Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing That Works
by
Andrew Saul
Don't bother looking in the history books for what has killed the most Americans. Look instead at your dinner table. We eat too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right foods.

I am not as pessimistic towards the medical industry as the author. He doesn't claim to be medically trained, but does cite journals/publications for further research regarding your condition.
