Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of hair loss and hair diseases. The average person has 5 million hairs. Hair grows all over the body except on the lips, palms and the soles of the feet. It takes about four months for healthy hair to grow an inch. Most hairs grow for up to six years and then fall out. New hairs grow in their place. Men - and some women - lose hair as they grow older. You can also lose your hair if you have certain diseases, such as thyroid problems, diabetes or lupus. If you take certain medicines or have chemotherapy for cancer, you may also lose your hair. Other causes are a low protein diet, a family history or poor nutrition.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.

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
