This book is just ok to read, but some of the information in here goes way beyond the average layman or "dummy".It is somewhat useful and informative but not greatly so.There is nothing wrong with this book, just nothing that great about it.

I am a 78 year old physician being treated for hypertension. I found this book to be quite useful and informative.Because of the knowledge gained from this book I was able to suggest drug treatments to my physician.In addition to the drug treatment, the author recommmends nutritional choices. My blood pressure is now very well controlled on a dietary regime and prescribed medications that cost me ten cents a day. well controlled on a product that costs me ten cents a day.
