I went and bought this book as soon as Oprah announced the book and class.

Has anyone else picked up a copy and signed up for the class?

excerpt from page 75:

Now, many experts agree that the widespread and indiscriminate use of antibiotics has created a time b and that antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, so-called super bugs, will in all likelihood bring about a reemergence of those diseases and possibly epidemics. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, medical treatment is the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States. Homeopathy and Chinese medicine are two examples of possible alternative approaches to disease that do not treat the illness as the enemy and therefore do not create new diseases.

Thanks for that excerpt, Jonsi! Maybe now if Oprah reads that, she'll have the blue man back on and give the silver and alternative medicine a tad more respect.
