Authors of "alternative" books would be kidnapped and have their books burned on the street. It could all happen at the stroke of a pen. The infrastructure for tyranny is in place right now, just waiting to be invoked.
Our best weapons: Non-violent protest and speaking the truth
How can we fight back against this onslaught of tyranny? We must use what remaining free speech freedoms we have right now to alert our fellow citizens to what's happening. |

They offer downloadable books only in their proprietary format, and if you don't like this format, you can burn their books to a CD using their software and then you can rip this CD to an MP3 file so you can listen to these audio books on your MP3 player. It's a lot of work to go through, and you're forced to go through it because they won't let you download MP3 files of their books. Why don't they just make files available in MP3 format?
They say they have to protect the intellectual property of their books. |

Diet books often become bestsellers. We have no quarrel with any diet books, even with panacea diets, except when these diets are prescribed to be followed by everyone. They ignore the most important principle or law of nutrition: we are all different. Most diet books advise us what to eat and the various combinations of food we can try. These diets may be very specialized, very restrictive, and often feature how the authors respond to the foods they prefer. There are high-fat and low-fat diet books. There are high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet books. |

Since most of the consumer reference books on drugs are simply over-the-counter versions of the PDR, these books also do not include data on the millions of people who take the drug after it has reached the market.
Before You Take That Pill provides more information about side effects than other books because I have included information that was collected after a drug was put on the market as well as before the drug came to market but that was not widely reported. |

There were a number of popular books, such as Sugar Blues by William Duffy, Hope for Hypoglycemia by Broda Barnes, and Sweet and Dangerous by John Yudkin, which fueled this public interest. In these books, the dangers of too much sugar in the diet were clearly spelled out. Yet since those books were published, the per capita of sugar consumption has risen dramatically. The average American now consumes over 100 pounds of sucrose and 40 pounds of corn syrup each year. This sugar addiction probably plays a major role in the high prevalence of poor health and chronic disease in the United States. |

A few decades ago, authors wrote books about famous doctors. We don't do that. Today, it is common for books about medicine to tell patients' stories, particularly ones with bad endings. We don't do that either. It is also popular these days to write about problems with our health care system, particularly about medicine's high cost, or inequalities in health care delivery—reducing individual physicians "to bits of flotsam on a great economic current," sniffed one editor of a prominent scholarly journal. |

I cannot recommend the books of Dr. Haas strongly enough. If you are still consuming caffeine, sugar, nicotine, or if you're experiencing cravings for sweet or salty foods, I urge you to run down to your local bookstore right now and pick up a copy of The New Detox Diet. Or click here to see all the books authored by Dr. Haas. |

For those curious about diets and Syndrome X, I recommend a couple of books: 40-30-30 Fat Burning Nutrition by Gene and Joyce Daoust, and A Week in the Zone by Barry Sears. These straightforward books recommend the 40-30-30 balance: 40°/o carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat-this is the balance of these macronutrients recommended during a meal. I tend to use more of a 50-25-25 ratio in my office, but the principles are the same.
This is not a high-protein meal program like the Adkin's diet. This is a healthy diet you can continue the rest of your life. |

Some of the books did a great job of explaining the problem but didn't offer any solutions. Others recommended diets that were high in refined carbohydrates (breads, pastas, muffins, bagels), which make both prediabetes and weight problems worse, not better.
Some authors gave vague advice and not enough practical information. Others wrote in such excruciating detail that their plans were nearly impossible to follow. For example, just when people got the hang of counting calories or carbs, a slew of new books asked them to start tracking the glycemic index of foods. |

That's what eventually led Trudeau to write his Natural Cures books, which are now probably the most commercially successful books ever sold via infomercials.
The FTC, it seems, wants to keep targeting Trudeau regardless of what he sells. And while Trudeau's weight loss claims may or may not hold water (I haven't seen the infomercial myself, so I don't know what other statements he may have made), I'm far more interested in the fact that the FTC seems to be uninterested in stopping many other weight loss scams.
For example, what's up with the Slim Fast products at the grocery store? |

We consulted studies published in scientific journals, textbooks of pharmacology and other disciplines, books discussing drug-nutrient-herb interactions, and drug guidebooks. We looked for drugs that had been direcdy studied and shown to deplete nutrients, as well as "related" drugs—that is, drugs that had the same mechanism(s) of action in the body and would thus deplete the same nutrients in the same way. |

I don't know how I possibly found it among the thousands and thousands of books in the library, but something steered me there. In a hunch, I decided to plow through all the books about iron—I knew enough to know that iron was one of the big things my grandfather was giving up every time he donated blood. And then—bam! There it was—a relatively unheard of hereditary condition called hemochromatosis. Basically, hemochromatosis is a disorder that causes iron to build up in the body. |

| At the end of this chapter is a list of well-written books illustrating the crimes being committed against people with chronic diseases. After reading these books, I wondered why an outcry of rage did not reach to the halls of Washington. Where are the voices of our politicians? Our media? Our doctors? Are the cries of the victims so weak they cannot be heard? Then it dawned on me. Witnesses to a horrific automobile accident might seem unaffected by the carnage they see; likewise, most of us possess the human quality of denial. |

IODOPHOBIA AND MISINFORMATION ABOUT IODINE
It is ubiquitous: the fear of using or recommending I (Iodophobia) and misinformation about I are found in books written by laypersons; in books written by physicians for laypersons; and in articles and books written by physicians for physicians. These views influence a large segment of practicing endocrinologists. For example, it is widely held that "high dietary iodine content in some areas of the world has resulted in a rise in the prevalence of thyroiditis and thyroid cancer." 6.7,8,9 However, the mainland Japanese consume a daily average of 4. |

When the healing professions see their revenue streams threatened, they sometimes act in ways that protect their pocketbooks but hurt their patients. In the early 1900s in New York, Mary Mallon, an immigrant from County Tyrone, Ireland, later to be known as Typhoid Mary, infected dozens of people with typhoid fever, several of whom died. Though she was herself healthy, she passed the infection along in the course of her work as a cook for wealthy families, often through her favorite dish of iced peaches. |
