Good Health in the 21st Century: A Family Doctor's Unconventional Guide

By Carole Hungerford

This encyclopedic health guide provides an extraordinary amount of accessible information and presents a radically different way of maintaining well-being. Rejecting the routine cocktails of medication with their complicated interactions and side effects, it shows how to provide a chance for minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids found in food and supplements to do their health-giving work. The subjects covered include conditions and diseases such as asthma, arthritis, cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease; mental health; neurological disorders; hormone-replacement therapy and vaccination; macronutrients and minerals; and vitamins and essential fatty acids.
