antibiotic overuse, low-cost wellness techniques by K. BRYDEN (Iowa)  3 Stars
February 20, 2009
If you know nothing about the negative consequences of antibiotics, this would be a useful and informative book, or if you have questions about dietary modifications for your child to help reduce their risk of getting ear infection/inflammation. I found the book is somewhat repetitive, and it probably is preaching to the converted. I bought it because I wanted to know the massage techniques for draining the lymph system, and they take up a scant few pages at the very end of the book. I would have liked more of the hands-on information and less of the reasons why antibiotic overuse is bad.

Ok by B. Burks (Tennessee) 3 Stars
September 04, 2008
This book was ok but there was too much "trying to convince me". The first 9 chapters are on why to not use antibiotics. The last chapter is on how to treat ear infections without antibiotics, I just wanted a little more on the treating and not so much on the convincing.

A Must-Read Book for Parents by Katie Moore (Northern California, USA) 5 Stars
November 28, 2000
The very words "ear infection" conjure up fear, dread and visions of antibiotics in most parents----yet few ever understand what a misnomer the term "ear infection" actually is. I purchased this book when my daughter was 8 months old and we were going on our third ear infection. I was desperate and disillusioned with the poor explanations my pediatrician handed me along with an antibiotic rx slip. What actually did he mean by "ear infection"? 'Infections' are for the most part inflammations of the ear-----be they caused by virus or food sensitivities or (less commonly) bacteria. Yet we are treating most ear infections as if they are caused by a bacterial infection only. Block really drives a point home about food sensitivities----that many children are sensitive to dairy products, wheat, or corn (among others) and these items contribute to ear problems. After reading the book, we immediately took our daughter off dairy products permanently (and wheat for a year) and her health improved 100%----with only one more ear infection/inflammation, which we resolved easily and successfully without antibiotics. She has never had an ear problem again. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. While it is a bit amateurishly put together, and Block's writing style is at times cumbersome, it is nevertheless worthwhile stuff, and it REALLY important for parents to read and absorb.

It actually works by Kelley Hunt (Texas, USA) 5 Stars
August 14, 2000
After taking antibiotics over and over again for the same infection, I was at the end of my rope. I was amazed to find out that this method worked for me. This book is probably less expensive than an antibiotic prescription, so why not try it yourself?
