Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
As a former associate editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association , this reviewer believes that the assurances Dr. Ancowitz offers to stroke victims are not acceptable even though he is an internist and the founder of the Stroke Foundation of New York City. Begging for funds, as this book does, is a bad beginning. Taking scientific data and warping it to suit a special purpose, without any thought of the patient's welfare, increases the negative factor. Finally, furnishing a disclaimer about the advice offered is simply too much. Dr. Ancowitz advises readers to take aspirin every day without revealing that aspirin probably causes more strokes than it can prevent. He says strokes can be prevented if certain fats in the diet are avoided, notwithstanding the fact that some fats are necessary to prevent immune-deficiency diseases such as AIDS. Arthur Joseph's Stroke: An Owner's Manual ( LJ 10/1/92) offers a more realistic look at the situation.
