5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my stomach and body many a time, November 3, 2008

This review is from: Lonely Planet Healthy Travel: Asia & India (Paperback)

I have had the older version of this book for over 5 years now. I have actually used in in Africa, and throughout Asia as an experienced traveler. I found the advice to be excellent. Even for lonely planet ;-)

Medications, dosages, symptoms in particular have saved me from everything from Malaria, to stomach problems.

I would go out of my way to buy this again, should I ever lose my copy.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Healthy Travel: Asia & India (Paperback)

This will be a book that I will make room for my travels throughout Asia and India.
It is must for those who intend to enjoy their travels rather than experiencing their destinations through the many bathrooms and hospitals that they will most likely frequent.

Sounded like a good idea to prepare our trip to India, but we ended up not using it much. It's cheap and easy to carry around, but still I do not feel we got much out of it. The internet has plenty of basic advice.
