DEAR DR. GOTT: I really enjoy your news column. I am interested in your newsletters and would like information and pricing on a yearly subscription.
DEAR READER: I do not offer a yearly subscription because I don’t offer monthly reports. For example, you may not be interested in vitamins and minerals but may want to learn more about hypertension. By selecting the specific category you are seeking, you will not be burdened by receiving something in which you have no interest and might choose to discard without even reading.
I update my Health Reports on a periodic basis. I was recently advised that the fulfillment center I used in the past, which by the way was a genuine dream to work with, was instructed to use all old reports in inventory and not to print new material until all old reports were used up. This will no longer be the case. I want to assure readers they will receive the newest information I have available when they log on to my site at www.AskDrGottMD.com and click on “Health Reports” to print out an order form for forwarding through the U.S. mail system. Orders should include a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report payable to Peter H. Gott, M.D., P.O. Box 433, Lakeville, CT 06039. They will be shipped within two days of receipt of the request if accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope and the appropriate fee.
You bring up an interesting topic — informational literature and possible yearly subscriptions. This is something I had not previously considered but should, perhaps, give some serious thought to. Each month recognizes an awareness of such topics as diabetes, heart issues, breast cancer and a great deal more. For example, July is devoted to UV safety and juvenile-arthritis awareness. Piece of cake! The more I think about it, the more I like the idea, and I have you to thank. Look for this free monthly column, on my website only, starting July 1. Keep writing and, above all, keep reading.
