Fix Elderly Health
This website and book promotes evidence-based medicine that-
- “ageing” and “old age” alone do not make you sick!
- older people can have spectacular improvements in their health with good holistic general medical care– treating delirium is just one example.
- never blame “old age” and “ageing” on illness and poor health!
Dr Peter Lipski retired Australian Geriatrician had over 40 years of experience treating complex frail older patients.
His book “YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS FAILING HEALTH. IS IT AGEING OR A TREATABLE CONDITION?” highlights treatable major geriatric medical syndromes. See Dr Lipski’s other website about ageing and health:
This book describes a generational change in our attitudes to “ageing” and how we treat older people.
The greatest change in Western Medicine in over 40 years!
Dr Lipski’s book and his 2007 White Paper describe the massive transformation in medical care needed now given the rapidly ageing population.
Many older people are denied proper medical care because their symptoms are commonly blamed inappropriately on “old age” rather than treatable medical conditions.
The Must have book if you have elderly parents, neighbours or friends!
Dr Lipski has lifted the lid on misdiagnosis, malnutrition and other harmful medical myths.

“Old age” is just a state of mind, it has no medical meaning!
“Old age” is something you should long for, not fear! I have always said that life begins at 90!
Never worry about ageing., it’s just a myth.
Don’t ever let anyone blame illness on “old age”
Remember you are never too old for good medical care!
