Synopsis

Saving Yourself from the Disease-Care Crisis discusses the critical state of health care in America today and asks hard questions about the monopoly of conventional medicine that limits the options available to most consuemrs of medical services. This book also offers safe, simple treatments which have been effectively used to relieve suffering and reverse the effects of many of the ills produced by the modern American lifestyle. The science of medicine has for too long been excluding the art of medicine: a complementary approach offers a humane and effective solution to the current health care crisis, which should be available to everyone.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The following passage is an excerpt from a review on the website ... written by Andrew Saul, author of Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing that Works.

"Saving Yourself is a powerful presentation of common-sense medicine, by a medical doctor who has seen both sides... The authority with which Dr. Stoll writes is effortless, based on his decades of clinical observation of what consistently works with real patients.

Saving Yourself is much like having the doctor’s good sound advice, and his very pleasant bedside manner to boot, right on your bookshelf. I like this book. I like its no-nonsense attitude, the plentiful references to the scientific literature, and the practical how-to sections. These include instruction on how and why to avoid eating refined carbohydrates (p 147-8), how to choose a doctor (p 120-127), and what amounts to a lesson in "do it yourself triage" to determine when medical attention IS necessary (p 127-135). I also like how Dr. Stoll takes the time to personally recommend valuable natural health books by other authors all throughout the text, and in a fine Bibliography as well.

Saving Yourself provides a dozen chapters that specifically address many common conditions that are seen as difficult to cure medically but that respond well to drugless treatment. These include colds and flu; allergies; adult and children’s behavior disorders; atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease; Crohn’s disease, IBS and ulcerative colitis; endocrine conditions; fungal overgrowth; hiatus hernia; and arthritis. In a future edition, I would like to see this excellent section expanded to cover even more diseases.

Dr Stoll’s emphasis on effective cost-efficient health care, self-education, exercise and stress reduction receive my unqualified praise."
