Synopsis

In 'The Must-Have Health Guide', Dr Margaret Stearn blows the lid off the myth that there are some disorders that are simply unmentionable. Her no-nonsense, straight-talking approach to an A-Z of 'embarassing' conditions dispels anxiety in favour of reassurance, encourages action in place of apathy and combats ignorance with knowledge. Acne, bottoms, impotence, lumps, piles, sex, ... little escapes her expert attention. 'The Must-Have Health Guide' is a book for all of us. Fact-filled and bubbling with practical advice, it frees us from the isolation of believing we must suffer alone and sets us on the path to peace of mind and good health.
