in a very long time.” - Jasmine Kinnear, author of Every Cat Has A Story
