{"product_id":"pharmageddon-9780520270985","title":"Pharmageddon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis searing indictment  David Healys most comprehensive and forceful argument against the pharmaceuticalization of medicine  tackles problems in health care that are leading to a growing number of deaths and disabilities. Healy  who was the first to draw attention to the now well-publicized suicide-inducing side effects of many anti-depressants  attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product rather than process patents on drugs  the classification of certain drugs as prescription-only  and industry-controlled drug trials. These developments have tied the survival of pharmaceutical companies to the development of blockbuster drugs  so that they must overhype benefits and deny real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have basically ended the possibility of universal health care in the United States and elsewhere around the world. He concludes with suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based medical system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646891221045,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520270983","price":34.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520270985.jpg?v=1781680367","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/pharmageddon-9780520270985","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
