"This is a must read book if you care about your health." Jeff Kanter, Co-Founder HealthExcellencePlus.com The 1962 Amendments to the Food & Drug Act have probably shaved at least 5 years off of your lifespan without making drugs safer and more effective. They shifted our medical paradigm from inexpensive prevention to costly treatment, censored life-saving nutritional approaches to disease, added a decade to the time it takes to get a new drug from the lab bench to market place, destroyed over half of our medical/pharmaceutical/nutritional innovations, and caused the prices of drugs to soar without improving safety or effectiveness. Find out how to reclaim our Golden Age of Health. The life you save may be your own "Death by Regulation is one of the most important books of the 21st Century. The tragic impact of FDA regulations makes this a cause of life and death to all of us."
