This book is primarily for those who consider themselves healthy or who have "minor" problems such as an elevated blood pressure, borderline diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and for those who want to bring their weight under control in a rational way! Those on prescription drugs for angina, hypertension, diabetes, claudication or generalized atherosclerosis should not try to doctor themselves.
