Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Healthiness : Dr. Dean’s Commonsense Guide for Anything That Ails You by Dean Edell

30-Aug-04

I didn’t know who Dr. Dean was, but apparently he’s on TV. This book was quite informative, but I felt it was more of a reference book than a front-to-back-reading type of books.
