Medical self-help books: how reliable are they?
 
Many people spend lots of money each year purchasing so-called medical self-help books that often suggest extraordinary and unsubstantiated claims that are not supported by scientific studies. We find vendors selling books on certain stalls near railways, on buses.... selling 'Gherelu Nuska' (home remedies). They should not be adhered to as it may help you but , are not the right options.

Remember: Be careful before trusting such sources of information for your health problems
