Aclear-sighted, heartfelt, and humane story of the needless tests and treatments that cripple healthcare....as a guide to good medicine, it may help us get back to the essence of what good doctors do: be with patients in healing. --Samuel Shem, M.D., author of The House of God and The Spirit of the PlaceIn Hippocrates' Shadow, Dr. David H. Newman upends our understanding of the doctor-patient relationship and offers a new paradigm of honesty and communication. He sees a disregard for the healing power of the bond that originated with Hippocrates, and, ultimately, a disconnect between doctors and their oath todo no harm. Exposing the patterns of secrecy and habit in modern medicine's carefully protected subculture, Dr. Newman argues that doctors and patients cling to tradition and yield to demands for pills or tests. Citing fascinating studies that show why antibiotics for sore throats are almost always unnecessary; how cough syrup is rarely more effective than a sugar pill; and why CPR is violent, invasive--and almost always futile, this thought-provoking book cuts to the heart of what really works, and what doesn't, in medicine.

The lotion I have been looking for (aloe)
Scent: Aloe Vera, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The perfect lotion I have been searching for. It balances my sensitive skin of being both too dry and too oily, which in turn is helping my acne, and it’s a good size for a good price. Exactly what I need.

Great but heavily scented.
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value for the size. Cream was light and blended into skin quickly. Non-greasy. My only problem with it was the smell was pleasant but too strong for me. Ended up ordering the unscented.

My absolute favorite body lotion!
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
They stopped selling it in stores for a few years (I sent a complaint, because the newer ones in the fancy bottles are not good at all), then they brought it back (I bought bottles of it when it returned), and now it has disappeared from stores, again (or it is never in stock). So glad I can find it on Amazon. It's my favorite lotion and I have been using it for over 20 years. They kept the original formula for the most part - I cannot tell a difference. It keeps my skin soft without being greasy. It doesn't clog my pores and my skin is happy again. The smell is light and pleasant. Please don't ever get rid of it again!

It works
Scent: Fragrance-Free, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ok, Im older now. Everything in us girls changed as we age. Skin does to. Ichy, dry, uncomfortable in your own skin. So I saw this on Amazon, and got just to try. Wow!!! Easy to use, goes on smoothly. I don't know what's in that stuff but I know it works. My skin is so much better now. Give it a try. Take care.
