The 21st Century Complete Medical Guide to Obesity and Weight Control, Dieting, Nutrition, Fat, Meal Plans and Activities: Authoritative Federal Government . Information for Patients and Physicians

This up-to-date and comprehensive CD-ROM provides the best collection available anywhere of official Federal government information and documents on obesity and weight control. Every aspect of this medical condition is thoroughly covered: Dieting, Nutrition, Fat, Meal Plans and Activities. There is no other obesity reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable – everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust!

For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. Documents from the Centers for Disease Control, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the FDA are included.

A unique feature is the inclusion of the results of two database searches for the term "obesity" using the Combined Health Information Database (CHID) and National Library Of Medicine PUBMED, with a combined total of over 15,000 clinical and medical research citations on the topic.

Since navigating the Internet to find non- governmental medical information is confusing and difficult, we've also provided an exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites" with links to 80 of the best sites for general health and medical information! A second guide provides links to specific sites with obesity information.

As a bonus, this CD also includes the complete collection of over 400 National Institutes of Health (NIH) consumer health references. Another section provides helpful consumer anti-fraud information from the FDA and FTC. In all, the disc has nearly 30,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD.

Our CD-ROMs are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. Vast archives of important government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review.
