BETTER BLACK HEALTH IS COMING
COMING IN THE SUMMER 2025 “Everyone assumes that the poor health of the Black community is due to either bad habits, poverty, or a combination of both. In reality, the situation we see is a result of ignored genetic differences, environmental exposures, poor physician knowledge, and systemic oppression.” Greg Hall, MD
“Better Black Health: A Comprehensive Guide in the Age of Precision Medicine” addresses health disparities within the African American community. It argues that while humans are largely genetically similar, nuanced differences exist that require a race-conscious approach to healthcare. The authors explore the historical context of medical racism and distrust, emphasizing the need for culturally competent care. The book covers a wide range of health topics relevant to African Americans, including mental and physical health, family health, specific diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.), surgical considerations, and the role of nutrition and natural remedies. This informative reference has over 200 images and should be on every Black family’s coffee table. It highlights the unique challenges faced by African Americans, such as higher rates of certain diseases, differences in medication response, and the impact of stress and environmental factors. The book advocates for a holistic approach, incorporating both conventional and alternative medicine while emphasizing the importance of patient empowerment, education, and community support. Ultimately, it aims to empower African Americans to take control of their health and achieve better outcomes.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Detailed information on common diseases and their distinct manifestations in African Americans.
- An examination of the history of medical racism and its lasting effects on trust in doctors and medicine.
- Practical advice on nutrition, lifestyle, and natural remedies.
- Guidance for navigating the healthcare system and advocating for your needs.
