4.0 out of 5 stars How we bring things on ourselves, July 8, 2001

By	Cordell W. Riley "ledroc" (Hamilton, Bermuda) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent book. The author, a medical doctor, through easy to understand charts and graphs, explains how most of the patients he sees could have prevented, or lessened the effects, of their illness. The author also recommends simple cost-effective strategies for taking better care of ourselves. The book is written from a Christian perspective.
