Giving medical advice, much like legal advice, opens you up to liability.

  Not a lawyer. But as far as I know, only if you are providing medical services. I don't think a book would rise to that level. If it did, no professionals would ever write about medical issues for fear of being sued when their hypothesis don't work, or have side effects. Now, if you were a health care provider and told your patients to read this book and do everything it tells you, you could probably sue the doctor. But not the author.

  At an interpersonal level yes, but if you publish the same bad advice in a book you're fine.
