"This is a must read book if you care about your health." Jeff Kanter, Co-Founder HealthExcellencePlus.com The 1962 Amendments to the Food & Drug Act have probably shaved at least 5 years off of your lifespan without making drugs safer and more effective. They shifted our medical paradigm from inexpensive prevention to costly treatment, censored life-saving nutritional approaches to disease, added a decade to the time it takes to get a new drug from the lab bench to market place, destroyed over half of our medical/pharmaceutical/nutritional innovations, and caused the prices of drugs to soar without improving safety or effectiveness. Find out how to reclaim our Golden Age of Health. The life you save may be your own Dr. Mary J. Ruwart is a biomedical researcher and ethicist. She holds a BS in biochemistry (1970), and a PhD in biophysics (1974) from Michigan State University. After 2 and a half years on the faculty of the Department of Surgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Ruwart spent 19 years as a pharmaceutical research scientist for the Upjohn Company. She currently chairs an IRB (Institutional Review Board), consults with nutraceutical companies, and has been an expert witness against the FDA. "Death by Regulation is one of the most important books of the 21st Century. The tragic impact of FDA regulations makes this a cause of life and death to all of us." Ken Schoolland, Associate Professor of Economics at Hawaii Pacific University Dr. Ruwart's rigorous and hard-hitting analysis is a shocking eye opener and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why medical progress is so painfully slow in the United States. Kyle Varner, MD, Medical Director, Elite Locum Tenens LLC, Spokane, Washington "Death by Regulation is undoubtedly the most insightful and comprehensive analysis of the unintended consequences-and mind-numbing costs in terms of shortened lives and suffering-of the 1962 legislation." Bartley Madden, author of Free to Choose Medicine.
