Prevention and self-care are the watchwords for this hefty health manual by a Seattle physician whose practice combines conventional and alternative m edicine. Golan examines the underlying causes of chronic ailments, which he dubs the Ten Common Denominators of Illness. Dietary hazards and nutrition al deficiencies receive the greatest attention; most of the other sources o f illness he lists are also diet-related, e.g., toxic bowel, food allergies . In another section, he offers an alphabetical list of 100 common ailments from abscesses to water retention, identifying symptoms, common causes and suggested treatments and preventive measures for each. While approaches to wellness occasionally include conventional medical treatment, most are rec ommendations for dietary changes, herbal remedies and nutritional supplemen ts. Although Golan, who teaches naturopathic medicine, slights other altern ative therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic and massage, his holisti c approach will appeal to those frustrated by the disease-oriented approach of conventional medicine., Near Fine Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
