Summary

For the past 21 years, Life Extension magazine has compiled evidence indicating that conventional medicine is the leading cause of death in our country-and the US Food and Drug Administration is largely responsible. They deny the introduction of life-saving therapies, cause drug prices to be beyond the means of most Americans, approve lethal prescription drugs that kill, censor scientific and medical information that would let consumers protect their health, and actively mislead the public.
