More About the Author

I do not have a literary background, though I did a year of graduate study at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, my real background is medical. I graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in 1964 and practiced for 44 years, first as a General Practitioner, and the last 30 as an E.R. doc. I began writing as an avocation to help me unwind after a long day in the E.R. My writing went in two directions, one Historical Fiction, and the other Medical Self-Help, my forte translating medical information into easily understood lay language. In recent years that Self-Help has been more in the direction of Baby Boomer and senior health and emotional problems.
My Historical Novels deal mainly with Judaical, Holocaust, and Biblical History. Most of my books are both in print and on Amazon Kindle. Please enjoy! With over 40 books published by 10 different publishers I've been named Colorado's most prolific author. Google Othniel Seiden

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Drs. Seiden and Bilett..., May 1, 2008

Charles "author of many published books" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heavy and Healthy (Perfect Paperback)

for changing my focus from my weight to far more important measures of good health! Now let's hope the world follows suit! I showed this book to my doctor and TO MY AMAZEMENT - he was in full agreement with its principles and practices (now if I can just get him to stop weighing me every time I go there).

It is just plain common sense - everyone who has ever battled with their weight needs to realize that weight is not the enemy and to give up that war and focus on their health. The scale doesn't measure anything of substance!

Again, thanks...

This review is from: Heavy and Healthy (Perfect Paperback)

I saw reported a 12 year study which validates everything that is said by Seiden and Bilett. I'm much happier now since I've forgotten my weight and pursued the other simple life-style changes this book recommends.

It was liberating to throw away the scale!

This review is from: Heavy and Healthy - Forget your weight and get fit (Kindle Edition)

A new look at the preponderance of the medical concern regarding weight. Dr. Seiden looks at significant health factors that in all likelihood outweigh - no pun intended! - how heavy a person is. . . or isn't! I found the glossary particularly helpful and enlightening.
