This brand new book written by Dr. Dean Edell contains a wealth of health care and related information of value to all. Dr. Edell has been a "regular" on numerous programs for years. The book is written in a convenient question and answer format. Topics range from weight, diets, sex, children, infections, Botox and much, much more in its nearly 600 pages. You'll find out where to obtain useful information and what info to discard. Many additonal resources are provided by Dr. Edell. This is an inexpensive book you'll refer to for years, and maybe will help you avoid buying useless cures, and maybe avoid an unnecessary trip to the doctor. Well worth the money.

Dr. Edell's new book is packed with good advice for those of us who want truthful answers to questions about health care. His encyclopedic knowledge, based on the best available science, is combined with reason and common sense in a way that every reader can understand and appreciate. Best of all, he pulls no punches in exposing pseudoscientific "alternative" healing methods that contaminate good health care and pose a threat to the health and well being of consumers. I highly recommend this book for persons who want a complete, interesting reference book that provides reliable health information in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format that allows readers to pick and choose topics that interest them most.

As a along time sufferer of Fibromyalgia (FMS), I was horrified to see Dr. Edell haul out that old and thoroughly disproven idea that it is a psychological illness. I am a psychiatric social worker, and have had umpteen tests, all normal. Many studies have shown no more psych problems than in any pain syndrome. This illness has ruined the lives of 10 million (mostly) women in the prime of their lives. Hey Doc, read the functional MRI studies, the SPECT and PET scan studies, the cardiomyopathy studies, the cortisol stimulation studies, the somatatomedin C/growth hormone studies, and I could go on an on. It must be sheer laziness not to know the research overwhelmingly proves the reality of this illness. And while you're at it, read the World Health Organization's position paper on FMS, in which they state it is one of the three top morbidity illnesses affecting the human race. We are in enough pain and misery already without having an ignorant doctor casually trashing us in a book. This makes me wonder how many other errors are in this book. Shame on you!
