From allergies to autism, asthma, ear infections, colds, flus, and ADD/ADHD, Natural Baby-Healthy Alternative Health Care Solutions is the ultimate guide in natural healing and remedies for your child. The last 40 years have shown a global epidemic rise in children suffering from poor health and chronic health conditions. Why? And what do you, the parent, need to do to protect your child's health in today's world? The underlying causes of these chronic disorders include our polluted environment, unhealthy foods and diet, sedentary lifestyle, and misguided allopathic/pharmaceutical medical treatments. It is crucial that you protect your child from anything that can obstruct or compromise his or her growth and development, while supporting and improving health from within. Drawing from a variety of disciplines, Dr. Murray Clarke presents a rich range of options for both preventing and healing a variety of health concerns in a detailed but easily and quickly referenced style. These options include diet, environmental detoxification, nutritional supplementation, and holistic modalities including homeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture. From pre-conception preparation to pregnancy, to the baby's first year and on throughout childhood, Natural Baby-Healthy Child is an essential medical road map that will help you keep your child firmly on the path to robust, long-term good health and the realization of the full potential of body, mind and soul.
It feels like I read the same thing over and over in this book. A couple of times I had to scroll around because I thought I'm reading the same pages again. Tried finding the part about vaccinations... Was suppose to be a whole chapter.... But nothing. Very disappointed. I'm sure there's better books. Total waste of money!!!
I think this book only needed the first few chapters. I completely agree that eating healthy foods does a body good, including reducing the intake of sugar, especially refined sugar. It was also nice to read about the differences in medical alternatives.
After that I tended to disagree with his advice, such as not vaccinating your children. And the last few chapters were very repetitive: eat healthy food, take vitamins, etc.
All in all I wouldn't recommend this book. Many of Clarke's claims seem unfounded, unscientific, and biased (although I could still be irritated with his views on non-vaccination). Read this book for the first two chapters and then throw it out the window.
Good book with recommendations for alternative healing methods. Slightly biased towards natural healing, but also understands the allopathic need for some medications. Great home remedies to try before running to the Dr for something small.
