This book was recommended to me by my mother, who researches everything thoroughly. I take various medications for various conditions and had no idea what other effects they were having on me until I read this book. What an eye-opener! Anyone who has been prescribed medications should review the information Dr. Cass has given. It will be a smoother ride to the management of and recovery from their illnesses.
