Racketeering in Medicine The Suppression of Alternatives

by James P. Carter

Are Americans being deprived of economical and truly
effective medical treatments because orthodox medicine and
pharmaceutical companies can't profit from them? With hard
hitting analysis backed by overwhelming evidence, Dr.
Carter presents many disturbing cases of legitimate
therapies being disparaged as quackery, government
agencies harassing alternative practitioners, and drug
companies peddling their influence—the real causes of
today's health-care crisis.

The alternative medicine movement has grown immensely in the
last few years. The fact that alternative treatments are
generally much less expensive to the consumer has created
powerful enemies within the pharmaceutical-medical
industrial complex. Alternative doctors are routinely
singled out for harassment or worse by local medical boards.
Sometimes a gifted M.D. finds his licence threatened simply
because he has promoted a treatment that is untraditional.

Racketeering in Medicine boldly reveals what still happens
to doctors, even in these modern times, who dare to seek
and use knowledge which has not been sanctioned by the
American Medical Association or approved by the Federal
Drug Administration. It uncovers how effective treatments
for cancer, heart disease and AIDS are being suppressed in
the name of profit or special interest. Dr. Carter deals
with many aspects of the problem, including the role of the
FDA, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the
battle of the chelation doctors, legal battles, transcripts
and much more.

Racketeering in Medicine is an extremely important book
which all physicians and consumers should read if we truly
want to create wellness. The quality of our lives and the
advancement of medicine depend on it.
