5.0 out of 5 stars Healthwise for Life, March 12, 2001
By A Customer
This book covers everything that you could come across from bee stings to urinary incontinence. It helps answer those basic questions you would normally pay to ask a doctor and refers you to the doctor when the problem is more serious, or the home treatment options haven't helped. Healthwise for Life offers detailed and useful information tailored to people later in life and is an essential health reference book to have in the home.

Great, informative, easy to read book. I found this in a doctor's office and found it at Amazon for my mother. Looking forward to reading it when she is done

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthwise for Life an excellent resource, March 16, 2009
This is certainly one of the most useful personal healthcare guides I have ever used. As a registered nurse, I have found it to be a very valuable resource for patient education. Although the book targets the aging population, many younger individuals find its information useful as well. A great book!
