When you see "health', do you think "medicine"? Have you the remotest idea what health is, or what your health service is trying to achieve? Does your doctor? This is a book that gives you answers to all that. Its author created "Good HealthKeeping" (www.goodhealthkeeping.co.uk), a service for health, which enabled its members to live their own lives competently and confidently with as little medical help as possible. The approach cut the cost of prescribing by more than half. And it threw up an entirely novel way of looking at health, and a perfectly manageable way for anyone to achieve it. It is a blueprint for a radical new policy for any Ministry of Health, and serves equally well as a personal how-to manual for everyone.
