- If you read this section of my column regularly, you know by now that
- this is where you can find a veritable treasury of publications, that provide
- valuable and useful information about your health care. However, I have saved
- the very best as a sort of Christmas present for all of you, and this find is
- certainly one that may benefit everyone. It is the 10th anniversary edition
- of the Bristol-Myers "Guide to Consumer Information" and it is newly revised.
- Now, this is no mere information leaflet, or brochure, but a real, live, 272
- page book, chock full of helpful information about prescription and
- nonprescription drugs, hair colorings, nutritional products, personal care
- products and appliances, and poison control centers. In addition to the
- "Medical Resource Directory", the (underline) Guide (underline) includes new
- chapters on "Timesaving Tips for a Cleaner Home", "Coping With Pain", and
- "Looking Your Best". They have even included terrific information on writing
- an effective complaint letter! Many medical conditions are covered including:
- AIDS, Alcoholism, Alzheimer's Disease, Anorexia/Bulimia, Arthritis, Cancer,
- Diabetes, Digestive Disorders, Hearing Impairment, Heart Disease, Kidney
- Disease, Liver Disease, Osteoporosis and many more too numerous to mention.
- Not the least important are the lists of national, nonprofit or government
- organizations which provide information and services to patients, families and
- the public. And it is provided at no charge to you, no stamped envelopes, no
- gimmicks and no tricks. It may sound too good to be true, but it is
- Christmas! Don't delay on this one, send your request today, including your
- name and address DIRECTLY to: Bristol-Myers Company Guide to Consumer
- Product Information, Box 14177AB, Baltimore, Maryland 21268. Take it from Dr.
- B., this is one of the best things I have done for you all year.
