review 1: In an easy to read, anecdotal account, Thomas Goetz explains how and why Americans need shift their health care focus from doctor-driven to patient-driven. Goetz aptly discusses monitoring health via a range of collaborative health tools, screening techniques and IPhone applications. While providing ample data and scientific studies, Goetz does not gear his book to those with Phd's in Public Health or to those wanting a no brainer introduction. Rather, his writings provide an engaging thought-provoking approach to healthcare.
review 2: Nothing new: don't smoke, watch your diet, take the right prescriptions .... "This book focuses on pharmaceuticals, mostly, and early screening and testing. Promotes the AMA and FDA which do not have the public's well being at... more stake; they're motivated by politics and money - always follow the money trail. They want you to forget all those nasty side effects of the meds they're pushing; afterall, they've got another ten meds for those that you can pay for for the rest of your life. They're about money, not health. Goetz should have put his energy into looking at the GMO and processed foods and chemically hazardous water that are really killing people. 50% of cancer patients are smokers, 50% are not. Clearly, it's something besides the cigarettes. When Goetz digs a bit further and looks at the real cause of illness and the real natural cures, I'm sure he'll write one heck of a book. This book is a mouth piece for the deceptive and duplicitous big pharma and big med industries. less
