This is a book breaking the cultural hypnosis that accepts medical advice as absolutely based in irrefutable science, and that says anyone who is sick or dying has done wrong, deserving censure. In the quest to practice prevention as much as possible, we went too far by defining the sick and dying as failures and even immoral. The author talks of how people always ask if someone who died of lung cancer smoked, leaving the impression they immorally caused the cancer and deserved it. The author is a scientist, though she denies it, but her writing is easy to read, always interesting, and she makes compelling and documented cases. As a retired RN and therapist, I don't always agree with her, but wanting to avoid hardening of the opinions, consider her conclusions carefully and generally say, "Yes! That's right! Exactly." in every chapter This fascinating book is well worth reading. Read full review
