Is lowering your temperature when you have a fever helpful? Do you
really need to finish every course of antibiotics? Or could some of
the treatments you think are healing you actually be harming you?
Medicine has significantly advanced in the last few decades. But
while we have learned a lot, we still rely on medical interventions
that are vastly out of date and can adversely affect our health. In
this game-changing book, infectious-disease expert and Rotavirus
vaccine inventor Dr Offit highlights fifteen common medical
interventions still recommended and practised by medical
professionals, despite clear evidence that they are harmful -
including the treatment of acid reflux in babies and the reliance
on heart stents and knee surgery. By presenting medical
alternatives, Overkill gives patients invaluable information to
help them ask their doctors better questions and to advocate for
their own health.
