Good Little Book

Doctor Mom's is a good little book to have around with good information in how to take care of your little loved ones without the harsh meds.

Highly recommended alternative health care reading.

What Kathy Duerr provides in Doctor Mom's Quick Reference Guide To Natural Healthcare At Home is tried and true, doctor-endorsed, and "parent friendly" information on natural, commonplace, effective, and safe remedies for treating minor illnesses without having to resort to pharmaceutical drugs, thereby avoiding antibiotic and chemical compound side-affects. Duerr address such parental questions as to whether a child is really hyperactive, the safety and effectiveness of immunizations, what should go into a family medicine cabinet; how to get a child to sleep, baby colic, childhood fevers, cough and soar throat treatments, and the best way to deal with minor cuts and scrapes. Doctor Mom's Quick Reference Guide To Natural Healthcare At Home is highly recommended reading for anyone concerned with alternative health care issues, naturopathy, children's health, and effective parenting.

Great Book for All Mothers!

I wish I had found a book like this when my kids were young, I know I would have had the courage to run to the doctor less often and relied more on my medicine chest. My daughter has been very worried about giving her children so many antibiotics, every time they have an earache or a sore throat, it seems to be more drugs. At last here is someone here who talks sense, and gives us advice on how to treat every day ailments without resorting to strong drugs and possible side effects. Kathy Duerr believes in foot baths, and massaging feet with oils and herbs, and gives advice on what to keep in your medicine cupboard. My daughter, who has three little ones, is over the moon about this book, and can't recommend it highly enough to all parents of young children.
