Summary: Important Information Nicely Summarized
Review: As a person seeking medical treatment you must follow your doctor's advise. So the most important thing for you to do is to find and utilize the expertise of a good doctor.Having said that knowledge is power. Here is a book written by a well qualified medical expert that communicates up to date knowledge and cures for a number of common medical problems and the current state-of-the-art on treating these conditions. Knowledge is power and this is an excellent place to start. Recommend. Jack in Toronto

Summary: terrific self help guide
Review: DR. ISADORE ROSENFELD'S BREAKTHROUGH HEALTH 2004 is a tremendous guide book that provides easy to follow insight on a variety of health topics (apparently 167 areas, but actually more as the author spins related subject into the text) Each section is sub-divided into a comment on what helps, what is new, and the bottom line. This reviewer did not read the entire book as many of the 167 subjects have no interest to me or my family. Instead I selected specific items of personal concern either amidst myself, my spouse, son, or parental sibling history that I also know enough about to be dangerous. The write ups on high blood pressure, weight loss, high cholesterol, Alzheimer's, stroke, and heart conditions, etc. were enlightening and, most important, it is easy to understand what Dr. Rosenfeld is saying. Some of the information is surprising like a comparative analysis of two high risk groups using Dr. Atkins' diet vs. an American heart Association diet, though the long term effect remains unknown but the author adds his spin of be smart and use the best from both or the benefits of almonds. This is a terrific self help guide that already contains rabbit ears and situated on the front of my keeper shelf at least until perhaps Dr. Rosenfeld provides the 2005 update. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld's Breakthrough Health 2004: 167 Up-to-
Review: In this age of information explosion, the reporting of medical research breakthroughs to the public often creates conflicting headlines. We wonder whether we're getting the best care, the newest medicines, and the most effective treatments for whatever it is that ails us. If you've been looking for one source you can trust for the most accurate, up-to-date health and medical information, Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld's Breakthrough Health is it. In this volume, the first in a yearly series, America's favorite doctor describes the most important, up-to-the-minute medical discoveries in a convenient, easy-to-read format. Dr. Rosenfeld treats his readers as if they were his own patients, explaining in simple yet concrete terms everything from Alzheimer's disease to vascular disease. He distills the most relevant information from piles of research only a doctor could understand. For example, are you aware that there's a common, over-the-counter drug that may help prevent breast cancer? Do you know about the blood test that can indicate vulnerability to heart attacks and stroke even when all other predictors are normal? You've heard that eating fish reduces your risk of heart disease, but does it really contain too much mercury? You'll find the answers in these pages, along with many other safe, practical, bottom-line insights--advice that will help you live a long and healthy life.

Summary: Missed opportunities
Review: This book is a complete failure when it comes to educating the people reading it. On numerous occasions Dr. Rosenfeld failed to alert the reader to the risk of serious health problems resulting from a disease he was discussing. Specifically, when he wrote about GERD. Dr. Rosenfeld never mentioned how serious this disease is, left untreated. It is fairly common knowledge that continued episodes of GERD will wear away the lining of the esophagus and lead to cancer. A cancer that is nearly always fatal. I was very disappointed with this book! Very little of what was written in this book isn't already common knowledge!

Summary: Hard to read, hasn't arrived yet
Review: This looks to be an excellent book, but I strongly recomend you buy it somewhere other than Amazon (unless you have 4-6 weeks to wait)
I ordered it as a gift more than a month ago and have yet to get it. The other book I ordered with it finally arrived sans the gift wrapping I opted for. Well, at least IT came.
