John Abramson是一位有著high profile的美國醫生,現任職於哈佛醫學院。他專門花了幾年的時間,做了大量艱辛的調查向人們揭示:製藥公司是怎樣向醫生行銷他們的藥品;怎樣隱瞞或downplay這些藥物的致命副作用;怎樣擴大市場說服健康的人也去服藥等等。
作為消費者,你有權和應該知道:你的錢都花到哪去了?你到底吃了有什麽樣副作用的藥?當你患了慢性病、富貴病時,吃藥是最佳選擇嗎?吃這些藥會像廣告上說的那樣讓病情得到控製或者好轉嗎?在花錢埋頭吃藥的時候,你錯失了什麽良機?製藥公司是以公眾的健康為重還是他們的經濟利益永遠至上?
在此引用網友probiotic的精彩發言:急症救命藥物, 毒性也必須承受! 問題是, 由現代生活方式所致的慢性病, 病人埋頭吃藥的話, 說是"控製", 其實是掩蓋了病情, 掩蓋了疾病的結果 (高血糖,高血壓,高膽固醇,其它高XXX), 而病人誤以為已經得到了有效的治療! 客觀事實是, 埋頭吃藥不但無用或者用處不大, 而且嚴重誤導病人, 使病人不去努力解決引起這些疾病的深層病因, 如戒煙少酒, 健康飲食, 多體力活動等等!
為了對自己的健康和生命負責,吃藥一定要吃得慎重、吃得明明白白。請聽這位誠實、正直、良知尚存的醫生對你說。

他的著述Overdosed America簡介:Using the examples of Vioxx, Celebrex, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, and anti-depressants, Overdosed America shows that at the heart of the current crisis in American medicine lies the commercialization of medical knowledge itself.
Drawing on his background in statistics, epidemiology, and health policy, John Abramson, M.D., reveals the ways in which the drug companies have misrepresented statistical evidence, misled doctors, and compromised our health. The good news is that the best scientific evidence shows that reclaiming responsibility for your own health is often far more effective than taking the latest blockbuster drug.
You—and your doctor—will be stunned by this unflinching exposé of American medicine.
