"Seemingly Harmless Symptoms We Ignore--That Gets Us Killed!"

A lot of life threatening diseases have early warning symptoms, yet we ignore them, because we simply don't know any better! Countless lives lost, if only we knew even the most basic self-diagnosis techniques.

This is the mission of this book. To provide the non-medically trained individual the tools to aid you in detecting potential problems in your health and the health of your loved ones.

In most cases, its nothing. But what if it's life threatening? Do we wait until its too late?

In contrast, many exaggerate and think their health's are threatened, when it's just a simple infection. We don't want that neither.

By no means will this book replace professional, medical help. This book is but a means to help you understand your health, and self-diagnose better. It will also help you work with your physician much more effectively.
