Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent resource for parents encouraging natural health.
Review: Smart Medicine does a wonderful job listing multiple approaches to common childhood ailments. The authors list conventional methods of treatment as well as natural and homeopathic methods. It has been helpful in my household in the decision-making process of what to do when one of our children show symptoms of distressed health. I recommend it to all parents who are sick of giving others control over their child's health.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love having this book to help me care for my baby
Review: This book is a very handy reference guide for any parent. It has an extensive catalog of common [and not so common] childhood diseases, illnesses, and symptoms and includes both the modern western medical treatments as well as nutritional, herbal, homeopathic, accupressure and other more non-traditional treatments. It is a thorough and complete volume. It is non-judgemental as well - not preachy or annoying. This book would be helpful to any parent in dealing with their child's health concerns.

Summary: Great concept but incomplete
Review: 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.

Summary: Awesome book!
Review: This book is great for parents who would like options when their children become ill. Great gift for any parent!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: well worn book
Review: This book is worn and cracked and split in two from years of regular use. It's well organized with good descriptions of the symptoms and many available treatments. I also like that it includes preventative measures. I've recommended it many times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST HAVE BOOK!
Review: This is the book I come running to when my child is sick or hurt or for preventive measures! I recomend this book and "The American Academy of Pediatrics" for caring for the health of your baby or child! The great thing about this book is it combines and explains the different medical approaches- preventitive and natural medicine. Meaning you'll get the conventional method, and natural treatments (herbal medicine, homeopathy,bach flower remedies, acupressure,and diet and nutrition). Knowing when and when not to call the doctor, saving yourself from needless worries, and caring for your baby's health as best you can is a good reason to have this book in your home. Would make an excellent gift too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the only book you need
Review: This the ONLY health reference book I own regarding the care and treatment of my children. It's that complete and comprehensive - it covers all of the illnesses and all of the treatments (conventional, herbal, homeopathic, prevention).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent book for the thoughtful parent
Review: This would be a great gift for new parents - it is a wonderful resource for parents who want the most information possible when making health care decisions for their children. It includes everything from more conventional treatments for illnesses to less conventional methods such as dietary changes and homeopathy.

This book is also a great reference for parents who are unfamiliar with less conventional treatments - it gives helpful descriptions of what homeopathy and other natural methods actually are, the principles for treatment they use, and why these methods work. It is written in an easy-to-use format and really opened my eyes to alternative methods of helping my child stay healthy.

The only thing I feel should be omitted from this book is the section on time-outs - I didn't buy a health book for it's parenting method, and would prefer not to be given parenting suggestions from this author. Otherwise, it's a great book.
