More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The number of children taking prescription drugs for every type of ailment has reached epidemic proportions. Child Health Guide offers sensible alternatives to this disturbing trend, providing the information parents need to make informed decisions about natural healing for their children and the integration of natural treatments into their children's medical care. The book covers the prenatal period through infancy, toddlerhood, and into middle childhood, with emphasis on extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping, a natural foods diet, avoidance of toxic chemicals, limited use of vaccines, and treatment of health problems with homeopathic medicines and herbs. Child Health Guide respects parents' choices while providing persuasive arguments for building a healthy immune system by avoiding conventional drugs and stressing natural methods. Using an educational and informative tone, the book discusses preventive medicine, the causes of poor health in children, and common foods and chemical exposures that can contribute to chronic illness. It also provides nutritional interventions that strengthen immunity and promote healing.

If you want to raise your child naturally this is the best book to get great advice from on a wide variety of baby-related topics. The only portion of the book i disagree with is demand feeding. For that topic I recommend Babywise by Ezzo. Otherwise you will find a wealth of invaluable information. My daughter is now 21 months old and was raised according to this book and she never got sick once in all this time!!! Get it, you won't regret!

One of the ONLY TWO children's health books you need
14 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
If you're someone who finds yourself inexorably drawn to living the healthy life and want the best for your child's health, you should consider buying this book. It's the most concise, accurate treatise I've seen on the subject of children's health. In fact, I intend to buy 10 copies and give them out to friends and relatives as they have kids!
Dr. Neustaedter not only covers traditional subjects like coughs, colds, ear infections, and supplements, but he also broadens the net to include assessments of water filters, safe crib mattresses to reduce SIDS, breastfeeding how-tos, Vitamin K shots at birth, etc. This is but a sampling of what's included! I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering getting pregnant (since the subject matter covers conception to pre-teen health).
What's taken 80% of my leisure time in the last 4 years to investigate on my own, he's drawn together in one handy book for you. Wish he'd published this 4 years ago :-)
BTW, who am I? I am a woman who is into all things healthy and am the lodestone for all I know IRL who want to find out what being healthy means. They've always suggested I should publish a book, but now, I don't have to - Dr. Randy's done it :-)
Lastly, the other book you should have is Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child - which includes every possible illness under the sun, and 4 or 5 alternative, home remedy, and allopathic treatments for each.

If Children Came With A Care-Manual -- This Would Be It!!
25 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
The Child Health Guide is hands down the best, holistic book on pregnancy & parenting that I have found yet. I'm still learning stuff that I didn't know -- stuff that helps with my 15 year old!!
The author holds a degree in Oriental Medicine and focuses on scientific information to teach you to make healthier choices for you and your family.
Here's a sampling: Plastic Toys and Phthalates; Environmental Toxins In The Home; Chemicals To Avoid In Shampoo; Why Avoid Soy?; Which Sweeteners Are (Relatively) Safe & Sweeteners To Avoid; DHA Supplementation, Cod Liver Oil Nutrient Content, Fats For Children, etc.; The Most Important Foods To Avoid; Principles Of Holistic Pediatrics For Parents; Vaccines -- Making An Informed Choice.
There is an entire section that focuses on managing acute illness, treatment at home & when to seek outside help.
There is so much more. This IS the book to get for someone looking to get pregnant and raise healthy children!!

forget all other books-this one first!!
6 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being holistic, I've been waiting a long time for one book to bring together so much vital information for new parents, I cannot recommend this book more--read this even before you get pregnant and before other baby books!! His resources are up to date and quite vast. Randall informs you of what testing, vaccines...and steps/procedures are and are not vital in those early days of your newborn....he tells you all about the covering of newborn mattresses...foods to feed and avoid at what ages (carrots not too early!). Please be aware this is NOT a "granola" book on parenting..if you can't breast feed...it is ok...he gives you recipes for awesome infant formulas...in the toxic world we live in today--this book is a must!! (his other book on vaccines is also essential reading)
