Prevention and self-care are the watchwords for this hefty health manual by a Seattle physician whose practice combines conventional and alternative medicine. Golan examines the underlying causes of chronic ailments, which he dubs the Ten Common Denominators of Illness. Dietary hazards and nutritional deficiencies receive the greatest attention; most of the other sources of illness he lists are also diet-related, e.g., toxic bowel, food allergies. In another section, he offers an alphabetical list of 100 common ailments from abscesses to water retention, identifying symptoms, common causes and suggested treatments and preventive measures for each. While approaches to wellness occasionally include conventional medical treatment, most are recommendations for dietary changes, herbal remedies and nutritional supplements. Although Golan, who teaches naturopathic medicine, slights other alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic and massage, his holistic approach will appeal to those frustrated by the disease-oriented approach of conventional medicine.

Library Journal
Holistic physician Golan provides here a detailed compilation of self-care methods from both New Age and "age-old" approaches. His focus is on developing health rather than "fixing" disease. Chapters cover fasting, herbal therapies, acupuncture, homeopathy, natural immunity, improved diet, environmental health, and detoxification. Golan also includes a master symptom survey to identify conditions for which modern medicine has no cure, offering specific guidance in using alternative methods to create optimal wellness. This useful health reference is recommended for public libraries.-Valerie Vaughan, Hatfield P.L., Mass.
