THE SALAD AND SALMON AND SALAD DIET,  RONALD L. HOFFMAN, M.D.
      

   A diet frequently discussed on WOR radio's HEALTH TALK and one which Dr.
Hoffman prescribes often to his patients.  The diet is extremely beneficial
for weight loss, cholesterol and blood-pressure reduction, and for diabetes 
control.  It may help minimize allergies in some patients.  It is enjoyable  
and easy to follow and centers on delectable "spa cuisine".
