What Your Doctor Won'T Tell You

This is an informative, well-written book. It is excellent as both a beginning book and an ending book (though not exclusively).

This is an excellent book

I'm quite perturbed by the negative reviews of what I consider a wonderful book. These reviews seem full of hate and vituperation. They also distort Heimlich's views and are, in my opinion, strongly and strangely biased.The chapter on chelation, in particular, has saved a good friend of mine from extensive surgery which had been scheduled, but was then cancelled because chelation brought about an increase in circulation which baffled the doctors. I seriously wonder if these reviewers have actually read this book. It is written in a delightful, often humorous way that makes its points easily and well.

alternative medicine

I thought this was a great book to start with on today's alternative medicine. I have noticed that western medicine is restricted to drugs and surgery because that is what makes the most money. I can see why western doctors would be angry with Jane's book because she questions what is going on with western medicine. If you want to hear something more frightening, listen to the tape "Dead doctors don't lie" by Joel Wallach. Jane may have some mistakes in her book, but my observations as a layman lead me to believe that she is right-on because where western doctors have failed to help my family, holistic healers (naturopaths etc) have triumphed. Especially her chapter about cholesterol. I have found in more and more corners where what she is saying is exactly right - the whole issue is bunk
