INTRODUCTION BY DR. JULIAN WHITAKER
Here's what Julian Whitaker, M.D., prominent leader in alternative medicine, says about this book:
"Daniel Haley has written a vel}' important book about the medical profession, detailing the struggles
between good and evil as no one ever has before. Incredible as these stories are, they are true!"
The late Ruth Montgomery, best-selling author and famed former journalist said about the book:
·~hair-raising account of how the U.S. Government is blocking promising health improvements, including
cancer cures, that are in competition with our giant pharmaceutical companies. Every American citizen
should be concerned. A frightening and welt-researched scenario on the FDA and its policies of suppression.
It seems unbelievable that this is happening in America!"
Berkley Bedell, former Congressman who originated the idea for the Office of Alternative Medicine
(OAM) says:
'This book could only have been written by someone with political experience. Former New York State
Assemblyman Daniel Haley documents the suppression of new medical treatments if these come from
other than conventional sources. I spent 12 years in Congress. Too often, we did not have sufficient facts
to make the right decisions, and certainly not the facts which this book clearly points out."
David Garth, famed New York City political consultant, says:
"For the 25 years I've known Dan Haley, from his days as a trail-blazing N. Y.S. Assemblyman, he has
always been on the cutting edge of dreams, striving to make important new things happen. I strongly
recommend this book."
Attorney James Turner, Chair of Citizens for Health, says:
"Money, Power, and the betrayal of the Hippocratic Oath ("First, Do No Harm'J could be the subtitle of this
book, now that FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs are one of the top causes of death in the U.S. Laws
need to be changed to put an end to this disaster. This book is a powerful wake-up call for all Americans."
ISBN 0-9701150-0-8 "Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful citizens can
78~J7l 115~1, 52495 change the world. Indeed, it's
the only thing that ever has!"
- Margaret Mead
