Book Publication News!

Great news! The publication date for Do You Really Need That Pill? has been set for June 5, 2018. I am grateful that the book, revised and updated, will finally get into the hands of all of you who have been waiting. And I am pleased that this important information will reach many  of the people who may unknowingly be taking medications that they don’t really need and which are making them sicker.

I will be scheduling book signings, media events, and speaking engagements in many of the places where I have lived and/or worked. If you have suggestions about locations, contacts, or would like to help coordinate an event, please let me know on the comment form.

The reviews of the book from leading figures in integrative medicine have been stellar, including the following:

“Overdiagnosis and overmedication are major public health issues in the United States and, if the trend continues, will only increase with the growing senior population. Dr.Jacobs gives practical, evidenced-based advice for dealing with some of the most common health problems we face in today’s society. Read this book—it may just save your life!” —BRIAN BERMAN, MD, director, Institute for Integrative Medicine, University
of Maryland School of Medicine

“Dr. Jennifer Jacobs’s Do You Really Need That Pill? is a sound, sympathetic, practical guide to the risks of excessive prescription drugs and safe, effective alternatives to them. I recommend it to anyone concerned about a chronic health problem they, or
someone close to them, suffers from who wants to reduce medication and find safer, effective alternatives.” —DR. PETER FISHER, physician to HM The Queen, director of research, Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine

“A thorough and well-documented resource on the pharmaceuticals prescribed today. A good reference for anyone interested in learning more about the medications they or their loved ones are taking.” —PATRICIA M. HERMAN, ND, PhD, senior behavioral
scientist, RAND Corporation
