Conventional health care is no longer working in your favor—but thankfully, Dr. Davis is.

In his New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly, Dr. William Davis changed the lives of millions of people by teaching them to remove grains from their diets to reverse years of chronic health damage. In Undoctored, he goes beyond cutting grains to help you take charge of your own health. This groundbreaking exposé reveals how millions of people are given dietary recommendations crafted by big business, are prescribed unnecessary medications, and undergo unwarranted procedures to feed revenue-hungry healthcare systems.
With Undoctored, the code to health care has been cracked—Dr. Davis will help you create a comprehensive program to reduce, reverse, and cure hundreds of common health conditions and break your dependence on prescription drugs. By applying simple strategies while harnessing the collective wisdom of new online technologies, you can break free of a healthcare industry that puts profits over health.
Undoctored is the spark of a new movement in health that places the individual, not the doctor, at the center. His plan contains features like:
• A step-by-step guide to eliminating prescription medications
• Tips on how to distinguish good medical advice from bad
• 42 recipes to guide you through the revolutionary 6-week program

Undoctored gives you all the tools you need to manage your own health and sidestep the misguided motives of a profit-driven medical system.

      Davis (Wheat Belly) presents a plan for people to take control of their well-being. He describes the difficulty that patients face in attempting to discern how to best manage their health--due, in large part, to our grossly expensive, inefficient, and ineffective medical-industrial complex, which places profit over patient care in the guise of "benevolent healers doing good." He also calls out paternalistic "I know what's best for you" doctors who benefit monetarily from the procedures they perform, and makes suggestions for how to communicate with physicians and other practitioners. His plan is based on community and collaboration--using crowdsourcing to become informed and make decisions about health. Davis recommends a list of discussion forums and support groups, including two of his own websites. He advocates a low-carb diet, specific supplements and exercise, and includes recipes. Two of the author's claims are questionable: that technology provides open access to all medical knowledge, and that raw information plus crowdsourcing will lead to positive health outcomes for individuals (see the antivaccine movement). VERDICT Fans of Davis's previous work and those who feel that the medical establishment has failed them will appreciate this book.--Rachel Owens, Daytona State Coll. Lib., FL
