Health Care Crisis? Help is on the way . . . Whatever the composition of your family--an individual living independently, a couple, a multi-generational household with children and/or elders--you want good health and a safe home. But what about all the alarming news of hazards in our environment-in what we eat, drink, breathe, touch? How much control do we really have over our own health and safety? Fortunately, more than you might think. Here, in a commonsense way, "Dr. Doug" Ratner guides you and your family through proactive steps you can take to maximize the well-being of each and every loved one, from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent. He provides easy-to-understand tips and implementation guides so individuals and families can help themselves to the best possible future health. Just some of the topics include: Part One: Introduction and orientation to the material that follows--diagnosis, environmental medicine, scientific studies and how to tell good information from bad. Part Two: A close look at your external world, including how to maintain a healthful and safe home environment. What you need to know about carcinogens and other toxic substances. How to make your home as safe as possible--especially for seniors, children and the disabled. Part Three: A close look at your internal world, including how to maintain a healthy, properly nourished body. What is good food? What's safe? What about herbs and other supplements? Sections B and C form a concise Nutritional Guidebook detailing how nutrients work and what foods can help prevent or ease illnesses. Part Four: A truly innovative look at U.S. health care at present and for the future. Whether we're patients or doctors, we need to be discussing what traditions have become outdated and how we can make the best use of new ideas--like being rewarded for health-minded choices and actions--and of countless new technological developments in the 21st century. This book--lavishly illustrated to both entertain and inform--is not only an invaluable reference to keep in your home, but also the first step into a healthcare program that's been proven to work. It's a whole new approach to managing your own health care, protecting your family from avoidable dangers while shifting your view from "treatment" to "preventive wellness."
