Or could some of the treatments you think are healing you actually be harming you?Medicine has significantly advanced in the last few decades.

In this game-changing book, infectious-disease expert and Rotavirus vaccine inventor Dr Offit highlights fifteen common medical interventions still recommended and practised by medical professionals, despite clear evidence that they are harmful – including the treatment of acid reflux in babies and the reliance on heart stents and knee surgery.By presenting medical alternatives, Overkill gives patients invaluable information to help them ask their doctors better questions and to advocate for their own health.
