The unique writing style of this book, which sets it apart from other books in this genre, is based upon: Comprehensiveness: In the variety of different topics, and depth of explanation. Foundation of Understanding: Every topic is built on a solid and gradual base of comprehension. Honesty: Complete and total honesty, with no dangerous or trendy gimmicks that temporarily achieve the illusion of benefit. Practicality and Realism: Theory alone is useless if it cannot be put to practical and realistic use, by everybody. Empowerment: Many, if not most, medical decisions made today are not based solely on sound medical practices. This book gives you the knowledge necessary to actively and intelligently participate in your health decisions. Intelligent, yet Readable: All books from "To The Point Honestly" are written with respect for the intelligence of the audience. Our audience is intelligent, but overwhelmed by both the volume of information and by time constraints. Any single chapter in this book could literally save your life, and there is something for everybody in here. If you truly want to learn about health and wellness, once and for all, and then be able to scratch this important topic off your "to do" list, then this is the book for you.
