All the info I needed in one place! by J. Dean (texas)  5 Stars
May 23, 2006
I just wanted to say I think this book is an excellent, excellent resource. The information is excellent and aligns with everything I have discovered in my own independent research on childhood ear infections. I probably own 3 or 4 other books on the subject (which all take a different slant) but I believe this book captures the essential information parents need to make informed decisions regarding the treatment of their childs ear infections. In fact, I wish every parent could read this book before their child even has their first ear infection - the downward spiral of antibiotic, after antibiotic, nutritional deficiencies, elimination of beneficial bacteria, ear tubes, adeniodectomy, etc.. can happen so quickly it can be hard for the child to rebound from. The information is presented well, is easy for parents to read and understand, and is backed by medical research (without all the confusing medical jargon). Not to mention - it just plain makes sense! It presents just enough information to really empower parents to take the lead in preventing and treating ear infections yet it's not so much information that the reader is overwhelmed. Without a doubt, I will be recommending this book to any parent at risk of heading down the unfortunate road of traditional treatment for ear infections (or even the natural course of childhood illness in general). I will also be giving a copy of this book to my pediatrician. I hope the author will write other books on some of the other important health care decisions parents face.

must read for any parent by S. savla (San Diego, CA United States) 5 Stars
March 14, 2006
This book was initially suggested by a colleague and my husband bought it. It has very good and informative guidelines on prevention of not only ear infections but most of the upper respiratory ailments. My son didn't contact a single cold in the first year as I followed most of the dietary instructions from this book. Dietary guidelines and other lifestyle issues that are confronted by most of the parents are very well explained. I have seen a very strong correlation between parents who follow the lifestyle suggested by the book and healthy children.
