I started out looking up topics in this handy book by Lisa Chavis, and found myself reading page after page. Not only are there ideas and recommendations for the most common (and most aggravating) everyday health problems in here, but there is a refreshingly cheerful look at pharmacists, doctors and consumers as well. The authors never talks down to the reader and seems to anticipate the questions that come up in the reading. The Humor Pills are delightful additions to rather than distractions from the content. I learned some things and had a good time doing it!

How many times have you walked past the drug counter, saw the pharmacist in their white jacket, had a question burning inside that you wanted to ask, and passed right by because you were just too embarassed? Well now, finally, here is a prescription to help. Ask Your Pharmacist is written with an intent to help you understand. It's like taking a journey through the ailments of life, with a few stops at Disneyland on the way! From Prostate Cancer, to breast cancer; from aching, itching, sneezing to insomnia, varicose veins and acne.....it's all here. It's not often you pick up a medical book that you can't put down. But, Ask Your Pharmacist does just that. If your ready for a journey through the unknown, with a guide who knows how to lead you, then this book is for you! Go ahead, buy it, enjoy it, and then let me know I was right so I can say I told you so :-)

Here, at last, is a book that FINALLY answers the many common health questions that even physicians who are trained to fight disease and illness are ill prepared to answer. Most of us as lay persons and conusmers feel at times uncertain about or even fearful of knowing the truth about some common health and wellness questions. The author, a leading pharmacist, shares useful truths. Makes a great gift to almost anyone. Should be a first reference guide to health and happiness in every household.

This book provides a wealth of information on maintaining
general health. For instance, the author describes classic
allergic reactions to drugs, food and various environmental
factors. She explains how to control bad breath through
brushing, flossing, tongue scrapers and spearmint flavor.
The book continues by explaining the use of fiber to minimize
constipation. Dandruff may be controlled with fish oils and
flax oil. Excess gas may be managed with peppermint tea and lactaid. The authors explain how to control urinary tract
infections with Azocran tablets. Overall, the book provides
a wealth of information pertaining to maximizing personal
hygiene. It is a good purchase as a supplement to your personal
health and hygiene repertoire of books.

This is a great book for people who can't decide what to take for a stuffy nose, cough, constipation, headaches, etc. This book offers good recommendations for over the counter medications as well as alternative remedies for everyday ailments. I highly recommend this to anyone!
