When it comes to drug safety, Big Pharma holds all the power, and it’s time for patients to take it back. Healthcare in North America is riddled with myths about prescription drugs. We are told that if a medication isn’t safe, the government would never let it on the market and that doctors would never prescribe a drug that isn’t proven effective. But who is in control of this narrative, and do they always have the best interests of patients in mind? In an in-depth study of the history and structure of the pharmaceutical industry, drug safety advocate Terence Young explores how we ended up in a scenario where those with the most to gain financially are also those who wield all the power — and withhold all the knowledge. Forbidden Knowledge reveals the truths you need to know about prescription drugs. It empowers patients to partner with their doctor to talk openly and plainly about prescription drugs to avoid adverse drug reactions. This is your survival guide to Big Pharma.
