Praise for Dr. Neal’s Book:
“Few books written by health professionals can bridge the gap between providing comprehensive advice and information on a health issue and doing so in an interesting, readable and practically applicable manner. Dr. Schachter has achieved this and more.”
Dr. Peter G. Roy
“This book was very helpful. It was a good guide to what I can do to help myself when I get a cold or the flu and included ways to protect against contracting it (which I wasn't aware of until I had read it).”
S. Ginsberg
“A very informative and well-written book describing colds, flu, sinusitis, pneumonia and other common winter ailments. Dr. Schachter tells you what's happening with the ailment, how to treat it, and best of all, how to prevent it for the future. We find this book helpful in our household as parents of young children (and we've had plenty of colds in our house) and recommend it to other parents.”
A. LaSpina
“This is a very readable book that gives you the information your doctor often does not take the time to tell you. The Good Doctor's Guide to Colds and Flu is smart, practical and well researched. Not only does Dr.Schachter explain how to prevent and treat colds, he explains the science behind his advice. I also really liked the way he combined natural and traditional remedies. Excellent job!”
