Common Cures for Common Ailments
Common Cures for Common Ailments is an invaluable home reference book that will allow every reader to assume more understanding and control over his or her health. It will be even more valuable for people with families, because many of the common ailments covered in this book can be as distressing to others as the person who has them.
About half the population of the United States-100 million people-suffer from colds and flus every year, and another 65 percent is at this very moment stricken with some form of superficial fungal infection, such as athlete’s foot or ringworm. Almost every teenager suffers from acne and approximately 65 percent have skin blemishes severe enough to require medical treatment. The common ailments are very common indeed, and millions of dollars are invested every year to promote thousands of “cures” for these ailments to the American public. The trouble is so many of the over-the-counter products contain ingredients that are unnecessary (and add to the cost) or that they have side effects to be avoided. How in the world is the layman going to choose the right cure if most doctors themselves are unfamiliar with many of the products?
