After more than three decades as one of the world’s premier sources for authoritative, trustworthy health information, The People’s Pharmacy delivers its most groundbreaking resource yet, identifying best choice treatments for the medical conditions that smart health-care consumers most want to know about.
What makes a treatment a "best choice"? The designation draws on a combination of factors, including effectiveness, safety, and cost. Depending on the condition, the best choices may be home remedies, lifestyle strategies, herbal or nutritional supplements, over-the-counter or prescription drugs—or, in many cases, a combination of all of these.
Best Choices from The People’s Pharmacy is the first book to present such a wide range of treatment options and evaluate them side by side. Inside you'll find:
- Remedies for dozens of health concerns, from acne to weight loss
- Thumbnails that offer at-a-glance descriptions of the best choices—complete with vital information on possible side effects and approximate cost
- Remedy ratings that allow you to compare the treatment options for each condition with ease
- The People’s Pharmacy Favorite Picks—a selection of self-care strategies, tested and recommended by People’s Pharmacy fans
Best Choices from the People’s Pharmacy is the latest work from Joe and Terry Graedon, whose incisive investigation and reporting of all aspects of health care has earned them a worldwide audience. The Graedons have culled their best choices through careful review of current scientific research, as well as testimonials from their legion of People’s Pharmacy readers and listeners. And they present these treatments to you in the accessible, practical style that The People’s Pharmacy is acclaimed for. Armed with this information, you can make the best choice for you.
Donde no hay doctor by: David Werner 6 used from $16.99 5 Thirdparty New from $20.00 Edition: 2nd Media: Paperback EAN: 9780942364019 ISBN: 0942364015 Number Of Pages: 455 Publication Date: 1995-09-25 Publisher: Hesperian Foundation
Product Description: Hesperian's classic manual, Donde no hay doctor (Where There Is No Doctor in Spanish), is perhaps the most widely used health care manual for health workers, clinicians, and others involved in primary health care delivery and health promotion programs around the world. With millions of copies in print in more than 70 languages, the book is an irreplaceable health resource in communities worldwide.
As with all Hesperian books, the manual provides practical, easily understood information on how to diagnose, treat, and prevent common diseases. Special attention is focused on nutrition, infection and disease prevention, as well as the use of diagnostic techniques as primary ways to prevent and treat health problems.

Product Description: This book and CD package is similar in design to other books in the Paso a Paso Series for Health Care Professionals. This package is specifically for mental health workers attempting to break through language and cultural barriers between English- and Spanish- speaking participants. The suggested application is a small group setting in the workplace in which a fluent Spanish speaker serves as a facilitator at one hour sessions held once a week. The learner is expected to work daily on exercises and practice listening and responding to the CD.
The premise is that the beginning learner will not be alone in a situation where a conversation is beyond their ability; the novice speaker will be part of a team and will acquire greater competency through active, on-the-job speaking and listening.
All too often non-English-speaking newcomers are isolated, separated from the family support systems they once enjoyed in their native countries. They are overwhelmed and don't realize assistance is available to address the depression, anger, and frustration they are feeling. This handbook and CD set will help mental health and social workers reach across the language barriers to help their clients.
Product Description: HEALTH / THERAPY / VESTIBULAR / PATIENT HANDOUTS.
Balance disorders and dizziness are among the most common reasons for falls to occur in our aging population. It is estimated that almost 85% of these falls involve the vestibular system. However, with correct assessment and proper treatment (Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy), first falls and repeat falls can be prevented for balance-disordered people.
Dr. Marian Girardi has studied and compiled important data to assess and treat vestibular disfunctions. She has documented and grouped this valuable information into an easy-to-understand format to include:
Anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system. Identifying the patient with vestibular problems. Assessment tools for vestibular diagnosis. Risk and safety factors for falls. Treatment using VRT (Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy). VRT exercises for vision, head and eye movements to improve and maintain long-term balance and gait. 22 reproducible patient handouts for easy duplication.
A valuable resource book for healthcare students, therapists, and professionals.

This book, with its three enclosed audio compact discs, is designed to help doctors, nurses, and medical assistants communicate in Spanish with Latino patients and their families who have little or no command of English. Every Spanish word in the book is followed by its phonetic pronunciation. The book also provides easy-to-follow tips on understanding colloquial spoken Spanish. Author William Harvey concentrates on words and phrases likely to be used in a medical setting. True-to-life dialogues dramatize situations pertaining to pregnancy, broken bones, pediatric care, heart and lung diseases, pharmacy prescriptions, drug problems, medical treatment of accident and crime victims, and much more. Dialogues on the CDs closely follow the books text, thus providing better listening comprehension. The CDs replace the cassette tapes offered in earlier editions.
Product Description: Wiley's English-Spanish, Spanish-English Dictionary of Psychology and Psychiatry is the only book of its kind. It provides concise, comprehensive, and current coverage of virtually every word or phrase used in the study and practice of psychiatry and psychology. This unique and useful resource contains more than 62,000 entriesâ30,000 plus in each languageâcovering all disciplines and subdisciplines, both research and clinical. The equivalents provided are designed to be understood by a majority of fluent speakers, especially those trained in these fields.
This dictionary's extremely user-friendly format directs you instantly to the precise equivalent you need without first "rerouting" you through a maze of other irrelevant terms and phrases. Gender-neutral equivalents are provided, and in cases where the gender-specific term is the norm, both are given. For idiomatic expressions, conceptual equivalents are provided rather than literal translations. Phrases that begin with the same word or words are provided as separate entries, and the same is true for words that serve more than one grammatical function (e.g., articulate).
This indispensable tool encourages and facilitates the sharing of ideas across linguistic, cultural, and international boundaries. For psychiatrists, psychologists, students, translators, and interpreters who need quick, easy access to equivalent terms in Spanish and English, there is simply no other source.
