This book looks at how hospital care got on the wrong track, from historical and economic perspectives. It then offers suggestions for minimizing the risks of a hospital stay and ways to improve your on experience. Good nutrition is the key - to boost your immune system, speed recovery from illness, and reduce your need for pharmaceuticals.

This book is about diseases treatable with vitamins. It is also about any number of other ways in which you can, as I say, "fire your doctor."

I guarantee that heads will be nodding long before you finish with the B complex.....Andrew Saul, Ph.D., is contributing editor for the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine.
