"You don't have to be old to write about aging, but it helps, especially if you're also a talented and experienced reporter. The Healthy Geezer puts some very worthwhile material into first-person prose that speaks directly to our readers. We have tried, and quickly abandoned, a lot of syndicated material, but Fred's pieces read as though they were written especially for us."
James Hood, editor, ConsumerAffairs.com, Washington, DC

From a reader
Mr.Cicetti,
I recently read your article in our local news magazine entitled, "Skin Problems." Thank you for such a well-written and informative article.
I had been concerned about a spot on my husband's shoulder for several months and, after reading your article on Sunday, I made an appointment for him to be checked the following week. Thankfully, his was only a basal-cell carcinoma in a very early stage.
I will be keeping your article as a reference for future questions and I thank you again for writing it.
Sincerely,
Betsy Henderson
"The majority of our readers are senior citizens. The information we publish each week in Fred Cicetti’s column The Healthy Geezer is invaluable to them. It is one of the very few sources of unbiased, unvarnished, honest, and critically important news on a topic of paramount importance to all of them: their health. In a world where politics trumps science, and medicine is the handmaid of commerce, The Healthy Geezer is one of the last bastions of common sense advice on what seniors can do to better manage their own well-being."
David Detmold, editor, Montague Reporter, Massachusetts
"The Healthy Geezer has been a positive addition to our Seniors Today section of our newspapers. Fred writes clearly about issues facing senior citizens as they age and the problems they will eventually face, and he does so in a way that is neither condescending nor patronizing."
Rob Seitzinger, editor, Catamaran Media, New Jersey

The Q&A format also gives our readers an opportunity to have their concerns addressed confidentially, particularly if the topics are of a sensitive nature."
Dennis Forney, publisher, Cape Gazette, Delaware
