I read this book a couple of years ago, and I'm still thinking about it. To be forthcoming, the author is a friend. As a quick synopsis, the title says it all. Mark looks at many healthcare issues from the viewpoint of money spent on them and alternative explanations. If you want to learn about German New Medicine, this is a great resource. The following is an abridged review I wrote on Goodreads:
I thought the book was too nice. The author attempted to shed a good light on all the organizations that profess to work toward better health. The data presented gave a different story. The data and track record showed that these organizations dedicated to health, are nothing more than money laundering organizations at worst, and at best, subsidy for industry and government charity for the ultra rich. I understand the desire to act fairly and without blatant accusation, but over the past hundred years, allopathic medicine has made little to no progress in the understanding of even the most basic of health issues.
The book discusses German New Medicine extensively, along with other health viewpoints. I think it is interesting how much the mind controls health. That seems like a dumb statement, but the book showed clearly how we need to start trusting our body's responses and reactions to things. We're so addicted to blaming everything on cancer, viruses, bacteria, germs and evil critters, that we rarely consider that the body might just be performing a necessary action to restore health or prepare for a trauma, or respond to it. In other words, trust our body. It's way smarter than we are.
I loved the book. Everyone should read it.
