5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic home resource, May 2, 2005
This book has a rather unique layout that actually makes it easier to use than most similar books. The first part of the book focuses on symptoms. You look up your primary symptom, and then look to see if there are associated symptoms that match yours. If you have a match of symptoms then you read the different possible diagnosis for those symptoms and the distinguishing features of each diagnosis. The best way to illustrate how easy it is to use an example. Suppose you see some blood in your urine. You look up "Blood in the urine" and find that there are two subdivisions - with urinary difficulty or incontinence, without urinary difficulty or incontinence. If there is no urinary difficulty or incontinence then there are five possible diagnoses provided. Each of these five provides distinguishing features so you can easily figure out if you match one of them.

The second part of the book details the disorders provided in the symptom diagnosis portion. So, if you determined that you probably have an esophageal stricture you can look that disorder up and find out what it is, what causes it, prevention strategies, diagnostic techniques, how to treat it, and most importantly, when to call a doctor. With clear writing and lavish illustrations it provides a clear understanding of the problem. The John Hopkins Complete Home Guide to Symptoms & Remedies is a very highly recommended book to have handy in every home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide!, September 15, 2008
By Nancy Peterson (Ann Arbor, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great guide to your medical symptoms and remedies. It is very easy to read - the print is good and it is organized in a way that is very easy to follow. For example, if you have heart palpitations you go to that section and the book will detail medical possibilities and what to do. I recommend having this book in your home reference library.
