The Doctors Book of Home Remedies [antikvár]

Introduction Your Healing Companion You've probably seen the commercial: A rag-clad guy looking like a hybrid of Robinson Crusoe and Peter Jennings stands on a desert island. He telis you that most doctors would pick a certain brand of aspirin-the wonder drug-as their one healing companion if they were stranded on the island. Well, this introduction is a clone of that commercial, and here's the claim: If you were stranded on a desert island and needed one self-help book- one medical companion that would let you effectively and safely treat almost any health problem -this would be the book. What you're holding in your hands is the print equivalent of a wonder drug: a remarkably powerful, all-purpose product with enough extra strength to heal millions of people, includingyourself. You're holding the distilled experience and wisdom of hundreds of doctors and health professionals - their veiy best curative techniques for dozens and dozens of conditions and diseases. And these techniques-like a wonder drug-are simple, accessible, and virtually risk-free. How was this wonder drug formulated? The editors of Prevention Magaziné Health Books spent months interviewing medical experts and asking them for home remedies-for ways that our readers could treat their annoyances and ills themselves. And those experts answered. They told us 27 ways to cut cholesterol. Eighteen remedies for hemorrhoids. Thirty-eight ways to relieve the pain of a sting. Fourteen tips to mufíle a shingles infection. In all, they shared with us over 2,300 methods for relieving over 130 problems-a cornucopia of cures. I've been in the health journalism business for 14years. I've written and edited thousands of articles and chapters; I've read hundreds of how-to books. And never-never-have I come across a more complete, practical collection of healing tips and techniques. So if you take one book to that desert island -orjust want one healing companion in the island of your home-choose this one. The doctors we talked to would agree; it's truly wonderful.
