Features: This book not only introduces how to seek medical treatment to help patients have a scientific approach to medical care and save money on medical expenses, but also elaborates on home testing, home diagnosis, and self-health assessment, enabling people to detect and treat diseases at an early stage. It covers more than 200 common internal, external, gynecological, pediatric, and other medical conditions, introducing both the latest advancements in prevention and treatment and emphasizing the use of homeopathic therapy, alternative therapies, daily life therapy, kitchen therapy, other simple therapies, and traditional Chinese medicine therapy to meet the healthcare and disease prevention needs of families with varying economic conditions in urban and rural areas under different circumstances.
Additionally, due to changes in the lifestyles of people in modern metropolises, some new urban diseases have emerged. Many people (including medical professionals) have limited understanding of the harms these diseases pose to health and are unfamiliar with their prevention and treatment methods. However, these topics are rarely covered in college or university medical textbooks, specialized medical books, or popular health education materials. To address this gap, the book provides extensive explanations. On one hand, it aims to raise awareness and importance among people, and on the other hand, it offers them some prevention and treatment methods. The book contains approximately 710,000 words and is divided into four chapters: General Principles, Internal and Pediatric Diseases, External and Gynecological Diseases, and Other Medical Conditions. Due to the detailed introduction of treatment methods for each disease, it provides people with more choices for home treatment. Even without access to Chinese or Western medications, people can use readily available materials (such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetables, fruits, and seasonings) and manual techniques to prevent and treat diseases.
Therefore, this book can serve as both a handbook and guide for family disease prevention and treatment and a classic reference tool. It is a medical classic book aimed at families, suitable for people of all levels for self-prevention and family treatment. It can also serve as a reference for medical professionals conducting home-based diagnosis and treatment.
Due to the rapid development of medicine and the haste in writing this book, coupled with the authors' limited experience and expertise, there will inevitably be inaccuracies and errors. We sincerely appreciate the criticism and corrections from experts and readers!
