What would you do if you made hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, stayed in the best hotels, ate in the best restaurants around the globe . . . wining and dining clients at posh resort destinations with the full approval of your bosses . . . all while selling the products of some of the world's most lucrative pharmaceutical companies? Well, if you were John Virapen, Ph.D., you would write a tell-all book exposing the dirty, dark secrets of your former employers and how they are ruining the health and lives of millions while lining their pockets at the same time. John spent nearly four decades plying his trade: helping to gain approval for infamous drugs like Prozac; sweet-talking doctors and their staff to accept his free samples of the latest concoction from his company; bribing opinion leaders and regulatory authority employees-all to get more drugs into the hands of patients, some drugs that came with deadly side effects. After the birth of his last child in 2004, the hackles on the back of John's neck were raised when he saw who Big Pharma was marketing to now: kids. John decided there and then to get the message out to as many as possible, to warn them about the pills he had been pushing, to educate them about the deadly side effects he knew existed, but that Big Pharma hid from the public spotlight. Thanks to John, we've learned many of their dirty tricks. Never has someone so close to the action been privy to the ways of Big Pharma and exposed it all in a book. Find out why John was known as the "Big Pharma Insider," and why the most powerful pharmaceutical companies in the world still shudder when they hear his name.
