Anemia is a common problem and can plague many types of people. When we are lacking in iron, it can sometimes seem like life is just too hard. We are tired and bruise and hurt easily. Not only that, but it can be difficult to concentrate and remember the things that we are told and tasks that need to be accomplished.

All of these consequences of living without enough iron in the bloodstream can lead to serious health issues, so it is more important than ever to begin to take action.

If you have already been diagnosed with anemia, you have been living with low iron for too long. If you are embarking on a lifestyle change such as veganism or vegetarianism, or you simply have cut out sources of iron from your diet for personal reasons, supplementing iron is a big step in order to remain healthy.

But why can't we just pop an iron pill and move on?

Unfortunately, studies have shown that supplements are not always adequate ways for our bodies to receive nutrients. Not only that, but taking iron supplements won't guarantee that our bodies even absorb the iron that we take.

With that in mind, we are going to embark upon a journey to discover exactly what it means for our bodies to live without iron in our diets and what we can do to ensure that we are receiving adequate nutrition.

At the end of the book, a few recipes will be offered for those who are new to a life with low iron in their diets, along with suggestions for people who have been living with anemia for a long time. It's time to begin to do something about all of this and this book will show you how.

How hype, money, and bias can mislead the public into thinking that many worthless or unproven treatments are effective.

Each week, people read about new and exciting cancer drugs. Some of these drugs are truly transformative, offering major improvements in how long patients live or how they feel--but what is often missing from the popular narrative is that, far too often, these new drugs have marginal or minimal benefits. Some are even harmful. In Malignant, hematologist-oncologist Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad writes about the many sobering examples of how patients are too often failed by cancer policy and by how oncology is practiced. Throughout this work, Prasad illuminates deceptive practices which

- promote novel cancer therapies long before credible data are available to support such treatment; and
- exaggerate the potential benefits of new therapies, many of which cost thousands and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Prasad then critiques the financial conflicts of interest that pervade the oncology field, the pharmaceutical industry, and the US Food and Drug administration.

This is a book about how the actions of human beings--our policies, our standards of evidence, and our drug regulation--incentivize the pursuit of marginal or unproven therapies at lofty and unsustainable prices. Prasad takes us through how cancer trials are conducted, how drugs come to market, and how pricing decisions are made, asking how we can ensure that more cancer drugs deliver both greater benefit and a lower price. Ultimately, Prasad says,

- more cancer clinical trials should measure outcomes that actually matter to people with cancer;
- patients on those trials should look more like actual global citizens;
- we need drug regulators to raise, not perpetually lower, the bar for approval; and
- we need unbiased patient advocates and experts.

This well-written, opinionated, and engaging book explains what we can do differently to make serious and sustained progress against cancer--and how we can avoid repeating the policy and practice mistakes of the past.
