Your Healing Companion

You've probably seen the commercial: A rag-clad guy looking like a hybrid of Robinson Crusoe and Peter Jennings stands on a desert island. He tells you that most doctors would pick a certain brand of aspirin—the wonder drug—as their one healing companion if they were stranded on the island. Well, this introduction is a clone of that commercial, and here's the claim:

If you were stranded on a desert island and needed one self-help book—one medical companion that would let you effectively and safely treat almost any health problem—this would be the book.

What you're holding in your hands is the print equivalent of a wonder drug: a remarkably powerful, all-purpose product with enough extra strength to heal millions of people, including yourself. You're holding the distilled experience and wisdom of hundreds of doctors and health professionals—their very best curative techniques for dozens and dozens of conditions and diseases. And these techniques—like a wonder drug—are simple, accessible, and virtually risk-free.

How was this wonder drug formulated? The editors of Prevention Magazine Health Books spent months interviewing medical experts and asking them for home remedies—for ways that our readers could treat their annoyances and ills themselves. And those experts answered. They told us 27 ways to cut cholesterol. Eighteen remedies for hemorrhoids. Thirty-eight ways to relieve the pain of a sting. Fourteen tips to muffle a shingles infection. In all, they shared with us over 2,300 methods for relieving over 130 problems—a cornucopia of cures.

I've been in the health journalism business for 14 years. I've written and edited thousands of articles and chapters; I've read hundreds of how-to books. And never—never—have I come across a more complete, practical collection of healing tips and techniques. So if you take one book to that desert island—or just want one healing companion in the island of your home—choose this one. The doctors we talked to would agree; it's truly wonderful.

For better health,

William Gottlieb
