 Great info for a 70-year-old (or younger) September 1, 2008

The information is concise, easy to find, and easy to understand. It gives me an excellent point from which to start if I need to research a health problem further. It also helps me prepare for my doctors' visits by knowing what to ask. I have changed my diet to include more healthy foods because of this book. As a relatively healthy 70-year-old male, I find this book invaluable.

On an impulse, I sent this book to my father (he's age 77) to help him be better informed about his health. He lives out of state and I'm not always available to find answers to his questions. He's very healthy, but recently he's had bouts of vertigo and anxiety. The book is helpful to him to confirm the information that his physicians give him, and he finds that reassuring. Overall, he says that he really enjoys reading the book and that it's a good reference.
