On Mondays we read a topic related to Children and Adolescents. Tuesdays we learn about diseases and ailments. On Wednesdays we enhance our knowledge of drugs and alternative treatments. Thursdays' topics are on the mind. On Fridays we read about sexuality and reproduction. On Saturdays we receive the gift of knowledge about lifestyle and preventive medicine.

From acupuncture to acne, black and blue marks to brain tumors, and lactose intolerance to lymphoma, you'll find the answers to a multitude of your health-related questions.

Whether you're interested in history, disease, prevention, mental health, alternative medicine or diet, you'll find a multitude of relevant topics within the cover of this fascinating book.

This is a great book to mix things up and get 1 page summaries of many health topics. It also has an index in the back if you're looking for something specific.

I love the book! It presents medicine in language that anyone can understand. It gave me knowledge that I believe will help my family and me to live longer and healthier lives! Whether you read a passage a day or read it all at once...read it!

This books gives you a small dose of information in an easy to read format.

The title is what got my attention as I was already going through the series anyway all parts complete the whole with this.

I own and enjoy all the intellectual Devotional books and this one does not disappoint.

I would love to read this book, but the print is so small that I can't see it. There was no need to make the print so small! I do not need reading glasses. But, for this one, I need a huge magnifying glass. I would never had bought this book had I seen it in person. Too bad. I am sure it is great......
