The Empty Medicine Cabinet: The Pharmacist's Guide to the Hidden Danger of Drugs and the Healing Powers of Food

Like most healthcare professionals, Dustin Rudolph, PharmD, entered the field of medicine with one goal in mind—to help his patients get healthy. As a pharmacist, Rudolph believed the best way to accomplish this was through pills, procedures, and surgeries. Boy, was he wrong! His story, life experiences, and professional expertise serve as the foundation for this book.

The business model of a profit-based healthcare system is exposed, resulting in a steady stream of chronically sick, lifelong customers. The book offers a cost-free, side-effect-free solution rooted in the discipline of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition. Backed by an array of scientific studies, readers hear the truth in The Empty Medicine Cabinet.

What the experts are saying about The Empty Medicine Cabinet...

“This wonderful book shows you that the most powerful medicines are on your plate. The foods you eat every day have the power to prevent illness and to even reverse it. This book will be your guide to unlocking this power. And all the “side effects” are good ones: Easy weight loss, lower cholesterol, and a longer life.”

—Neal Barnard, MD, President of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Author of Power Foods for the Brain

“Do you want to take charge of your health? Read this outstanding book and learn how to take advantage of the enormous healing powers of excellent nutrition. Your body will thank you for the rest of your life.”

—John Robbins, President of The Food Revolution Network and Author of Diet for a New America

—Brenda Davis, RD, Author of Becoming Vegan

“Instead of being a pharmacist pushing pills, Dustin is a “farm assist” pushing plants. Most people are illiterate when it comes to the power of a whole foods, plant-based diet to prevent, halt, and even reverse the majority of chronic Western disease. Read this compellingly clear and concise book from a perspective we’ve never seen before and become literate and take back your health!”

—Rip Esselstyn, Author of The Engine 2 Diet
