Podcast 299: A Secret Epidemic

The book we reference is:
Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness

Book also mentioned:
Osler’s Web: Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic

“A relentless, meticulous, and highly persuasive exposé by a journalist who spent nine years investigating the medical research establishment’s failure to take seriously chronic fatigue syndrome… In a chronology that runs from 1984 to 1994, Johnson crams in fact after telling fact, building up a dismaying picture of a rigid and haughty biomedical research establishment unwilling or unable to respond to the challenge of a multifaceted disease for which a causative agent has yet to be found… A compelling, well-documented account…”
—Kirkus Reviews
