will tell you, this unique book is fascinating, informative, and very relevant to your life. You are eligible to preview it free and enjoy special “friend of the family” savings if you choose to keep it.
What makes this book so extraordinary is that every word on every page can benefit you.
The Johns Hopkins Medical Guide to Health After 50 gives you a “crash course” on more than 100 major medical concerns affecting men and women in the second half of life. It gives you the tools to understand the issues and to participate intelligently in your own care.
- I’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer. I want to consult a plastic surgeon before I begin treatment, but it takes weeks to get an appointment. Will the delay compromise the success of my treatment?
- My brother was told he has “impaired glucose tolerance,” but not diabetes. What does this mean? Will he eventually develop the disease? Can he do anything to prevent it?
- I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, which my doctor says affects at least half of all men over 50. Is it cancer? Will it lead to prostate cancer?
Preview this guide free for 30 days. See for yourself why this could be the most informative, useful, and reassuring book you own.
Because it was written for you, and not your doctors, this comprehensive reference anticipates your concerns and answers them in plain English.
- My eye doctor says those specks I see are floaters. What are floaters, and are they ever serious?
- I have heartburn so frequently I practically live on antacids. Can I do anything to prevent it, rather than just putting out the fire each time it strikes?
- My spouse is getting forgetful. How can we find out whether this is an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia that can be corrected?
What a relief to have this kind of medical information on hand when you need it! Reach for The Johns Hopkins Medical Guide to Health After 50 to learn when symptoms of dizziness are serious enough to warrant seeing a doctor. What questions to ask the doctor before having breast cancer surgery.
A resource like this was unthinkable until very recently.
Previous generations didn’t have a guide to the health issues we face after 50 because the average life expectancy wasn’t much longer than that.
Today, most Americans can expect to live well into our 80s, or beyond, thanks to medical advances, healthier lifestyles, and access to the best information.
The best information is yours in The Johns Hopkins Medical Guide to Health After 50. This unique book is the only comprehensive guide that focuses exclusively on the health issues of the second half of life.
Much of what you’ll find in The Johns Hopkins Medical Guide to Health After 50 was unknown to past generations. They didn’t know about controlling cholesterol or GERD. No one knew how to prevent diabetes or osteoporosis. And no one talked about erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence.
Today, we know that accurate, detailed information can help us make decisions that lead to a longer, healthier life.
We created The Johns Hopkins Medical Guide to Health After 50 to help you participate more fully in your own longevity. May we send you a FREE preview copy to enjoy without risk for 30 days?
