The Holistic Pediatrician, Twentieth Anniversary Revised Edition

Now with a new forward from Andrew Weil, this is a fully revised edition of a highly regarded holistic medical guide for parents to safe and effective therapies for the most common childhood ailments that combines the best of traditional medicine with proven therapies from herbal medicine, homeopathy and other alternative healing techniques

Completely updated and revised, with an introduction from respected physician Dr. Andrew Weil, THE HOLISTIC PEDIATRICIAN is a definitive guide to the top 25 childhood health problems - including allergies, bedwetting, colds, diaper rashes, ear infections, and fevers, and has been updated to address Autism and fatigue. Kemper skillfully blends together a rich variety of medical traditions, including vitamin therapies, nutrition, homeopathy, and mind-body integration techniques-the combination of which all too often falsely seem to be incompatible.

Whereas the notion of bringing alternative therapy into the practice of pediatrics was once considered progressive, today it is seen as a viable and desirable part of treatment. In this much-anticipated follow-up, Dr. Kemper shares new research in holistic medicine that has emerged in the past 5 years radically changing the field. She integrates into the text what she has learned from her patients in the intervening years and provides useful and bona fide web connections for all topics addressed, a particularly important addition since access to medical information via the Internet has literally exploded over the past half decade.
