Body systems info/book?

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

 

In my new health education, I've been trying to find a book (or more)

that will teach me the basics of how our bodies work. I find many

specific issues and topics that cover portions of our body systems (for

example, I might find something that describes how yeast impacts our

digestive and/or blood system) - but I can't yet find something like a

" bodies for dummies " book that will give me a good foundation and

overview into how human bodies function.

 

I'm specifically looking to educate myself enough that I can begin to

understand what makes sense for me, and what does not, in all the

allopathic and alternative medical offerings out there. For instance,

if I'm reading up on blood pressure, I'd like to know enough about

general body systems to understand how a remedy might actually work,

and, I'd like to know enough to understand WHY my body is or isn't

changing toward greater health, based on various things I'm doing.

 

I'm continuing to learn more medical lingo, but a book (or more) that

is fairly easy for a layperson to understand would be ideal.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

Jent
