Product Description
These shocking facts are made clear—literally millions of people are developing common baldness and common grayness before they should—that is, prematurely; and that millions are afflicted needlessly with dandruff without realizing its significance. The reason is that the problems of common baldness, common grayness, and dandruff are not understood by the general public. In fact, they are not understood by barbers, beauticians, and most medical doctors as well! And as a result, widespread confusion and anxiety prevail, and superstition and quackery flourish.

Actually, as this book clearly explains, common baldness and common grayness can be checked when developing prematurely, and dandruff can be cured, but not with tonics, shampoos, scalp treatments, or other promising contrivances.

Here, for the first time, are the answers—answers to the questions about baldness and grayness which barbers, beauticians, and medical doctors are so often asked but were unable to answer adequately until now. Here are the answers written in plain, nontechnical language and guaranteeing nothing but the truth!

Read this revealing book and learn why one man may lose his hair at 32 and another have a full head of hair at 72. Find out why one woman may be gray in her 20’s and another have beautifully bright hair at 55. There are reasons, and the author explains for the first time what can and should be done about them.

Here are no medical miracles or claims, usually unsupported, but the plain, unvarnished truth!

Be the first—not the last—to know these startling new facts. They may very well change your life! Are thinning and graying hair problems of aging? Are they part of premature aging which has become a startling symptom of our times? Can we do anything to check them? Is dandruff merely a cosmetic problem? Or is it an indication of a body imbalance? Can dandruff truly be cured?

Revealing the answers to these and other problems which confront almost every man and woman, this amazing book enables you to meet effectively and with real knowledge the first indelible signs of “growing old.” ... Read more

Product Description
Ever need a fact or quotation on baldness? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "baldness," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in many unexpected examples for baldness, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster's Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org). ... Read more

Beware the Scam
Some very clever IT person has compiled all the Govt Health websites indexes, put them on a CD plus a programme to enable Internet access and called it an authorative Data source. Most of the websites included are not even relevant to the health topic ( in this case Hair Diseases and Hair Loss ). Even if you do find a relevant index, you will still need to search for the information you want, which may or may not be there. I imagine they use the same CD and change the name to " 21st Century Complete Medical Guide to ------- "( insert any disease ). I was also unable to access many of the files on the CD. I suggest you stick to Google searches, far cheaper and far more specific that this CD. ... Read more

Excerpt: Mohs surgery, also known as chemosurgery, created by a general surgeon, Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, is microscopically controlled surgery used to treat common types of skin cancer. It is one of the many methods of obtaining complete margin control during removal of a skin cancer (CCPDMA complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment.) using frozen section histology. CCPDMA or Mohs surgery allows for the removal of a skin cancer with very narrow surgical margin and a high cure rate. The cure rate with Mohs surgery cited by most studies between 97% and 99.8% for primary basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer. Mohs procedure is also used for squamous cell carcinoma, but with a lower cure rate. Two isolated studies reported cure rate for primary basal cell cancer as low as 95% and 96% (see discussion on "Why is the Cure Rate so Varied?). Recurrent basal cell cancer has a lower cure rate with Mohs surgery, more in the range of 94%. It has been used in the removal of melanoma-in-situ (cure rate 77% to 98% depending on surgeon), and certain types of melanoma (cure rate 52%). Another study of melanoma-in-situ revealed Mohs cure rate of 95% for frozen section Mohs, and 98 to 99% for fixed tissue Mohs method. Other i...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4581384 ... Read more
