## Description

Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child [Zand, Janet, Rountree, Robert, Walton, Rachel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child

Review: OUTSTANDING, BALANCED REFERENCE - A Mom Must-Have! - I have an extensive library of books, but if I were forced to give them all away but one, this is the one I would keep. This is my go-to book as a mom. Every malady is listed alphabetically. The malady is described, and below the description is a balanced, detailed overview of possible treatments for that particular malady: * Conventional Treatment * Dietary Guidelines * Nutritional Supplements * Herbal Treatment * Homeopathy * Acupressure Then, after the overview of treatments, a general recommendation is given, and if applicable, prevention tips for the future. This book is thorough, balanced, effective, and most importantly HELPFUL. With it, I am "Dr. Mom." Of course we see the dr. when needed, but the need is much less when I have information like this at my fingertips. When we do go to see the doctor, this book comes along, so I know what questions to ask. When I need to give a gift to a new mom, I give a copy of this book and a subscription to Mothering magazine. This book is a book EVERY parent needs to have handy on the shelf. There is NOTHING better out there. If there has ever been such a thing as a "Must-Have," this book qualifies. I also recommend Janet Zand's other book, "A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies : First Aid for Your Child." Update 1-6-2012 I wanted to add that this makes a perfect baby shower gift. I gift it every chance I get -- it's wonderful. I still use it whenever one of my kids has an ailment. I can think of no better gift for a new parent.
Review: Good gift for one year olds. It is a boring gift, but a perfect gift for their future health. - I love this book for the comprehensive information that it has to offer. A good mix of traditional medicine and natural treatments.
