Book Description

January 22, 2002
The Alternative Pediatric Guide

Are you tired of filling prescriptions every time your child has a cold? Are you concerned that all the over-the-counter drugs your child takes for fever reduction, headaches, and coughs aren’t as safe as they’re advertised to be? Does nothing seem to work? Finally, here is a book that will provide the truth about traditional treatments and offer safe, effective alternatives.

Nature’s Pharmacy for Children is an A to Z guide to more than two hundred childhood ailments and how to treat them with herbal, homeopathic, and other alternative treatments. Dr. Lendon Smith, Dr. Lynne Paige Walker, and writer Ellen Brown team up to provide you with an escape from the vicious cycle of antibiotics and other prescription and nonprescription medication. The authors address a full range of childhood problems from chicken pox and head lice to Attention Deficit Disorder and cancer.

In Nature’s Pharmacy for Children, you’ll find valuable information, such as:

* Herbal, homeopathic, or other alternative remedies that can alleviate or cure your child’s specific, and even general, ailments
* Common over-the-counter medications that could possibly cause Reye’s syndrome and SIDS
* How antibiotics don’t heal problems, but instead push them deeper into your child’s system

The book is also illustrated with “it could happen to you” anecdotes from the practices of its authors. Nature’s Pharmacy for Children is both informative and inspirational in its comprehensive approach to the world of alternative pediatric medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and not "Dumbed Down", January 30, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nature's Pharmacy for Children: Drug Free Alternatives for More Than 160 Childhood Ailments (Paperback)
We really value this book.

It is a real reference book, organized alphabetically by disease or problem, which is one reason it has gotten a lot of use. The depth and breadth is wonderful. You can find a summary of "conventional treatment" or "drug treatment" followed by paragraphs on "homeopathic," "Chinese Herbal Remedies," and/or "home treatment." There's just a ton of information here -- and it is about CHOICES not about dictating things to you.

However, it is also readable. Paging through it has confirmed things I picked up from other sources and taught me new things.

And there's even an entry for "BAD MOODS (see Anger.)"

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Own, May 17, 2006

This review is from: Nature's Pharmacy for Children: Drug Free Alternatives for More Than 160 Childhood Ailments (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the library and now I must have my own copy. It analyzes treatments not only from holistic perspective but chinese remedies and conventional remedies. It also gives suggestions on what products is best for the ailment. IT is written by a panel of expert instead of from a single source. After reading this among a stack of similar books addressing using natural remedies w/ children, this is definitely my favorite and the natural remedies REALLY does work!!
