Detoxify Or Die
by Sherry A. Rogers, M.D.

Man has neglected one fundamental biological rule; to check and see if the organism is adapting to its new environment. She says we are the first generation to be exposed to such an unprecedented number of chemicals. The work of detoxifying these causes serious deficiencies. This maladaptation in turn has resulted in chronic disease. But disease is not a drug deficiency.  Detoxify Or Die is Dr. Rogers' 12th book with complete directions and over 700 scientific references by leading environmental medicine authority, Sherry A. Rogers, M.D., ABEM, ABFP, FACN, FACAAI.  Prestige Publishing, December 2002, Softcover, ISBN: 1887202048

This book is the tremendous reference which we relied upon as we began removing the toxins from our son and addressing the biomedical damage caused by mercury.

Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers--And Why GIs Are Only The First Victims
by Gary Matsumoto

This is a story of betrayal of hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel who became subjects of an experimental vaccine that has caused many of them to suffer debilitating chronic diseases. Every soldier who served in the 1991 Gulf War was vaccinated against anthrax; an unknown number of them received a fast-acting experimental vaccine that has been linked to medical complications. In 1998, military doctors commenced a mandatory anthrax vaccination program for all active military and civilian defense employees, 2.4 million people in all. All of them received the new vaccine, with its booster that can cause autoimmune disease. Author Gary Matsumoto is the journalist who first broke the story of the connection between the anthrax and Gulf War syndrome.  Basic Books, October 2004, Hardcover, ISBN: 0-465-04400-X

Fatal Deception: The Untold Story of Asbestos; Why It Is Still Legal and Still Killing Us
by Michael Bowker

After reading this compelling book, I couldn’t help but marvel at the striking similarities between asbestos and Thimerosal particularly in the manner the industry and various regulatory agencies “handled” the matter in the face of mounting litigation.

FATAL DECEPTION tells a terrifying and maddening story of blinding greed and deceit by the asbestos companies that has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.  It will disturb you with the facts behind why asbestos – which consists of microscopic fibers that penetrate our lungs and other organs and cause several types of cancers and other incurable diseases – is still being put into our homes, offices and automobiles every day. Asbestos has been banned in nearly every other industrialized country in the world except the U.S. and Canada.  Rodale Press, January 2003, Hardcover and Paperback, ISBN:  1579546846.  For more info visit www.mikebowker.com.

The Truth About the Drug Companies
by Marcia Angell, M.D.

Former New England Journal of Medicine Editor Dr. Marcia Angell examines the pharmaceutical industry.  According to Dr. Angell, it is fraught with corruption and doing a disservice to customers, the federal government, and to the medical establishment itself. In The Truth About the Drug Companies, Angell explains how a huge portion of the revenue generated by "Big Pharma" goes not into research and development but into aggressive marketing campaigns to sell their product. She describes how, even though the drug companies claim that it costs them an average of 802 million dollars per drug to develop new medicines, a figure that is obscenely inflated since it factors in marketing as well as expected interest the company would have received had they invested the money in the open market. Meanwhile, Angell says, most of the R & D work is done by colleges and universities funded by the government. Random House, August 2004, Hardback and paperback, ISBN: 0375508465

Science in the Private Interest : Has the Lure of Profits Corrupted Biomedical Research?
by Sheldon Krimsky

University science is now entangled with entrepreneurship, and researchers with a commercial interest are caught in an ethical quandary. Science in the Private Interest investigates the trends and effects of modern, commercialized academic science.  According to the New England Journal of Medicine, this book takes an uncompromising stance on the need for scientific integrity, Science in the Private Interest is carefully researched and presents arguments from all sides of the issues under discussion. Case studies sprinkled throughout the book demonstrate that the main characters -- universities, large companies, and some academicians -- at times cloak monetary and career-advancing priorities in scientific clothing.

On The Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health
by Jerome Kassirer

In this shocking expose, Dr. Jerome Kassirer, the former Editor-in-Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, offers an unsettling look at the pervasive payoffs that physicians take from big drug companies and other medical suppliers, arguing that the billion-dollar onslaught of industry money has deflected many physicians' moral compasses and directly impacted the everyday care we receive from the doctors and institutions we trust most. Kassirer details the shocking extent of these financial enticements and explains how they encourage bias, promote dangerously misleading medical information, raise the cost of medical care, and breed distrust. Among the questionable practices he describes are: the disturbing number of senior academic physicians who have financial arrangements with drug companies; the unregulated "front" organizations that advocate certain drugs; the creation of biased medical education materials by the drug companies themselves; and the use of financially conflicted physicians to write clinical practice guidelines or to testify before the FDA in support of a particular drug.
