Before the Heart Attacks from Rodale Books Price: $16.07 Customer Review:  This book was obsolete a year ago. The current cutting-edge medical literature does not sing the same tune as the author does. The author owns a big cholesterol laboratory/clinic.

The Stroke Recovery Book: A Guide for Patients and Families from Addicus Books Price: $14.95 Customer Review:  Overall, a solid book, but could be a lot more comprehensive. It just doesnt cover all of the issues. (I was still left with questions). I recommend the book by Joel Stein, MD, called Stroke and the Family, which is very understandable, but has more information. |
