Health-care practitioners are a polarized lot: generally speaking, either they subscribe wholeheartedly to conventional medical treatments, or they eschew them altogether. This can be a great source of frustration to parents, whose natural response to a child's illness is a desire to do everything possible to make that child well. Written by a natural-medicine practitioner, a traditionally licensed doctor, and a pediatric nurse, Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child presents an integrated approach to children's health care that allows a parent to do just that. This excellent reference applies a full spectrum of responses to common childhood health problems: conventional medical treatments, dietary guidelines, nutritional supplements, herbal treatments, homeopathy, and acupressure; for each ailment, general recommendations and preventive measures are also offered. The book's authors explain that their approach to health care "considers all treatment possibilities and draws on what works. Sometimes this will be an herb, sometimes an antibiotic, sometimes both." This well-researched, balanced, and clearly written reference belongs on every parent's bookshelf. --Jane Steinberg

From Library Journal
This unique text on children's health is written by a physician, a naturopath, and a registered nurse. Assuming that conventional medicine and alternative therapies can complement each other, they offer choices in healthcare. Their book contains three sections. The first offers an overview of the history, basic techniques, and uses of conventional medicine, homeopathy, acupressure, diet, and nutrition. It also includes information on choosing and working with health professionals, pregnancy, newborn care, and home safety. The second section is an alphabetical listing of childhood health problems with explanations and specific treatment approaches. Conditions requiring emergency care are highlighted and those needing conventional care, such as appendicitis, are indicated. Part 3 contains illustrated instructions for applying the treatments suggested in Part 2. The authors encourage parents to take first aid and childcare classes to become effective partners in their children's health maintenance. A glossary, bibliography, and lists of hotlines, resource organizations, and suppliers of alternative health products complete the book. Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child is an outstanding resource; highly recommended for all collections.

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a wonderful addition to a healthcare library, but it shouldn't be the only book in it. When my children were exposed to hand-foot-and-mouth disease, I found nothing to help in this book. On the other hand "Baby and Child Care" by James Dobson did address the issue.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the most used book in my library at the moment. This book combines and explains the different medical approaches towards both preventitive and healing medicines. A great example is my daughter's first round of vaccinations. I followed the both the nutritional and Herbal suggestions. I took 1500mg Vitamin C and Echincea ( I am breastfeeding). My daughter had no reaction and no fever from the vaccinations! This book is a perfect gift for new parents too.

I appreciate the range of health care options in this book, from allopathy through osteopathy through herbs and nutrition, even venturing into quackery with homeopathy. :-) Sometimes I take immediate action after consulting this book, such as when my daughter's symptoms were accurately described as scarlet fever, and sometimes I continue with palliative care, as when breastfeeding a vomiting child.
The authors encourage you to examine your options, when appropriate, and when to seek immediate care such as with poisoning, shock or polio. I have never had the impression they push any method of health care over any other, but rather want the parent to have all the options. Read the introductory sections on all of the modalities they offer so you fully understand the rationale behind them. Read the home safety tips too; most are pretty obvious to parents, but there may be something you overlook; don't we all?
I'm lucky to have very healthy children so I don't need the specifics a lot, but this book is well written enough just to have on hand and read out of curiousity such as when the neighbor's child has roseola or just to tell your child what it really looks like when someone breaks a bone.
