I have just republished my book Betrayal of Trust – which was first published in 1994. Among many other things, the book explains why doctors do more harm than good, why four out of ten patients given drugs suffer side effects and why one in six hospital patients have been made ill by doctors. The book also reports that 85% of medical procedures are a gamble and that only 1% of journal articles are scientifically sound. And the book names 50 drugs which cause serious health problems in animals but which doctors happily prescribe for humans (proving that animal experiments are ignored by drug companies and doctors and are entirely useless). Below is the preface which I wrote especially for the new edition of this book.
Preface to the 2023 edition
My first book, The Medicine Men, grew out of articles which I wrote for the Daily Telegraph in the early 1970s and described the unhealthy relationship which existed then (and still exists) between the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry. Two years later I followed The Medicine Men with a second book called Paper Doctors in which I described how the medical research industry had sold out to the drug industry and was betraying patients.
Both those books were widely praised in the national press, receiving fulsome reviews in most major newspapers and magazines. I continued the theme with other books, notably with The Health Scandal which was published in 1988.
Betrayal of Trust, grew out of a small book entitled Why doctors do more harm than good which was published in 1993. I don’t have a copy of that small book in my possession (it was self-published and I printed over 10,000 copies) and there don’t seem to be any for sale on the internet.
I wrote Betrayal of Trust without a contract and sent it off to my literary agent and thence to a number of publishers who had published my earlier books. None of them would touch it for legal reasons. In other words they were all terrified that if they had it printed they might receive one or more lawsuits for libel. Even when I offered to indemnify them they were still not prepared to take the risk. And so I published it myself. It was the first non-fiction book that I published and it did far better than I expected. To my astonishment the first print run of 10,000 hard back copies sold out quite quickly and was followed with another printing of the hardback edition and then a large paperback edition. For a privately published non-fiction book with a very specialist market these were astonishing figures and, I think, just went to show just how many people wanted to understand the extent of the corruption within the medical profession.
Betrayal of Trust has been out of print for well over a quarter of a century and I decided that it was time to bring it back to life. I haven’t changed a word because I think it still stands as a valuable record of how medicine has deteriorated under the control of the pharmaceutical industry.
The public trust doctors. But the public has been betrayed. Doctors trust drug companies. But that trust has also been betrayed.
Betrayal of Trust showed just how corrupt the medical establishment and the drug industry had become by the mid 1990s. Anyone who read ‘Betrayal of Trust’ in 1994 would have known how bad things were and how patients were being abused both by the profession and the drug industry. Medicine in the 1990s was all about money.
The sad thing is that the corruption has got worse, rather than better. Today, everything is worse than it was in the 1990s. And those who should have done something to end the corruption have done nothing to stop it. Doctors, politicians, academics and journalists should all hang their heads in shame.
The only thing that has changed is that today I am lied about, demonised and attacked even more than I was a quarter of a century ago. No one in authority wants the truth to be exposed.
Oh, and one other thing. You can rest assured that everything in this book is absolutely true. Despite the revelations in Betrayal of Trust I was never sued by any of the companies or individuals mentioned in the book. And the one thing we can be sure of is that if there had been just one error anywhere in this book my letter box would have been filled with writs.
I have managed to obtain an application form for those who would like to work for the BBC. As you might expect the form is very simple – all you have to do is to read the questions and decide whether your answer is YES or NO. Add up the number of times you answer YES.
Do you ride a bicycle and have a camera fitted to your helmet?
Are you a communist?
Have you had at least three covid-19 jabs?
Are you a good liar?
Would you describe yourself as either illiterate or innumerate or both? (If you have difficulties with the question just answer YES.)
Is it your ambition to hobnob with famous people in Davos and Wimbledon in the same year?
Do you love the European Union?
Were you devastated by the result of the Brexit vote?
Do people who know you well describe you as a snotty bugger with no sense of humour?
Do you spend at least four hours a week arranging your recycling?
Do you believe that the earth is flat and that if you travel too far you will fall off the edge?
Would you betray friends and family for a pat on the head from the Director General and/or Gary Lineker?
Has anyone ever complained that you are a sex pest?
Would you describe BBC superstars Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile as heroes?
Do you believe that it is important to suppress truths if they might upset very powerful people?
Do you think Bill Gates is a hero?
Is your IQ under 100?
Do you think you are better than ordinary people?
If you saw someone parking illegally would you telephone the police straight away?
Do you think old people are a nuisance especially if they are white and English?
Now add up all the times you’ve answered YES.
If you have answered YES to all the questions you would make a wonderful BBC employee and you can count on being accepted straight away. Just write to the Director General and tell him when you can start.
If you answered NO to ANY of the questions please look carefully at your answers and try to work out how you can improve your attitude and suitability for a career with the BBC.
Coming to America! About 100 years ago hospitals had a solarium on the top floor so the patients got their Vitamin D daily and had peace and quiet! Today, they don't test for Vitamin D deficiency because they would leave the hospital earlier. Not good for business! VA descovered this and deep six'd the study that would improve the health of the veterans! If you want to see the VA study, send me your email tbran10@hotmail.com. Can't figure out how to add it to my comment.
Baylor Scott & White, the largest healthcare system in Texas, has a non-profit business model so they tend to do the opposite. They can't wait to shove patients out the door. I have seen this with family members. They were just as guilty, however, of all the lying psyop activity during the alleged pandemic. Claiming their ICU's were full when they weren't and all the rest. They even tried to claim that the flagship children's hospital in Temple was overrun. I never believed one word of it. They were trying to use these lies as a wedge to increase vax uptake and it largely didn't work here. More than a third of adults here never took these shots.
Edwin, Texans, as a whole, are some of the best and most sensible people on the planet. Not that I'm biased or anything being about an 8th generation Texan! This is why all the leftists were chased out of statewide government here more than 30 years ago. All they can do is sit on the sidelines and watch here. They have no place at the table that means anything or has any power. I wouldn't live anywhere else. We only had five weeks of lock downs here in March and April of 2020 before the State decided it was all bullshit and ended it. There have been none since so it didn't wipe out our economy and destroy all the small businesses. This is why our GDP is still bigger than most countries in the world.
I visited your lovely state a few years ago; I had some family there. They lived near Austin. Austin WAS a really nice place; though it seemed that a lot of 'lefties' were trying their best to turn not only Austin, but the entire state, blue.
I'm happy to know that the leftists were run out of gov't long ago; I hope they are NEVER allowed back in. It made me sick to my stomach to see videos of areas of Austin on the news a while back; with the homeless people utterly decimating a park there. Sad. Very sad.
Cammie, Austin has always been a rule onto itself. It is the only sapphire blue county in an entire state of 225 counties. There are actually only about 20 counties here that are any shade of blue at all, most of them down at the border. The trouble they will have ever turning Texas blue, even if they manage to get millions more people to vote democrat, is that the Republican legislature has gerrymandered the Hell out of all the districts. Not a single district has flipped in 30+ years or even come close to it.
I had a feeling that Austin was always; or for a long time; almost an "appendage' so to speak; to the rest of TX. It's a relief to me to know that it doesn't look like TX; as a whole; will be flipped blue any time soon. Go TX!!
So true... Also adding to the problem is that fact that the nurses no longer have any real respect or compassion for the elderly. I have experienced this first-hand as the daughter of senior citizens who have been physically and spiritually abused by "nurses". Perhaps a change in title is needed as our current "nurses" don't actually do much nursing, i.e. caring for the sick or infirmed.
President John Kennedy was pushed into accepting Johnson as his vice president. (Johnson had evidence of Kennedy’s philanderings.) ‘I’m 43-years-old,’ said JFK, ‘I’m not going to die in office. So the vice presidency doesn’t mean anything.’
A Dutch optician insisted on women patients taking off their clothes and dancing while he played an accordion so that he could assess their suitability for contact lenses. ‘My client was trained in Britain where the practice is widespread,’ his lawyer told the court.
I used to have a good deal of trouble with my gums, though I cleaned my teeth carefully and flossed regularly – as encouraged by a series of dentists. And then Antoinette pointed out that flossing can cut into the gum, taking some of the plaque with it which only increases the risk of inflammation and infection to tissues. So I stopped flossing and started to use those little weeny, between the teeth brushes and my gums have been a good deal better. That was twenty years ago. I see that some dentists are now, at long last, beginning to recognise that flossing is stupid and dangerous.
Around 99% of threats and injustices cannot be fixed. It’s best to concentrate on the 1% that can be fixed. So, for example, let’s fight harder to save cash by walking away from shops and cafes that won’t take real money and refusing to be bullied by councils into paying car park fees by card or app. We have a right to pay by cash. Cash is one of the most important essentials of freedom.
Thames Water has a monopoly of providing water for 15 million people in south east England but it’s in danger of going bust because of £14 billion in debt. How on earth has it got into such trouble? Simple. Shareholders have taken over £72 billion out of the company since it was privatised. And now the company is blaming the weather for the fact that it has been pumping raw sewage into London’s rivers.
I see that Liz Truss MP (who was Prime Minister for a few minutes last year) can be hired for £15,770 an hour. But what would you hire her to do? What can she do? Surely, our plumber, who charges only slightly more than Truss is much better value.
A deadly cat virus is spreading around the world. I’m not surprised. It’s been clear for some time that the globalists want to kill all pets. The cats will go first and then the dogs. The globalists want to eradicate all pets by 2030. People will moan a little and many will mourn but most have been trained to be compliant and will say little and do nothing.
Doctors are puzzled by a growing epidemic of Guillain-Barre syndrome. What could be the cause? Is it the intensely hot rain that has been falling? Is it all the rubbish on television? Or could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that the toxic covid-19 jab (which has been given to billions) is known to cause Guillain- Barre syndrome? (See my video dated 8th December 2020, or look at the transcript. Guillain-Barre syndrome was top of the list of possible side effects I warned about.)
I’m surprised at this but the BBC admits that it has misinformation and disinformation specialists. We all know the BBC spreads misinformation and disinformation but I was surprised to see that they not only admit that they do it but also claim to have specialists who do nothing else. Still, I suppose we can give them a point for honesty about their dishonesty.
When supermarkets deliver groceries in the rain an estimated 14% of the food delivered is ruined and has to be thrown away because the food isn’t placed in plastic bags. The cost to the environment of all the spoiled food is vast. The saving from not using plastic bags is virtually non-existent. The people who got rid of plastic bags were morons and will always be morons.
People in Hong Kong have been told to stare at smokers to stop them. I did that with people wearing masks. But it didn’t work. People who wore masks had very little functioning brain tissue and thought they looked stylish. I think they thought I was admiring the way they looked.
Doctors are still going on strike in the UK with some of them demanding a £40,000 a year pay rise. The word obscene doesn’t seem quite enough. Meanwhile, if you want to make yourself healthier and less reliant on doctors please read my book Superbody.
Almost exactly 50 years ago I made a TV programme (for the BBC – in the days when the BBC cared about people and the truth) in which I explained (with the aid of a large whiteboard) that health care facilities (and results) varied massively around Britain and that the health service could not possibly be described as a ‘national’ service since people in some areas had a much greater chance of surviving than people in other areas. And now, today, a new report has been published showing that your location can determine whether you live or die. Waiting times for ambulances, investigations and treatments vary massively around the country. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed in fifty years.
Doctors now make Alzheimer’s disease the default diagnosis when anyone shows signs of dementia. That’s because the drug industry makes huge amounts of money out of drugs for Alzheimer’s. It is also because Alzheimer’s charities are very active. And it is because doctors get paid a bonus every time they make a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. For the truth about dementia please read my book The Dementia Myth. It will probably shock you.
During the reign of Louis XIV, the church condoned the wearing of low necked dresses as long as the women wearing them had their nipples pierced.
Those without smart phones are now effectively banned from attending major sports events because many arenas, etc. will only allow in spectators who have a digital ticket on a smart phone. Even if you have a smart phone please refuse to use it to buy a digital ticket. Unless we stand together we will all be slaves to those damned mobile phones and we will have no future whatsoever.
On May 12th 1863, a bullet fired in the American Civil War carried away the left testicle of a soldier and went on to penetrate the left side of a young nurse and carry sperm into her body. Nine months later the nurse gave birth to a son. Her hymen was intact at the birth and she was clearly still a virgin. A doctor introduced the soldier and the nurse who later married and had three other children by more conventional means. The case history was reported in The Lancet in 1875.
Litter collectors on English beaches found two intravenous drip bags and one colostomy bag.
An American PR expert was told off for wearing a pair of women’s panties in his jacket breast pocket – instead of a handkerchief. He explained that the panties went well with his tie.
Americans are being encouraged to take their house plants for a walk. It is said to make the plants healthier.
The world record for balancing on one foot is held by a man who stood on one foot for 34 hours without falling over or holding onto anything. I nearly beat him. I just missed by 33 hours and 59 minutes.

Edwin, Thanks so much for mirroring Dr. Coleman's articles on your stack. He is THE best!
For real? Or Parody? Stupid and far left if real!
I guess it's real, I guess.
So true... Also adding to the problem is that fact that the nurses no longer have any real respect or compassion for the elderly. I have experienced this first-hand as the daughter of senior citizens who have been physically and spiritually abused by "nurses". Perhaps a change in title is needed as our current "nurses" don't actually do much nursing, i.e. caring for the sick or infirmed.
No, they leave that up to the "assistants." You know, the ones who don't get paid enough to "care" so much.
