Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"Twenty percent of all Americans, half of the elderly British, and two thirds of older Canadians take at least five prescription drugs per day--their lives a nonstop ritual of pill popping and trying to manage side effects. One in ten people in developed countries take antidepressants. Millions of boys who can't sit still in school are prescribed methamphetamines. Modern medicine has come to rely too much on pharmaceutical--as well as surgical--intervention. Skyrocketing global healthcare costs render this overmedication increasingly unaffordable. The wonders of modern medicine have also obscured the body's ability to heal itself. Your body produces its own drugs that can treat pain as well as a prescription, cure some joint problems as well as a surgeon, and treat most mild depression as well as a psychologist. We've all heard of endorphins, but did you know "endorphin" literally means "morphine made by your body"? Besides the body's self-healing abilities, recent clinical trials clearly show that states of mind affect our health. Relaxation, positive thinking, and comfortable social environments all provide measurable health benefits--sometimes as much as blockbuster drugs. Written using the latest high-quality clinical studies, Doctor You arms you with knowledge that will empower you to make the right choices about what drugs to take, what drugs to give your children, and when you should let your body do its thing."--From publisher.
