a first-rate guide

I read this cover-to-cover in only a few sittings, which should suggest one way it stands out: Most health-care books aren't nearly this readable. Dr. Bell makes his points clearly, using lots of anecdotes and colorful language, and he provides numerous easy-to-follow suggestions. Perhaps most important, he's highly credible throughout. He sticks to evidence-based medicine and explains what definitely works, what might work and what does not work when it comes to maintaining and improving health. If you follow even one of the book's many suggestions, you'll more than get your money's worth.

A common sense guide to good health

Dr. Bell's Wellness Prescriptions ia a clear and easily digested book providing a common sense guide to good health. The book contains the latest medical research and provides real life examples that make it an easy read. Readers learn that they have far more control over their health than they might think. It was nice to hear from a Dr. who clearly would rather educate you than treat you.
