An M.D."s Life-Saving Health Solutions: A Gynecologist"s Advice

"A simple health guide you can trust with your life." Health care—especially as we age—is somewhat different for women than for men. Women are concerned with looking and feeling young, finding safe responses to the hormonal changes in their bodies—from periods to PMS—and eating and living in a wholesome, “correct” way. An M.D.’s Life-Saving Health Solutions is Dr. Schaller’s best attempt to save a third generation of women from misguided, in-competent, or inadequate management of the second half of life. After four decades of clinical experience and sixty-five years of studying issues especially important to women, Dr. Schaller addresses all major areas of concern—from basic gynecological issues to those practices that lead to healthy longevity. Like sitting together for an appointment, Dr. Schaller clearly explains everything from cholesterol ratios and hormonal issues to preventing heartburn, heart disease, and high blood pressure. He also suggests which supplements and medications may either be helpful or harmful to your health, as well as effective later-life hormone replacement strategies. Speaking for thousands of healthcare providers—who do not speak out for fear of reprisal—Dr. Schaller also blows the whistle on the “cholesterol myth”—and various other health scams, which put over $600 billion each year into the coffers of the heart disease industry, the statin makers, the food producers, the nutrition, diet and fitness entrepreneurs—as well as exposes the dangers of many prescription drugs. Even those who are “perfectly healthy,” and plan to stay that way, might benefit from reviewing Dr. Schaller’s experienced advice, and ensure themselves there is “no fatal fly in their health ointment.” Dr. Schaller retired in 2000, after 42 years of clinical practice in Obstetrics-Gynecology. His plan: to devote the last decades of his life to writing about those women’s healthcare issues he believed were being mismanaged, poorly managed, and in the case of hormone replacement therapy, even ignored. In 1962 then-Captain Schaller, in the Army Medical Corps, received a Commendation Medal for his work as Public Health Officer for the American Military in the Seine (Paris) Command and as the American Physician-on-site for the Supreme Headquarters for the Allied Powers in Europe, located in Versailles, France (SHAPE). The author and his wife of 55 years, Marianne, presently reside in The Villages, Florida.
