Jack Dreyfus has had two. The first was when he founded the Dreyfus Fund. He became known as \"the most singular and effective personality to appear on Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch\" (\"Life\" magazine). The author's second life began in 1963 when, in the midst of a severe depression, he asked his physician to let him try a medicine usually prescribed for epilepsy. The medicine (phenytoin) brought him back to good health almost overnight. When he saw six other people have similar results, he realized he had an obligation to investigate further. He retired from his two highly successful businesses, established a charitable medical foundation, and spent the last 30 years of his life and $80 million obtaining information about the many uses of phenytoin. He found that it had been reported useful in the medical literature for over 70 symptoms and disorders. This information, in 20 different languages, has been translated and condensed into three bibliographies and sent to all the physicians in the United States. In spite of this, phenytoin is still being overlooked because of a flaw in the US system of bringing medicines to the public. Dreyfus's attempts to correct this tragic misunderstanding have led to the highest levels of government - but he has found government too busy with problems to have time for solutions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49656769904913,"sku":"GOR003314295","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50285376045329,"sku":"GOR005915238","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50306330657041,"sku":"CIN0826410693VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50633218457873,"sku":"CIN0826410693G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51325651517713,"sku":"CIN0826410693A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826410693.gif?v=1750979913"},{"product_id":"story-of-a-remarkable-medicine-book-jack-dreyfus-9781590560624","title":"The Story of a Remarkable Medicine","description":"Most people live one life; Jack Dreyfus has had two. The first was filled with remarkable accomplishments as he founded the highly successful Dreyfus Fund. The author's second life began in 1963 when, in the midst of a severe depression, he did an unheard-of thing: he asked his physician for a medicine not traditionally used to treat his symptoms and returned to good health almost overnight. When he saw six others have similar results, he realized he had an obligation to investigate further. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jack Dreyfus retired from two highly successful businesses and established the Dreyfus Medical Foundation. Through the Foundation, the author has worked tirelessly, with no financial interest, to show how this medicine--phenytoin--has been reported useful in thousands of medical journals for more than 80 symptoms and disorders, ranging from thought, mood and behavior disorders to cardiovascular, neuromuscular and pain ailments. The Foundation now has programs in dozens of countries around the world, providing assistance to millions of people suffering from psychological and physical difficulties. However, in spite of the overwhelming evidence, this medicine, patented in the United States, is still overlooked in this country because of a tragic flaw in our system of bringing medicines to the public. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At once inspiring and provocative, richly informative and full of warmth and wit, \u003cb\u003eThe Story of a Remarkable Medicine\u003c\/b\u003e is an extraordinary account of how one remarkable man has dedicated nearly half his life to bringing a prescription for hope to millions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50170314064145,"sku":"CIN1590560620G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50771366969617,"sku":"GOR014065411","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53574533480721,"sku":"CIN1590560620A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590560620.jpg?v=1750926915"},{"product_id":"written-in-frustration-book-jack-dreyfus-9781590560846","title":"Written in Frustration","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392596021521,"sku":"CIN1590560841G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590560841.jpg?v=1750992064"},{"product_id":"remarkable-medicine-has-been-overlooked-book-jack-dreyfus-9781930051140","title":"A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395275624721,"sku":"CIN193005114XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395278442769,"sku":"CIN193005114XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51321955189009,"sku":"CIN193005114XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/193005114X.jpg?v=1750964786"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jack-dreyfus.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
