Sex, Lies, and Pharmaceuticals"This book is a cautionary tale...the authors provide important details that connect the players.

Sex, Lies, and Pharmaceuticals“This book tells the truth about how Big Pharma profits from so-called FSD (female sexual dysfunction). It’s an eye-opener."

Sex, Lies, and Pharmaceuticals"In a way disturbingly reminiscent of the medicalization of mental health, the over diagnosis of female sexual dysfunction has been spurred by aggressive marketing campaigns promoting the quick fix of pricey patches and pills.

The authors encourage us to remain sceptical." Waterloo Region Record, Jan 14, 2011 Read more >>Read more about Sex, Lies, and Pharmaceuticals >> |
