Where There is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook

by David Werner with Carol Thuman and Jane Maxwell

• A widely-used health care manual that provides practical, easily understood information on how to diagnose, treat, and prevent common injuries and illnesses. Special attention is focused on nutrition, infection and disease prevention, and diagnostic techniques as primary ways to prevent and treat health problems.
• CAUTION: "This manual has drawings and discussions about a lot of things like STDs, birthing, diarrhea, hygiene, and does not always use ‘proper’ words (but words that are clearly understood). There are also discussions of birth control that are objectionable, it does not seem to speak against adultery, and recommends free (or low cost) abortion as the best means to avoid ‘dangerous’ abortions. There are also discussions of ‘fair’ distribution of resources to ensure improved health for everyone. The book is ‘frank’ on some matters that would generally require more delicate handling. It is simple, and written to the layperson." - Dr. David Miller
