By A Customer

This review is from: healthwise handbook: a self-care guide for you and your family (Paperback)

This book is distributed free to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care members (a Boston HMO), so it has high credibility. The book "includes basic guidelines on how to recognize and cope withh over 180 of the most common health problems." I have used it many times.
