This book is a keeper because you can read it from time to time to see what is recommended to do when something ails you. I love the index because you don't have to do a blind search. The information seems reliable. To put things in perspective, even though I would recommend this book as a gift for a newly-wed couple, I would also recommend it to anyone. I am 54 years old and have been married for 30 years. I found quite a bit of information that was useful and new to me. I rarely keep hard-back books in my house due to clutter, but this is one that I will keep. Both my husband and I plan to use it as a resource when we are avoiding medication or medication is not working.
