This is a great reference book with practical ideas. It tells you the common sense things that doctors usually forget to mention. I've used it successfully with my children and myself.It's a great gift for new mothers.

This is the best way to gather three perspectives to get your children healthy quickly and with limited pharma needs. I appreciate learning the conventional, homeopathic and herbal ways to address each ailment. WIth this book, I am an informed health advocate for my kids. This is my first resource when dealing with a sick child.
