Durham’s Own Joe and Terry Graedon Share The Best Choices From The People’s Pharmacy
On UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, Friday, November 2, at 9:30 PM

We can read the newspaper for candid restaurant or movie reviews or consult Consumer Reports for an impartial analysis of the best buys on toasters or automobiles. But where can we find objective evaluations of popular treatments for conditions like arthritis, high cholesterol, and migraines?

In an all-new episode of UNC-TV’s local literary series North Carolina Bookwatch with D.G. Martin, premiering Friday, November 2, at 9:30 PM, Joe and Teresa Graedon, the best-selling authors of Best Choices From The Peoples Pharmacy, fill in the void with all the information readers need to become savvy health-care consumers from their latest comprehensive guide to healthful living.

In addition to their books, Durham residents Joe and Terry Graedon write The People's Pharmacy® syndicated newspaper column, which is widely distributed in the United States and abroad. They also co-host an award-winning health talk show that airs weekly on over 500 stations through public radio, the InTouch Radio Reading Service, and the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

Appearances include public television, Dateline NBC, 20/20, Extra, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, CBS Morning News, and NBC Evening News with Tom Brokaw.
