"[This book] could not be more timely or important." -Library
Journal "An eye opener, both for caregivers, and for baby boomers
approaching older age." --Boston.com
"In our pursuit of healing, doctors sometimes overlook the
fundamental rule to 'first do no harm.' Armon Neel's book is an
important reminder - for doctors and patients alike - that
medications can be a double edged sword. We may be swinging at the
disease but we can accidentally slash the patient along the way."
-Lisa Sanders, M.D., author of Every Patient Tells a Story
"It's becoming increasingly clear that medical historians will
judge the last 50 years as the 'dark age of drug therapy.' Though
there are many advances in modern pharmacy, the truth is that many
drugs produce a desired effect only to create many more that are
unwanted. Armon Neel's book provides concrete evidence that the
problems with many prescription medications are known today.
Fortunately, he also provides some practical guidance to help
navigate the land mines of drug therapy." --Michael T. Murray,
N.D., author of What the Drug Companies Won't Tell You and Your
Doctor Doesn't Know
"[Armon Neel's] expertise in the pharmaceutical management of
patients is unparalleled." -James Gore, MD, and George Capo, DO
"Armon Neel literally saved my life. I was bedridden because I was
being overprescribed medications by my doctor. But in a few short
weeks on Dr. Neel's 'new' regimen, I was back to my old self."
-Carla Moore "My family and I appreciate your help for our mother.
I took down everything you told me concerning her medications and
typed it up for the doctor. He followed everything you advised and
my mother came out of renal failure." -Marilyn Lipper "In my 32
years as a practicing geriatrician, I have not met a healthcare
professional who better understands the pathophysiological
principles behind the use of medications for the elderly." --Zaheer
Khan, MD, MRCP, founder and president of the Center for Aging,
Huntsville, AL "Armon Neel is a pioneer in the field of geriatric
drug therapy and has a wealth of experience." --Thomas R. Clark,
RPh, MHS, CGP, Executive Director of the Commission for
Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy, Alexandria, VA "After seeing
many doctors over the years, I had hit rock bottom. Then I found
Armon Neel, and within six months, I was a new person." --Diane
Marsh, Williamson, GA
"If anything can make you hoist yourself out of that beach chair
and go find a pen, this is the book that will do it." --New York
Times
