Board-certified physician Joseph G. Jacko, MD, pulls back the curtain on the medical industry in his provocative book, Bamboozled, Duped, and Hoodwinked: Keys to Escaping Tricks, Deceptions, Half-Truths of the Medical Industry

Drawing from more than four decades of medical experience, Dr. Jacko reveals how the pharmaceutical industry and corporate interests have gained control over modern medicine-from medical education to scientific publications-leaving patients with only partial truths when it comes to their health.

“Medicine has become less personable and more paternalistic,” says Dr. Jacko.“Patients are not being told the full story. They need to take ownership of their health, look beyond the confines of traditional insurance-based medicine, and question the information they receive.”

Far from being a purely scientific discipline, Dr. Jacko explains, medicine often fails to address the lifestyle factors-nutrition, exercise, and hormone balance-that truly impact longevity and quality of life. His book arms readers with critical insights, including his 40 Not So Wacko Jacko Rules of Medicine, to help them make better-informed decisions about their health care.
