Product Description
"The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health" is just what every traveller needs: a straight-forward look at what you can do to stay healthy during your travels, from start to finish. Whether headed to the urban centres of Africa or the jungles of Southeast Asia, there are precautions to be taken even before setting foot on a plane, as well as important things to remember once your travels are over."The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health" will also serve as a take-along guide to help deal with illnesses or symptoms that may arise while you're on the road and as a post-trip reference for any delayed symptoms. Aside from infectious diseases, Sanford also looks at the more common and overlooked problems travellers are likely to encounter, such as health risks in cities (pollution and motor vehicle accidents, for example), travelling if chronically ill or immuno-compromised, and high-altitude sickness. Each of the book's chapters includes a question-and-answer section based on real questions that Dr. Sanford's patients have asked him. General travellers, including students going abroad to study or backpack through the developing world and travellers who want to get off the beaten path as well as explore the cities of the world, will find this an invaluable resource.

The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health October 14, 2008
This is a must have book for anyone who travels - esp on the adventure circuit of the road less traveled. Dr Sanford is travel doctor which are hard to find, who runs a health clinic at the Univ of WA in Seattle. He is has the latest information on drug protocols by Region of the world. Great to hear all those old tonics and folk cures are out the window thanks to Dr Christopher Sanford. It is a small book and could be easily carried or sent to fellow world travelers. As a NW resident, I was thrilled to have this expertise in our own back yard and a doctor who cares enough to help many people with this valuable book.
A must for any health conscious traveler. August 9, 2008

While vacationing in other countries can be a fresh and exciting experience, a sudden injury can make one miss the skill of American doctors. "The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health" is a must-have for travelers who want to experience the world as a whole and not be held back by fears of health concerns. Also containing valuable information on traveling when one suffers from chronic illness or other similar ailments, "The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health" is a must for any health conscious traveler.
