Guide to Medical Cures and Treatments

The guide offers readers answers to a wide range of health-related questions. It gives not only answers that a general doctor would give, but also covers complementary treatments. With an index of the most widely used medications, their effects and possible side effects, this A-to-Z sourcebook describes more than 450 diseases and conditions and how they are treated. It also includes case histories, as well as a directory of health associations and support groups, with phone numbers and addresses.
