Publisher's Synopsis
Here is a book of medical advice, traditional and nontraditional. Dr. Richard French lays out health suggestions that a doctor would like to leave for his family, his friends, his patients, acquaintances or anyone interested in a well-balanced approach to life and good health. Here, you will find prescriptions for keeping healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and also spiritually. This book attempts to integrate the care of the individual with some of our current social challenges. In the rapidly advancing fields of science and medicine, the costs of medical treatments are spiralling to the stratosphere. The keys to good health have remained relatively low in cost, and are reviewed in unique comprehensive fashion in this book. If Dr. Richard's prescriptions were widely taken to heart, a large segment of the healthcare-system juggernaut might be scaled back to reserve status. Dr. French draws on twenty-five years of medical practice and experience. He brings insights as a doctor, husband, father and member of the general community. The book offers a collection of essays on health, and an appendix of other essays derived from the author's interest in American history, world history and church history. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," still is valid today, regardless of our expanding array of 21st century medical technology. Spend a few evenings with this general doctor, and you may have less need to visit doctors in general.
