Malhotra, A: Bitter Pill

Global health systems are forecast to collapse in the next few years. Two things are driving ever-increasing demand. The first is the escalating burden of chronic disease, caused by entirely preventable lifestyle related illnesses. The second is over treatment. Millions of people are taking drugs and undergoing tests and operations that will give them no benefit and they don't even know it - not because we don't have the scientific evidence but because it's being sequestered from them.

Collusion between doctors, politicians, respected medical institutions, 'charities' and medical journals, for financial gain, has resulted in an epidemic of misinformation with devastating consequences for our health worldwide.

This is the story of the author's own first-hand experience in not only discovering the truth behind our health (including his own) but taking on and exposing the manipulations of those vested interests that are benefiting from an increasingly fat and sick society. This story will also expose the attempts to silence those who call for greater transparency, including the author's own experience of personal attacks and attempts to destroy his career.

As compelling as a John Grisham novel - but true.
