The truth about health and healing!
Common sense instruction about many health ailments using natural approaches. Teachings that the pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know! Because if you turn away from their recommendations of their pharmaceutical drugs, they lose money! And for them, that is the bottom line, with no regard to your health! I used to be an RN but did not like what I saw going on in the medical arena; shutting dow the body's symptoms (it's messages to us telling us what is wrong) with harsh chemical drugs! With that being said, I do believe our emergency medical treatment is the best in the world! We just miss the boat when it comes to teaching preventative medicine and listening to the body when illness does arise. There are many good doctors out there just passing on what they have been taught by the pharmaceutical companies, who write a MAJOR portion of the curriculum that is taught in medical school. I appreciate that this doctor has character and integrity and was will to look beyond his traditional medical training to see that using natural remedies is the way the body was designed to heal! GREAT BOOK!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great purchase; wonderful book!
Thrilled to find such a good copy of this book! And it came in time for Christmas which was great as I gave it as a gift. For the record no parent should be without this book; written by a retired doctor he gives you a good does of professional common-sense...so rare in today's medical world. Definitely a keeper! And if you can find a great copy even better! I couldn't be better pleased with my purchase!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The title says it all.
Within the covers of this book, you learn other optional ways, to have a healthy child, in spite of what of the mainstream literature constantly tells us. In other words there are more ways to have a strong and healthy child, such as a nutrient-rich diet. By doing so the chances of your child being sick, decreases, along with his or her chances of dying from different viruses or bacteria. For parents and their children to be happy, you should always start with a simple, mostly raw food diet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A practical book
My mother-in-law loaned me this book while I was pregnant. I found it so helpful especially my husband who gets very concerned for the kids when they get a slight temperature. I prefer treating naturally and avoiding drugs This book is full of practical advice from a licensed pediatrician who has learned from his own experience and mistakes. My husband is much more comfortable trying home remedies that are recommended by someone who was trained in the medical field!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A book all parents need to feel empowered
Every Parenting book I every read always referenced this book. I felt it was high time that I got this book that other books and parents always nattered on about. I was not disappointed. This is a book that should be in every parents libraryarsenal that helps the parent feel empowered. Parents can work with Doctors in raising their children. Instead of being shuffled along this book gives you the tools to ask the right questions when with these overworked doctors in a busy multi doctor practice. Awesome Book!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
