Doctors are more harmful than germs : how surgery can be hazardous to your health--and what to do about it / Harvey Bigelsen with Lisa Haller.
Bigelsen shows that common medical practices are actually the cause of many chronic, long-term health problems. Instead of looking at a sick person as a set of symptoms and an illness as an isolated events, we must institute a new paradigm that treats each patient as an individual and searches for root causes in the whole, living human body.
