Introducing John Abrams, MD, author of Overdosed America.
In an in-depth interview on CNN this morning, John
Abramson, MD, board member of the Alliance for Human Research Protection,
explained why it is that 74% of Americans who visit a doctor, leave with a
prescription for a drug (or several drugs), and why taking drugs is NOT the
best way to good health.
Dr. Abramson succictly explains how American medicine's
reliance and over use of drugs--primarily new, expensive drugs--is driven by
the drug industry. And how that industry controls most of the channels of
communication by which medical information is transmitted to physicians and the
public.
