In 1996 Maggie Tuttle managed to come off HRT. Coping with adverse

reactions, she placed an ad in a newspaper asking if anyone else was

having a similar experience. Six years later when Maggie folded the

Menopausal Helpline, she had received over 10,000 letters. Licensed to

Kill and Maim, gives a voice to the women who wrote to her, while

investigating the history and marketing of HRT. The book asks

questions about a health care system in which pharmaceutical companies

first create illnesses, then create drugs to `cure' them.

 

 

 

I have never been a fan of HRT for various reasons. Reading through

Martin Walker's well researched, clearly documented and quite

terrifying book has confirmed to me that HRT is one of the great

mistakes of the 20th and 21st centuries and should be consigned to the

history books as soon as possible! Jenny Seagrove actress and campaigner

 

 

 

A Japanese proverb says " The truth is always disturbing. " Martin

Walker is one of those rare individuals who is willing to dig deeply

into the illusion, insult and inhumanity that is done under the name

of science and medicine. Motives usually have more to do with money,

power and control than the relief of suffering. His books are always

shocking but far closer to the truth than you are likely to find

elsewhere. Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute for Optimum

Nutrition.

Maggie Tuttle is a life time campaigner, speaking out for women in

difficulties. For ten years she has helped women suffering adverse

reactions to HRT, standing up to pharmaceutical companies, company

loyal doctors and sometimes an indifferent media. Her tireless support

for women affected by HRT has been at considerable cost to her self,

both financially and emotionally.

 

 

 

Martin Walker is a campaigner and writer. HRT, Licensed to Kill and

Maim is his ninth book. His other books include, with Geoff Coggan,

Frightened for My Life: An account of deaths in British Prisons

(1982), With Extreme Prejudice: An Investigation in Police Vigilantism

in Manchester (1986) and Dirty Medicine: Science, Big Business and the

assault on Natural Health Care (1993).
