5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy babies and moms begin with the Brewer Pregnancy Diet, September 2, 2002
Professionals working with pregnant women who don't follow the guidelines of this book aren't worth a second visit! Dr. Robert Bradley, of The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth(R) fame, heartily endorsed Gail Sforza and Dr. Tom Brewer's work. If you want a "Blue Ribbon Baby" then you simply MUST have this book - especially if you're expecting TWINS or more. You CAN have full-term, normal-weight twins - but you NEED the dietary information contained in this book! I believe the Brewers'work will, one day, be heralded as the "long-lost" link to eradicating all of the far-too-common complications of pregnancy (toxemia, HELLP, PROM, low birth weight, premature birth, among others). I, myself, gave birth to two singleton Blue Ribbon Babies while following the dietary guidelines of The Brewer Medical Diet. If you're pregnant, don't wait another day!

5.0 out of 5 stars You can prevent ECLAMPSIA, HELLP, PIH, etc., August 31, 2001

What your OB/GYN may not know!

My parents wrote this and other books in the 60's and 70's based on my father's (Dr. Thomas H. Brewer, Tulane University School of Medicine '51) experience as an OB/GYN and medical researcher on pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, PIH, IUGR, etc.

He terms this condition Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy (MTLP). In his clinic in one of the poorest counties in California, Dr. Brewer eliminated to 0% the incidence of eclampsia. His only "medicine" was nutritional counseling; asking what women were eating and instructing them to eat more high quality foods that they could afford.

Eggs and milk are cheap sources of whole proteins. If you don't eat animal products, you must make sure you are getting all you amino acids in the SAME meal or you won't have them in your bloodstream at the same time...that's the only way for a baby to get food, the mother's blood circulation. The only way for nutrients/proteins to get into your blood and stay there (for accessibility by the baby), is if you eat them at every meal!

These disorders of pregnancy are DEFINITELY avoidable!! Proper intake of calories, especially protein, and essential vitamins through regular food is the KEY. No special diets are required as long as enough whole proteins, water, salt, vitamins, and other essential nutrients are ingested in larger and larger quantities as the pregnancy progresses. A baby is made of the food the mother eats, and growth requires proteins...eat high quality food in increasing amounts and your baby grows to a big, healthy size.

Dr. Brewer now counsels women over the phone and you can look him up on the Internet. Please educate yourself and every pregnant woman you know with this influential and accurate preventative guide to a healthy pregnancy.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely necessary for every pregnant woman, January 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Brewer Medical Diet for Normal and High-Risk Pregnancy: A Leading Obstetricians Guide to Every Stage of Pregnancy (Hardcover)
Were you told by your doctor, a friend, or maybe even your mother that you had to "watch your weight" in pregnancy? Were you told to restrict your weight gain? Were you told that 300 extra calories was enough to sustain your unborn baby? If you were, you were lied too. Probably not intentially, but you were lied too, putting your health and the life of your unborn baby at risk. Gail Brewer shows the how and why of prenatal nutrition and what you can do to improve the outcome of your pregnancy. In a step-by-step approach, you will begin to understand why your individual circumstance may require far more calories, more weight gain and why it is so important to your baby. You will only have one chance to grow your baby...with Ms Brewer's guide you will be on your way to giving your baby the best start possible.
