About this title

Synopsis

Natural approaches to maintaining or restoring overall well being. Chapters are devoted to the health concerns of particular importance to African-Americans such as heart disease & diabetes.

Reviews

Walker, an internist/acupuncturist, and Singleton, a professor of medicine at Howard University, have written a self-help book addressed to what they see as the health problems of African Americans: stress, obesity, poor diet, not enough exercise, and too much alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Their advice is a fine amalgam of Western biomedicine and Eastern natural medicine, emphasizing taking control of one's own health, eating carefully, and using nutritional supplements and body/mind procedures to achieve a state of good health and well-being. Although their suggestions are wise, none seems particularly unique to African Americans; we are, after all, pretty much the same physiologically. An index and citations to the studies mentioned would have been helpful, but this book is clearly written and consolidates a good deal of information in one place. It should therefore find a wide audience in public libraries.?Helene Selin, Hampshire Coll. Lib., Amherst, MA
