Product Description

Product Description
Revised, updated and expanded to reflect the latest thinking and information on children's health issues, "Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child (2nd Ed)" enables parents to combine the best of conventional and alternative approaches. Part 1 explains the full spectrum of techniques that can be employed to effectively treat childhood health problems, providing an overview of the history, fundamentals and uses of conventional medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupressure, diet and nutritional supplementation. Part 2 contains a comprehensive A-Z guide to the various health problems of childhood - from chickenpox to thumb-sucking. Part 3 offers guidance on using the therapies and procedures suggested in Part 2, from locating acupressure points to preparing herbal remedies. Written by a naturopathic physician, a medical doctor and a paediatric nurse, this unique book gives parents easy access to current information and advice regarding their children's health, and acts as a bridge between time-honoured healing systems and mainstream medicine. Illustrated with line art, the book includes a glossary, bibliography and index.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have reference book!, 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book shortly after it was published 5 years ago and swear by its results. My copy is well worn. I too have given it as baby gifts and am always looking something up for friends. I love its simple format and easy to understand overview of the ailment. It's wonderful to also have some home remedies that I can try. I often discuss what's in the book with my physician so I can work with and not against him. I've used this book so often I recently bought the adult version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book out of 3 shelves of health care books, 21 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Absolutely fantastic, must-have book! I have over 7 years of experience using holistic medicine for my family and 3 bursting shelves of health-care books. Whenever anyone in the family is sick, this is the first book pulled out for reference. I've given it to 5 mothers-to-be as baby shower presents, and whether they use conventional medicine or alternative medicine, they always rave about how much this book has helped them. I know one RN who bought a copy for each of her 5 adult children, she was so impressed with the quality and quantity of information it provided.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for parents encouraging natural health., 9 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Smart Medicine does a wonderful job listing multiple approaches to common childhood ailments. The authors list conventional methods of treatment as well as natural and homeopathic methods. It has been helpful in my household in the decision-making process of what to do when one of our children show symptoms of distressed health. I recommend it to all parents who are sick of giving others control over their child's health.
