Dear E-druggers,
Recently Dr. Milton Silverman died. For those who dont know Milt. He
was author, coauthor or editor of over twenty books including 'Magic
in a Bottle', 'Pills, Profits, and Politics: the drugging of America',
'Prescriptions for Death: the drugging of the third world', and 'Bad
Medicine: the prescription drug industry in the third world'. Dr.
Silverman was a source of inspiration for many in developing
countries. Personally, I changed the course of my life after reading
his book 'Prescriptions for Death' that exposed the fraudulent
practices of the international pharmaceutical industry in the third
world.
According to Dr. Philip R. Lee (with whom I spoke to yesterday), a
memorial service for Milt has been planned in California in June.
Anybody interested to know more should send me an email (ra@usp.org)
and I will let you know as and when details are available. Thanks.
