Global Health

A few months before the virus slammed the world, global public health experts declared the United States the most prepared for a possible pandemic. Instead, we watched as the disease killed half a million Americans. A stunned nation has been too busy grieving and doing damage control to ask why, or to comprehend just how much of the blundering and chaos of the pandemic response was either deliberate or entirely predictable. New York Times best-selling author Nina Burleigh weaves together the key narrative strands to create an uncompromising and highly informed expose.

In this book, you’ll discover the eight dimensions of total “wellness”. Jeremy calls them “The Wellness 8”. Wellness is more than just an absence of physical ailments. We can be physically healthy and still not be “well”. If we are emotionally, socially, or spiritually sick, we are not “well”. When people ask how we are doing, we want to be able to say, “I’m well!” - and mean it in every way. We want to be emotionally, financially, intellectually, socially, and spiritually well, in addition to being physically well.

The explosion of Internet commerce, coupled with globalization and increased pharmaceutical use, has led to an unprecedented vulnerability in the US drug supply. Today, an estimated 80 percent of our drugs are manufactured overseas, mostly in India and China. Every link along this supply chain offers an opportunity for counterfeiters, and increasingly, they are breaking in. Even when the US system works, consumers are increasingly circumventing the safeguards. Skyrocketing health care costs in the US have forced more Americans to become "medical tourists" seeking drugs, life-saving treatments, and transplants abroad, sometimes in countries with rampant counterfeit drug problems and no FDA. Bitter Pills will heighten the public's awareness about counterfeit drugs, critically examine possible solutions, and help people protect themselves.

En 1914, Sigmund Freud introdujo por primera vez la idea de un trastorno narcisista, pero ese concepto no se hizo oficial hasta hace aproximadamente 50 años.
