Dr. Peter Gotzsche is a specialist in internal medicine and a co-founder of The Cochrane Collaboration, which was started in 1993. He also established the Nordic Cochrane Center at the University of Copenhagen where he is now its chief physician and researcher and a professor of clinical research design and analysis.  Dr. Gotzsche has become an international critic of mammography screening and has written extensively on it being scientifically unjustified in peer reviewed literature. In Europe, he is a leading advocate for clinical data transparency within the private and government establishment, and is a voice demanding priority for patient welfare over commercial drug interests.

 

In addition to his book exposing the lies behind mammography screening, Dr. Gotzsche’s most recent release is “Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare”, a harsh indictment against the Drug industry for selling lies about drugs rather medically proven treatments and cures.
