| Plot Summary of Requiem of Insanity |
|---|
"This is a story of a woman (Queen Sara) and her son (Prince Max) who become locked into a medical-go-round due to trusting overzealous doctors who have their hands poised over prescription pads. Queen Sara followed the doctors blindly, as most of Western society is still trained to do. Side effects and reactions to the heavy long-term medication drove both her and her son into being misdiagnosed with one disorder after another.
The author closes her book with a spreadsheet of the drugs she has experience with, their known reactions and some possible alternatives. The last seven pages list contacts for associations that may prove helpful for those on a medical adventure.
This story is an excellent example of how deficiencies and emotions can play a huge part on our overall health.
