Default Incurable Me: Why the Best Medical Research Does Not Make It into Clinical Practice

This book on sale at Amazon right now...

The reviews are glowing, including people who have used his protocols with good results.

Quote:
In Incurable Me, a maverick physician brings transparency to some of medicine’s most closely guarded secrets. As he establishes a link between commerce and medical research, K. P. Stoller also explains how to treat some of the most worrisome diseases and conditions afflicting humans today—including Lyme disease, brain trauma, dementia, and autism.

Dr. Stoller maintains that the best evidence in medical research is not incorporated into clinical practice unless the medical cartel has the potential to make large amounts of money promoting the results of the research. Stoller takes his provocative argument a step further, maintaining that if specific research conflicts with a powerful entity’s financial interests, the likely result will be an effort to suppress or distort the results. Stoller cites numerous examples, including corporate influence on GMO labeling and public health.

Stoller also explores how “revolving-door-employment” between the Centers for Disease Control and large pharmaceutical companies can affect research results—as well as our health. Written in an accessible style that is thoroughly appropriate for a lay audience, Incurable Me is a must-read for anyone interested in the state of modern medicine.


Just got it, will update as I go along. While most lay people will scoff at the very premise, we know better, do we not?

On the GMO labelling thing--I don't think GMO labelling would necessarily keep me from buying something, but at the same time I think the consumer has the right to information about these things so they can make their own decisions, even when I think they're wrong.

I agree. For me, the thing about GMO is that so much of the produce in the supermarket tastes bad compared to what I get grown from heirloom seeds and/or organically. This is partly a genetic change; they grow tomatoes that ship well, not taste good.

But what nutrients are missing? Because we are set up to enjoy our food, in its natural state, according to how much good it is doing our body. Processed food becomes attractive by manipulating these -- instincts? -- to our detriment.

That's where the GMO issue is for me. They don't know what they don't know.

Sure. And I wouldn't include that as a "wrong" reason for avoiding GMO's. Probably the worst I've seen is somebody worrying about GMO corn being used to produce the glucose that's used to make splenda. I draw the line at worrying about genetically modified refined sugars, if somebody wants to be concerned about splenda, there are much better reasons.

Actually, the biggest concern I have about genetic manipulation is how they engineer the crops to resist RoundUp (which is based on Agent Orange) and then drench the crops with it right up to harvest.

To employ some serious New York sarcasm, how can anything go wrong with that?

Wow, this doctor hits the ground running. The first chapter is all about how modern medicine was a creation of the Rockefeller Foundation; with good intentions (much like the food pyramid) but with much too much input from the patent medicines of the day, who were contributing money.

As always, profit messes up good science. He also makes the point of how our water is flouridated from China; and it is contaminated with heavy metals. And that combining such makes this unholy alloy more dangerous than any of them alone.

A great book to read before Undoctored, I think.
