What if the pills in your medicine cabinet were designed not to cure you, but to keep you sick?

In this explosive investigative exposé, journalist Michael Rodriguez reveals how the pharmaceutical industry has transformed healthcare into a profit-extraction machine. The Disease Dealers uncovers eighteen months of research into Big Pharma's darkest secrets: from the opioid crisis engineered by Purdue Pharma to clinical trial fraud conducted on vulnerable populations, from disease mongering that turns normal life into medical conditions to the revolving door between FDA regulators and pharmaceutical executives.

Through leaked internal documents, whistleblower testimonies, and follow-the-money investigations, Rodriguez exposes how drug companies manipulate research, bribe doctors with lavish gifts, manufacture diseases to match their medicines, and charge Americans 10-100 times more than patients in other countries. You'll discover why the same medication costs $84,000 in the U.S. but $300 in India, how pharmaceutical lobbying controls Congress with $373 million annually, and why clinical trials are now conducted on poor populations abroad while profits flow to wealthy markets.

This isn't conspiracy theory-it's documented corporate crime hiding in plain sight. The Disease Dealers provides not just shocking revelations about healthcare corruption and medical industry manipulation, but also practical strategies to protect yourself and your family, plus a roadmap for systemic reform that prioritizes patients over pharmaceutical profits.

If you've ever felt exploited by drug pricing, questioned why you need so many medications, or wondered who really benefits from America's healthcare system-this book will change how you see medicine forever.
