Dangerous Legal Drugs

A friend of mine recommended this book to me, otherwise I probably would have never picked it up because the cover isn't appealing to me. But I'm really glad I read it. The author gives numerous specific medications and their dangers. I was stunned to read about tagamet, a prescription drug that is used for ulcers and other stomach problems. I personally took it for about a year when I was facing some personal difficulties which caused me to have a very delicate stomach. He tells the story of a man who was taking it that had permanent health problems from the side effects. Apparently, tagamet prevents the body from excreting or removing some toxins. The man in the story became poisoned after mowing his lawn by the chemicals that had been applied to his grass. The story was even reported in the Wall Street Journal, but when you look at the side effects in the PDR for tagamet, all it says is: breasts may develop in men, and headaches. Anyone who is interested in natural health should have this book in their collection.
