I have several other medical books, but as far as diagnosing symptoms, this is the best. You can find an entire chart for arm pain or something like that, then you can check out possible diseases. With other books, you need to know what you have first. I also like how the book is set up. You read about the symptoms and which ones require medical attention, then you read about possible causes, and cure options -- both traditional and alternative. I also use this book to check my medications, since there is an extensive list in the back. And I love the pictures of the body in the back -- which aided me in realizing I probably had a swollen gland and not a cancerous lump. I wish they would do an updated version of this book. Colleagues at work are forever asking me to "bring in your book," to diagnosed their families. It's must-have home reference. (I need to add that I have the hardback version, and I am assuming the paperback is the same.)

I bought this book for my sister-in-law for Christmas 3 years ago and have been wanting one for myself ever since. This book is the most informational medical book for non-medical persons I have ever used.

This book is a great resource for home medical assessment, i.e., figuring when and when not to go to the doctor, and how to treat and supplement a doctor's care.

I first came across this book from a friend. I thought it will be a good reference book, and that's what it actually is. It gives you a general idea of certain aches and pains that you encounter in your day to day life. This books helps you to take some initial remedial measures before wasting your time at the Doctors. I say this because some of the illness can be overcome without pumping a lot of pills into your system. This book is good to understand your body, its illness and take care of it.

Really helpful when it comes to alternate methods to cure several ailments. Helps to understand the cause and reamdy for an ailment, and also helps to talk to your doctor for treatment methods.

Love the book, replacing the last copy that got ate by the dog. Came quickly and in excellent condition. Thanks

I love this book and use it all the time. It is a
quick reference for any medical condition and is
written in layman terms so it is very user friendly.
I recommend this book for anyone. A must for every
home.
