I love this book! I have four kids 7 and under and use it anytime they get sick or something comes up that might need to get checked out. I am a nurse, but will take Dr. Mendelsohns advice over most pediatricians today. Very helpful!

Still recommending this book 17 years later by A. MacKay (Lodi, CA USA)

I was given this book as a gift at a baby shower 17 years ago. The chapter on fever alone is worth the price. I read it every time one of my boys were burning up with some virus. The pages of that chapter are dogeared with use. I learned to trust the wisdom of their bodies. The fevers always came down on their own, I just needed to keep them comfortable and reassured. That chapter was my reassurance. In the last 17 years, I bet I've given away 20 copies of this book and recommended it to new parents 100s of times. Dr. Mendelsohn was a pioneer. Blessedly many are now following his lead.

This book is a must for any parents. The information is a life safer for your kids. This book is extremely informative, yet written in a way that can be easily understood. Please read this book. You will appreciate it on many levels. I got extremely curious about this subject, when I find out these titles, I strongly recommend them: The Poisoned Needle: Suppressed Facts about Vaccination The Vaccination Myth: Courageous MD exposes the Vaccination Fraud! Vaccination Horror: An anthology of important works on vaccination pseudoscience Vaccination: Spreading Leprosy and Death Vaccination: State sponsored Murder

A Great Gift for a First time or Many Time Mom! by D. Pegalis (Metro DC)

This book was published the year before I graduated highschool.Of course I just bough it this year. It is such an easy read and he explains why things work and don't work. This will be my bible for my kids for many years to come. Instead of running of to the peds and get them loaded up with more drugs I take my time. Think what my grandparents used to do. He is so right on many of his comments. I worked inthe medical field through being an EMT/Evoc to working for a pharmaceutical company so I have been on both sides. Just buy the book I promise you won't be dissapointed!

This book opened my eyes on a lot of things, true reality of doctor visits, many childhood aliments, immunizations and a lot more. How to take care of minor diseases yourself, how to protect your child from unnecessary tests and x-rays etc. I would recommend this books to all parents who would like to see both sides of the coin.
