WOW! This is a super dense book dealing with a lot of technical medical knowledge. I didn't understand some of it, but the author did describe it.

The amount of fraud going into Alzheimer research is appalling. it seemed that whenever the author turned around there was another fraud in Alzheimer research. Even his main person reporting the fraudulent research, Schrag was accused of fraud on some of his undergraduate work.

The anger towards researchers and the journals/papers that published the false research was palpable in the book.

I was angry too, the National Institutes of Health gives out billions of dollars a year in research and just about every paper, every study, trial, for Alzheimer's is false or offers no hope, but they still get funded.

As I read this book I was shocked at how deep the falsehoods go, the Universities covering it up, and just the sheer amount of money in research and profit to be made.

it made me want to question all research.

There are a lot of people in this book, there is a lot of information. I thought the author had beat a dead horse. He had showed how the research was fraudlent and yet another 2 chapters went into finding MORE researchers who falsified their research/numbers.

In the end, this is a well researched book that is super dense and needs to be edited down.

I received a free copy of, Doctored, by Charles Piller, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Alzheimer's is a horrible disease, millions of American suffer with it, and their families too. This book shows how they people who can cure this disease are not. This was a very insightful read.

So, this was super eye-opening and really dives into the behind-the-scenes of Alzheimer’s research. If you’re into those deep-dive, investigative reads, this one totally hits the mark. It covers some pretty shady stuff going on with researchers, big companies, and regulators, and how all of that might have slowed down finding a cure.

What really stands out is how much of what we thought we knew could be totally off, and it definitely makes you think about the bigger picture when it comes to science and medicine. It’s kinda intense, but it’s written in a way that keeps you hooked, and it’s super informative without being overwhelming.

This book is definitely one to check out if you’re into thought-provoking reads that make you question things!

Thank you sooo much NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
