An Ounce of Prevention - Especially for Women, though well-received, has created a clamour for a book that addressed male health concerns specifically. The discipline of writing a weekly column in the premier Jamaican daily newspaper, the Gleaner for over fifteen years has been very useful. It has caused me to focus on presenting a clear and practical message on specific issues of health and wellness in approximately a thousand words. This book, An Ounce of Prevention - Mainly for Men is a compilation of those messages with the male reader particularly in mind. Some important topics in the earlier book that apply to both men and women have been updated and presented along with new subjects in four sections titled: Healthy Ideas, Healing Agents, Danger Areas and Common Complaints. A fifth section - Male Issues - focuses exclusively on matters of relevance to men. Close to 100 subjects are covered in these five sections. Like the previous volumes, each chapter in this book can be read by itself in any order and it delivers a simple massage on that particular subject. Subject headings are in alphabetical order for easy access. References have been simplified and medical jargon kept to a minimum. The appendix and the useful references section provide support information.

Presents the latest recommendations on how to prevent or correctly diagnose problems, as well as the pros and cons of various mainstream and alternative medicine treatment options.

Since the publication of the first edition, the U.S. Surgeon General released the first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis in October 2004. This report focuses even more attention on the devastating impact osteoporosis has on millions of lives. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2 million American men have osteoporosis, and another 12 million are at risk for this disease. Yet despite the large number of men affected, the lack of awareness by doctors and their patients puts men at a higher risk that the condition may go undiagnosed and untreated. It is estimated that one-fifth to one-third of all hip fractures occur in men. This second edition brings on board John Bilezikian and Dirk Vanderschueren as editors with Eric Orwoll. The table of contents is more than doubling with 58 planned chapters. The format is larger – 8.5 x 11. This edition of Osteoporosis in Men brings together even more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field, and describe state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy. - Brings together more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field - Describes state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy - There is no book on the market that covers osteoporosis in men as comprehensively as this book
