Living Beyond Breast Cancer Go here to keep up to date on issues related to breast cancer. Dr. Marisa Weiss, a practicing oncologist whose specialty is helping breast cancer patients, has created a comprehensive, trustworthy web site devoted to the needs of breast cancer patients, their families, friends and anyone who wants to know more about this disease. Dr. Weiss is the author of the best selling book, LIVING BEYOND BREAST CANCER. She is practical, insightful, straightforward, articulate and knowledgeable about all areas of medicine. However, her empathetic and no-nonsense approach to issues related to breast cancer make this my favorite site for getting up to date information. If nothing else, go to the site to read her response to the crazy internet email letter that says anti-perspirants cause breast cancer.

Covert Bailey Fitness
After a distinguished career as an author and one of the best edutainers in
the health and fitness business, Covert Bailey has retired. Happily I have
his endorsment that I am suitable to carry on the lecture business he left
behind. Additionally, I market books and videos formerly sold at Covert Bailey
Fitness (www.covertbailey.com). Covert and I had a
challenging and productive professional relationship and friendship off and
on since I first heard him lecture in 1982. I most enjoyed the lengthy
brainstorming sessions that resulted in the new ideas and approaches to
explaining metabolism in lectures, producing a PBS series, developing Fit
or Fat licensing programs, co-authoring a best selling book, and capturing
charisma to market the most successful piece of home exercise equipment to
hit the infomercial scene! I was challenged in many ways
in his good company as I strived to give my best to him and his
organization where I learned much about nutrition, fitness and life!!

Dr. Dean Edell
This is the site for Dr. Dean Edell, the hugely popular radio personality
whose daily show is, for me, the most honest, straightforward, no bull,
medical information site on the internet. Dean Edell is funny, frank and
compassionate physician who is not afraid to take on the medical
establishment, the health and fitness industry, the media, health scams and
more. He tells you what has been scientifically proven and what has not. He
provides breaking news about medical breakthroughs and, using common sense,
provides information you can trust. This man is, for me, a hero!!

place when you're looking for up-to-date medical information. The site
