David Barton is the Tea Party's historian, but this book by S.I. McMillen is becoming it's doctor
In this presentation, Barton made an aside to recommend a book called "None Of These Diseases" by S.I. McMillen, calling it "one of the best healthcare books you'll ever read." It is obvious as why Barton would recommend it since it is basically a medical version of the sort of political propaganda that Barton peddles professionally.

Most of the book is dedicated to explaining how all medical advances were first foretold in the Bible and declaring that people would be so much happier and healthier if they just followed the health advice set forth in Scripture.

How to treat schizophrenia:
Admit you're not a good enough Christian

What causes arthritis and psychosis:
Promiscuity

The solution to domestic abuse:
The woman just needs to submit to her husband

Now all they need is a 'chief scientist' to reintroduce divining and phrenology, and then the party can really begin!

1. I personally am not schizophrenic.
Although I do know that skill set.

Many try to say someone is delusional to support their own delusion.
