DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif., Sept. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Beware the pitfalls of the American medical care system." This is the premise of Eric and Glenna Edney's contentious book, Surviving Without Your MD, published through Xlibris. The Edneys reveal a persuasive body of evidence showing why the American medical care system has launched America as "the sickest country in the world," even as they tell the story of Eric's survival of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) without the help of a medical doctor.
When Eric Edney was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), his doctors had pronounced without the slightest doubt that he had only a few measly months to live. Eighteen years later and definitely still kicking, Edney, together and his wife Glenna, fulfills the long-itching desire to publish everything that they have learned about the entire American medical care system, ever since that first diagnosis.
In Surviving Without Your MD, the Edneys tell there is a problem with the American medical care system and the way it is addressing disease today. In fact, they say it is the problem. Big pharmaceutical companies are holding the entire American medical care system in a death grip, staunchly advocating a broad spectrum of drugs that either do not cure or do not address the cause. In addition, America's community of medical doctors is caught in that chokehold -- if they are not totally in league with "Big Pharma".
Along this incredible claim, the Edneys tell the story of how Eric survived his terminal illness, which did not have any known cure or treatment, as advised by the doctors. If Eric and Glenna had believed those doctors, might Eric still be around eighteen years later? Resolute in their aim to inform the American nation and the world, Eric and Glenna fearlessly expose the potentially terminal pitfalls of getting sick in the "sickest country in the world".
Through Surviving Without Your MD, the Edneys show what American citizens can do to reverse the "medical death grip" or -- at the very, very least -- steer clear of the apparent immense profiteering going on behind the veneer of offering a cure and promoting health.
