The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical… par Eileen Welsome
fascinating and frightening.
I quit reading in the first chapter after the author spat out two blatant falsehoods in a row. Namely that sleeping on cold ground *causes* rheumatism and that ones muscles will shorten as a result of riding a horse. Her tendency to invent dialog and thoughts of individuals from general sources and inferences was already annoying and repeating incorrect folk wisdom as matters of fact was to much.
