Jack Dreyfus, founder of the hugely successful Dreyfus Fund, discovered that a medicine (phenytoin) was very successful in treating his severe depression. This book is a story of Dreyfus?... This description may be from another edition of this product.
As a medical researcher I found the information contained very helpful. This substance appears to exhibit some powerful bioregulation qualities. In particular I am interested in the life extention implications it may have. This is an example of what I would call a "Beneficial Drug" Side effects mentioned appear to be limited to high epileptic dosage. The Author must be commended for the self sacrifice He endured bringing this unbelievable resource to us. Thank you! Sincerely, Eric Lloyd Tampa Fla
Reads like the diary of a madman???
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
It's quite clear who is the "madman" here - or who otherwise has their own agenda??? I find it interesting that Jack Dreyfus had his own severe anxiety / depression / insomnia cured almost immediately by use of Dilantin. I find it even more interesting that Mr. Dreyfus is STILL going strong at age 92 (yes, he turned 92 this year). And yet, Mr. Dreyfus is "not a well man"? I also found this quote interesting: "He proceeded to use his money to bully doctors and government officials into promoting Dilatin for every condition under the sun." In reading and re-reading his books, I have found absolutely no evidence of such maneuverings as claimed by that quote. Instead what was found time and time again was a bureaucratic indiffference to detailed examination of a medication - simply due to the primary fact that its patent had expired and huge fortunes could no longer be made by a solitary pharmaceutical company. Either "davidb321us" did not actually read this entire book - or is in fact one of those in the "medical profession" (I note that he did not specifically say that he was a doctor) whose very attitude has stonewalled legitimate extensive testing and education regarding this clearly remarkable medication. What is even more ironic is that most educated people today know that most people in the medical profession obtain a significant amount of their "education" of pharmaceuticals from drug company sales reps (whose agenda is clearly to push the latest patented versions of whatever the "flavor-of-the-month" happens to be). Finally, Jack Dreyfus - nor ANY of his organizations - have ANY financial interest in Dilantin (PHT) in any form whatsoever. And his ongoing foundation (the Dreyfus Medical Foundation)? It is strictly a charitable medical organization.
Interesting Book by a Passionate Believer!

Jack Dreyfus is clearly a true believer in Dilantin. Americans have unfortunately been following the advice of the AMA and taking pharmaceutical company's money making drugs. No country is more overmedicated while at the same time improperly medicated. Jack's book addresses these issues. Interesting and passionate, he gives endless examples of Dilantin improving the quality of people's lives. It is a great example of experiencing the benefits of something, researching it further, and then trying to tell the world of its benefits. Interesting and worth reading!
A Remarkable Medice Has Been Overlooked

As a psychologist for 30 years, I found this book fascinating and well thought out. For anyone suffering depression, I strongly suggest they read the book and make their own decisions regarding Dilantin.
