These
are just a few of the shocking facts presented by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn
in Confessions of a Medical Heretic. This new release of the critically
acclaimed bestseller gives readers the information needed to help make
their own medical decisions. Dr. Mendelsohn, world-famous physician and
patient advocate, was a pioneer in the movement toward truth in the medical

dangerous than the diseases they are designed to diagnose and treat. This
provocative book covers issues from unnecessary surgery and prescribed
drugs to preventive medicine and home birth. At a time when Americans
are more concerned than ever with total health and how to achieve it,
this is a book you can't afford to ignore.
