Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy: A Disease of Malnutrition

Rating:
Summary: Provides essential information on toxemia
Review: Dr. Brewer's book, Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy, is a difficult book to read for the non-medical person but it provides essential information on toxemia and how to avoid this potentially deadly disease of pregnancy. It is written by a doctor for a doctor. As a clinician studying over 500 women with toxemia over a 10 year period, he presents convincing proof in the form of case studies, that he understood the disease, how to treat it, and how to prevent it.

I would recommend any pregnant woman who is at risk or showing signs of developing toxemia to suggest the book to their doctor.
