This handy little reference book is written by a physician in response to the most frequently asked question by her patients: Why I have to take all these pills? Daphine A. Brown, MDs firsthand experience in her own medical practice taught her that many patients are troubled by the amount of medication they must take. She focuses her response on five of the most common diseases treated by doctors with prescription medication: high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, type II diabetes mellitus; peripheral vascular disease (a/k/a poor circulation), and osteoarthritis. Also included is a listing of nutritional supplements that have been used successfully by many patients. Dr. Browns final personal thoughts on BELIEVING and positive thinking, often ignored by patients, are powerful tools to set oneself on the path to both physical and spiritual wellness.
