Revised, updated, and expanded to reflect the latest thinking 
and information on children's health issues, Smart Medicine for 
a Healthier Child enables parents to combine the best of 
conventional and alternative approaches. 
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.
