Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 SKEWED by Martin J Walker Now available as an ebook download. see: www.truthcampaign.ukf.net/articles/martinwalker/skewed.html Martin J Walker's latest stunning exposé of corporate manipulation within orthodox medicine. 'Walker's research, integrity and diligence sets a standard that very few journalists ever achieve.' - Ivan Fraser Now available for the first time as an e-book Skewed: Psychiatric hegemony and the manufacture of mental illness in Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Gulf War Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is a detailed investigation in to the psychiatric diagnosis of a range of illnesses which some have suggested are actually caused by chemicals. The book traces the chemical companies' arguments against their products causing illnesses and it tracks the growth of the theory promoted by them that individuals who report symptoms of chemically induced ill health have personality disorders. the book asks how psychiatric theories of 'unexplained illness' have managed to gain ascendancy and shape the diagnosis, research funding and public perception of these illnesses in Britain. Skewed is an essential text that needs to be available to everyone who goes to college with the ideal in their head that they want to work in the chemical industry or practice medicine. It also needs to be in every major bookstore, and the author needs to appear on tv, radio and in print telling his story. For too long industry and its apologists have dominated the media with their cynicism and their lies. Martin Walker's book reveals only one aspect of this story. It is a not a book about science nor even a book about the illnesses involved. It is a book about the extent industry will go to protect its interests. We need more writers doing investigations like Martin Walker to make industry accountable for their actions, and to make them pay, as individuals, for these actions. Robert Allen, Blue __________________ The message of this important book is compelling and is not heeded at our peril. Dr Derek Pheby. Positive Health Magazine __________________ The UK version of Osler's Web. This book is a must have. It will absolutely blow your mind and make you furious that people aren't forced to declare their competing interests when they state their `opinions' You'll never look at certain ME/CFIDS `advocates' the same way again. Jodi Bassett The best five books on ME. http://www.ahummingbirdsguide.com/bookreviews.htm ___________________ The book is well researched, organised, written and easy to understand. Paul Davis, RiME ____________________ This is an overdue expose of the fraudulent practices which have blighted the lives of, and caused inexcusable distress to, some very ill people. I personally endorse your book and see it as a vital weapon in our struggle to achieve a just outcome of treatment for those who suffer from this illness in Wales. Ian McDonald, Chair of WAMES ____________________ At last, someone with the guts to spell out clearly who has done what to whom, why and when. An ME sufferer. ____________________ I think that Martin Walker has presented a pretty convincing case that complaints such as MCS/GWS/ME/CFS are not being properly investigated because of a distortion in the accepted practice of scientific research that is propagated by psychiatrists with an axe to grind, supported by organisations that are funding them to grind it.
