Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld's Breakthrough Health
by Isadore Rosenfeld. M.D.
Healthy hints you can live with.
There's a kindly looking, grandfatherly doctor on the cover of this book and inside he confides to you 167 up-to-the-minute medical discoveries, treatments and cures that can save your life. Who wouldn't want to read this book?
Have you ever wanted to corner a doctor at a party and pick their brain about your newest symptom or self-diagnosis, but social graces prevented you? Well this informative book is the closest you can get to that banter.
Breakthrough Heath is a medical reference book that you can refer to many
times. It's written in a simple direct approach and broken down into alphabetized chapters on illnesses from alcoholism to wrinkles. Within each chapter, Dr. Rosenfeld writes about "the latest news" in current studies on subjects in the area of medication, treatments and the "bottom line," which incorporates his personal suggestions.
Unfortunately, now that I am past 50, I find myself discovering a new medical problem with each yearly checkup. Last year, it was high blood pressure; this year, it's high cholesterol. I felt both of those chapters were enlightening. In one chapter, the suggestion was to cook with sesame oil since it was found to be helpful in cases of high blood pressure.
Some other subject's covered are: breast cancer, cold and flu, depression, diabetes, reflux disease, lupus, menopause, Parkinson's disease, sinusitis and stroke. If every time you read or re-read this book you discover one new thing to try or one more question to raise with your personal physician, it will certainly be worth the price.
