4.0 out of 5 stars Provides essential information on toxemia, September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy: A Disease of Malnutrition (Paperback)

Dr. Brewer's book, Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy, is a difficult book to read for the non-medical person but it provides essential information on toxemia and how to avoid this potentially deadly disease of pregnancy. It is written by a doctor for a doctor. As a clinician studying over 500 women with toxemia over a 10 year period, he presents convincing proof in the form of case studies, that he understood the disease, how to treat it, and how to prevent it.

I would recommend any pregnant woman who is at risk or showing signs of developing toxemia to suggest the book to their doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Pregnant Woman Should Read This, October 8, 2008

This review is from: Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy: A Disease of Malnutrition (Paperback)

It is a medical book so it may take some getting used to the lingo, if you aren't already acquainted with medical terms, but that is non existent compared to what information a soon to be mother will receive! I have seen this information work over and over again for woman from all over the world. I have seen moms who usually deliver babies early go to their due dates, I have seen moms who's blood pressure was so high their were scheduled for induction only to be told everything is OK after implementing higher protein,salting food to taste, and more vegetables to their diets. I really wish this book was more in mainstream reading for women, it's worth it's weight in gold.
