OVERPRESCRIBED: A Biochemist Case for Treating Causes, Not Symptoms

By Manish Shah

Every drug you take is an answer to a question that was probably never asked: why? As a biochemist who has spent decades studying how living systems work, I have come to understand that your body is not malfunctioning - it is responding intelligently to conditions that need to change. This book is not anti-medicine. It is pro-understanding. It makes the case, with evidence from the world's leading medical journals, that treating symptoms without addressing their causes is not healthcare. It is management. And you deserve more than to be managed for the rest of your life.

- Why lowering your cholesterol number is not the same as fixing what raised it
- The biochemical cascades that turn one drug into five - and what to do instead
- Evidence-based lifestyle interventions that outperform medication for most chronic conditions
- The five questions every patient must ask before accepting any long-term prescription
