Features: The "Health Bible" follows an encyclopedic format, pursuing systematicity, authority, and scale, which naturally results in limited practicality and convenience. In recent years, as China's medical insurance system reform has begun implementation, people have expressed a desire to learn more about specific knowledge regarding disease prevention and treatment to achieve disease control, promote health, and rationally plan medical expenses. Since the publication of "The Health Bible," some readers have suggested that we compile another practical reference book on health care. To meet readers' demands, we first divided the natural process of disease prevention and treatment for the general public into five stages: symptom onset, self-initial assessment, seeking medical attention, diagnosis, and treatment. Then, following this framework and the needs of patients at different stages, we reorganized, supplemented, and revised the content of "The Health Bible," resulting in the current "Color Atlas for Self-Assessment of Human Diseases."
The integrated and enriched "Color Atlas for Self-Assessment of Human Diseases" retains the advantages approved by Mr. Li Liming, namely, while emphasizing the introduction of modern medical diagnostic methods, it further highlights the practical effectiveness of traditional Chinese health preservation. The concise and profound text, combined with lifelike photos and illustrations, makes the content more vivid and intuitive, showcasing the strengths of popular science books. Additionally, the book's practicality and search functionality have been strengthened. We have strived to anticipate readers' needs and arrange the content from their perspective. Our goal is to help readers identify symptoms, find corresponding treatments, and locate appropriate medical professionals, making this book an essential reference for general medical treatment, health care, and well-being.
