This remarkable consumer health title provides the insights essential for the lay reader to take personal control of their long term health and physical and emotional well being. The complexities and limitations of both modern medicine and alternative therapies are explained in a way that is entertaining and easy to understand. More importantly however, the book provides access to state-of-the-art advice, not only for effective diet and weight control, but also for side-stepping Syndrome X and other common serious illnesses. Using a patient-centred and evidence-based approach, it reflects the dramatic changes in the way medical care will be delivered in the future - as an equal and mutually respectful partnership, between the well informed patient and, hopefully, the well informed doctor. T McClelland is Clinical Head, Acute Medicine, at the Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand.
