This is an excerpt from a letter by Richard Moore, MD, PhD dated August 31, 2009. Richard Moore, MD, PhD on how a drug company paid his publisher for a book about using drugs for blood pressure to compete with his book The K Factor (1986) about using potassium for high blood pressure. Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. In 1986, a physiologist at the University of Vermont Medical School and myself got Macmillan to publish [our book] The K Factor: Reversing and Preventing High Blood Pressure Without Drugs&#8221; a book which decisively showed that 95% of the cases of hypertension are due to a low ratio of potassium to sodium in the American diet. We did not emphasize it, but since you can&#8217;t repair a dietary deficiency with a synthetic chemical [a drug] this clearly indicated that drugs are not the answer for hypertension. Macmillan gave us a 000 advance and made The K Factor number two in their priority list for 1986 (second only to Margaret Truman&#8217;s book about her father). In Publisher&#8217;s Weekly, [the publisher, Macmillan] also stated their intention to spend 000 on advertising. They sent me to a few coaching sessions for being on TV and then had me do a warm-up tour of five medium cities including Dallas, Ft. Worth and Cleveland where they got me onto several radio and TV interviews. In those 5 cities, they sold a bit over 14000 copies of The K Factor in three weeks. This would project to near one million copies <b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>\n<strong>Video Rating: 5 \/ 5<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>fatnews.com Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com.
