With "Undoctored," A Physician Stokes the Fire of Patient Empowerment

Saturday, 17 March 2018 22:35By Kristen Schepker, Assistant Editor

In his latest book, William Davis, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly, urges Americans to limit their use of the conventional profit-driven medical system, instead taking most health care needs into their own hands.

UndoctoredDavis's new exposé, Undoctored: Why Health Care Has Failed You and How You Can Become Smarter Than Your Doctor, presents a compelling case against hospitals that treat patients as money-making pawns, conventional doctors who dispense questionable advice, and pharmaceutical companies that view human illnesses as business opportunities. Davis argues that because our health care system operates as a revenue-generating industry, Americans face unnecessary daily struggles with ballooning medical costs, unsatisfactory treatment outcomes, and overwhelming frustration towards institutions that aim to address illness, but rarely engender full health and wellness.
