The Primal Prescription
The Primal Prescription offers a shocking, disturbing, and ultimately enlightening view into America’s health care system. The authors aim to equip readers with the background, the comprehension, and the tools needed to navigate our increasingly precarious medical system. You’ll discover the real history of what went wrong with U.S. health care and insurance, and why current efforts to clean up the mess are only making things worse. Whether you’re currently tangled in America’s broken health care system or simply trying to avoid its clutches, The Primal Prescription is a must-have resource for taking your health into your own hands.
In Primal Prescription, authors Doug McGuff, MD and Robert P. Murphy, PhD, combine their expertise in economics and medicine to offer a shocking, disturbing, and ultimately enlightening view into America’s health care system.
This book equips you with both the knowledge to understand the health care conundrum and the tools for navigating your way of it.
McGuff and Murphy offer an evidence-based “game plan” for taking control of your own medical care, protecting yourself and your loved ones regardless of what the future holds for the rest of the nation.
It fills in the medical gaps left by The Primal Blueprint, and in so doing, completes the vision the authors set into motion years ago.
