Description

Health is the main topic concerning everyone without exception—and it cannot be silenced or left vague. Ordinary doctors don’t want or can’t explain the situation correctly, and—most importantly—clearly and accessibly, while advertising medicines and medical services only confuses people further.

A. L. Myasnikov’s new book is unique. It is released in the year of his anniversary and contains the quintessence of his wide-ranging medical experience. The book is entirely devoted to solving health problems of an ordinary person and offers the doctor’s balanced and candid answers to all the most frequent questions asked to Dr. Myasnikov during his radio broadcasts and TV shows, in letters, and in phone calls to the editorial office.

For the first time, an authoritative doctor, Alexander Myasnikov by lineage—a hereditary physician—was able to convey clearly valuable medical information that is absolutely necessary but cannot be obtained anywhere else. That is probably why his first book “How to Live Longer Than 50 Years: An Honest Conversation with a Doctor about Medicines and Medicine” sells in print runs of 10 thousand copies.

At the same time, Dr. Myasnikov knows how to encourage a person, and sometimes even make them laugh, and he always instills confidence that everything will be fine with us.

If you can’t watch Dr. Myasnikov every Friday on the Rossiya TV channel, then this book is for you. If you don’t listen to Myasnikov every Wednesday on Vladimir Solovyov’s program—open this book. Everything most important and necessary to stay healthy while living in our country is here.
