About this title

From the Author

Health is our most important gift.
Family Health For Dummies gives a family – be it the mother, the father, the child, the grandparent – the information he or she needs to make wise decisions. This book runs the gamut from young to old, from minor to major, from everyday to life-threatening – all in one reader-friendly volume. No other book offers everything from remedies and prevention strategies to what to ask medical practitioners. All of the important medical information and tips in this book are presented with the utmost accuracy and are documented by the latest medical research and findings. No doctor-speak allowed here! No outdated facts, no truncated discussions before the truly helpful strategies are presented and discussed. A parent wondering about her child’s earache has all the facts and options laid out. The 50-year-old man questioning whether his symptoms indicate age-related prostate problems or a more serious problem only has to read the section on men’s health.

Unlike many of the other such guides on the market, Family Health For Dummies offers all the options, all the facts, all in an unbiased fashion. With more than 70 medical consumerist books under its belt, the People’s Medical Society combs all the medical literature, looking for and presenting the most definitive, the latest medical finding. Its reputation in the field of medical consumer publishing comes down to information in a reader-friendly and complete way, and you have empowered the consumer.

I am the vice president for editorial services at the People’s Medical Society, the nation’s largest nonprofit consumer advocacy organization. I am a co-author on a number of the society's best-selling books.
