Now on to my thoughts:

First off a big thank you to the publisher Loudhailer Books as well as to the author for the invite to read and review Pharmythology: A Pharmacist’s Guide to Demystifying Medicine .And second while I do tend to read nonfiction normally this isn't my type of reading but I'm glad I decided  to give it a try and I have to say that I actually enjoyed it way better then I thought I would , and the reason is the author wrote it in a way that I could actually understand what he was talking about as well as the photos throughout it, plus it as helped me to understand a bit more  about what more about what the FDA does and why and why not some drugs make the cut and others don't . So if you every want to understand anything about Pharmacology Toxicology or knows someone who is studying it this might be a book for them or for you . 

Ever tried to decode the side effects gabbled during the last 5 seconds of a drug commercial?

Pharmythology is for anyone with an inquisitive mind, who yet wants a break from the seriousness and rigidity of the modern world, where automation and liability protection are predominant and where information is too tedious — if not flavorless — to be meaningful.

Using simple language and a relaxed, curious tone, this book will provide you with a framework to derive unique insights and resolutions to common questions and modern dilemmas surrounding pharmaceuticals.

Drawing insights from scientific sources while also tapping into folk culture, the book presents a unique journey to explore the concrete, subtle, forgotten, and unconventional truths surrounding medications.

Find out how available drugs never got to be FDA-approved (and why that might be a good thing), how a venomous bite is revolutionizing diabetes treatment, and what tragedies shaped the way we practice pharmacy today.
