Summary: A Holistic Look at Raising Children
Review: Complete. If I had to choose one word to rate this book, it would be "complete." Dr. Russ and Dr. Stu dive into nearly every facet of child-rearing: to breast feed, or not to breast feed, pros/and cons. A balanced look at medicine. Preventative versus reactive medicine: teaching healthy habits to prevent illness and disease. How to raise your child's awareness and your own in today's pop-culture. Think Andrew Weil on kids, but MORE! I would recommend this book to anyone planning to have kids, anyone with kids, parents whose kids are having kids, ... etc., etc. It's an easy read and a wonderful reference. My only question is, "what took you so long!?" Thanks Dr. Stu and Dr. Russ!

Summary: A "MUST" READ FOR PARENTS
Review: Drs. Ditchek and Greenfield were both personally trained by Dr. Andrew Weil, whom I trust more highly than any other contemporary medical authority. Dr. Weil wrote the Foreward to HEALTHY CHILD, WHOLE CHILD and his essay makes it clear that this book is essential reading for parents of young children. I read it from cover to cover and came away empowered with a new understanding of my childrens' health and what I can do to enhance it.This is a great and important book.

Summary: Integrative Childcare
Review: Healthy Child, Whole Child gives parents useful information in a remarkably enjoyable book. It is more than a reference for raising healthy children; it stimulates parents to think about their choices for creating a healthy childhood experience. As a physical therapist for 27 years, I have seen in my clinical practice some of the same principles motivating this book: a belief in the innate healing powers of the body and a recognition of the interaction among, body, mind, spirit and environment. I recommend it to parents and grandparents. It will reinforce your common sense notions about children, and surprise you with good new scientific information. Above all, it is highly readable.

Summary: Complementary medicine is a scam
Review: I only had to read the introduction to this book to get a clear picture of its agenda. Complementary medicine is just the allopathic world's way of double-dipping to maximize profits. It's okay to pop a few vitamins as long as you're still coming in for those prescriptions for allopathic medicine, and of course the big cash cow: VACCINATIONS. The big give-away to parents should be the statement that Dr Ditchek (or was it Greenfield) will not take patients who refuse vaccination. Vaccination has no role in any home where good health is desired. All those ailments: ear infections, asthma, etc are all vaccine-caused. This book wouldn't even be needed if people didn't poison their child's blood stream with vaccines. My unvaccinated child has never had an ear infection or a fever over 102. If you want a real book on raising healthy kids: How To Raise A Healthy Child In Spite Of Your Doctor by Dr Robert Mendelsohn.

Summary: Everything you need to know to raise healthy kids
Review: Parents want to do the right thing when it comes to their children's health. They are bombarded by conflicting (sometimes dangerous) advice from friends, books, and the media. This book provides clear, medically accurate explanations for the choices it offers. It is well-researched and easy to read. It improves upon "Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care." I have been a physician for 27 years and a father for 22 years. I will give this book to my daughters when my grandchildren are born.
