"I have given a copy to all my kids, and now am giving them as wedding presents adding a heating pad and ice bag. Something everyone can use and they probably won't get dupicates. They may forget who gave them two pricy glasses to their set, but they won't forget who gave them the Medical Advisor.

"This book is an excellent reference and extremely useful family resource. I use it frequently, with great results and great confidence! It contains just about anything you need to research. This book has helped me in "self-diagnosis" several times and in ruling out possible self diagnoses many other times! I've found it useful for women, men, and children. I highly recommend The Medical Advisor for your family's home library."

"This book has consistently provided me with great information...an excellent starting point before contacting your doctor or for an illness you just want tot understand better. There are some common drugs that I couldn't find, but usually could cross reference them to find some mention in the book, if not in the drug info section. It seems to be stronger in the alternative medicine category than the prescriptions, but overall info on general illnesses and symptoms is incredibly comprehensive. This is the one book that should be on every family's shelf.
This book has provided much more insight into drug side effects and interactions (especially drug interactions with herbal remedies) than my doctor, my pharmacist or even the internet has provided. And its great when you need an answer quick, like when you are panicking over an injury or symptom at 3 in the morning! I am eagerly awaiting the 3rd edition."

"I first came across this book from a friend. I thought it will be a good reference book, and that's what it actually is. It gives you a general idea of certain aches and pains that you encounter in your day to day life. This books helps you to take some initial remedial measures before wasting your time at the Doctors. I say this because some of the illness can be overcome without pumping a lot of pills into your system. This book is good to understand your body, its illness and take care of it."
