Mayo Clinic Family Health
Rating:
This purchase was to update a previous copy that was 6 yrs old. There were quite a few updates. It's a very inclusive Health book, and easy to find information quickly.
Inaccurate and Incomplete
Rating: 
Only one mention of the common and debilitating neuro-immune disease ME/CFIDS and it inaccurately refers to ME/CFIDS as a 'symptom' and that there is no evidence it is linked to candida. Not surprising since the Mayo Clinic has a long history of misdiagnosing and mistreating ME.
All you ever wanted to know!
Rating:
My recent purchase of two copies of the Mayo Family Health Book -- one for each of my two daughters' families -- reflects my enjoyment and confidence in that publication. My wife and I have had our own copy for quite awhile, and have found answers to most of our medical questions in it. And the considerable discounted price from Amazon is just icing on the cake!
Fantastic Purchase
Rating:
I am a very satisfied customer. The product meets my expectations and it was delivered promptly.
Too expensive and not informative
Rating:
I bought this and was very disappointed. The writing was difficult to comprehend (yes, I'm not a doctor, unlike other reviewers) and I couldn't easily figure out where to look in the book for different illnesses.
I returned the book and purchased the Merck Manual, saving over $10 and loads of time.
I would highly recommend you read a sample chapter before purchasing, which was my mistake.
