BOOKS
December 1999 - I have recently read the
book 
The Poisons and Antidotes SourceBook
from the Facts For Life series by
Checkmark Books ($29.95 Hardcover, $16.95 Paperback).
This second edition by Carol
Turkington provides impressive details on the seriousness of a wide variety of poisoning,
and appropriate treatment required by parents and professionals. Everything from lead,
food, and pesticide poisonings and their symptoms, to preventive measures recommended for
parents, makes for an easy read on a rather tough subject. The first section is
thoughtfully written for both the parent and professional with the second resource section
detailing specific poisonings (a great reference). As a pediatrician I find it a wonderful
resource to have in the office; parents will appreciate its usefulness in the home as
well. I am a particular fan of the sections on health and safety promotion
through preventing poisonings in the first place. My opinion is simply, now that I know of
the book, "I wouldn’t be found in the office without it!"

November, 1999 - Simply the best resource available in one
book for expectant and new parents, as well as experienced parents, Caring For Your
Baby and Young Child: Birth To Age Five (1998) from the American Academy of Pediatrics is
always your best bet. It is simple to understand and makes for an excellent resource book
for years to come. If you want the book that YourPediatrician, as well as your OWN
pediatrician probably recommends, get this book. I always tell patients in my practice
"there are probably plenty of good books out there on parenting, but this is THE ONE
that I have read and make recommendations from everyday that I am sure are accurate and
up-to-date." Parents simply can’t go wrong with this book. ($19.95
Paperback).

September, 2000 - Herbal and "natural"
medicine has become enormously popular in the last few years. Natural
remedies are finally being somewhat accepted by many mainstream
pediatricians with parents seeking alternative remedies for their
children. NOW, there is a
great resource available to both parents and
pediatricians that is a gold-standard for alternative forms of medicine as
it pertains to pediatrics.
The Holistic Pediatrician: A Parents Comprehensive Guide to Safe and Effective Therapies for the 25 Most Common Childhood Ailments(1996) by
Kathi J. Kemper, MD is a wonderful resource, providing accurate
information on clinically proven (and unproven) remedies from the fields
of mind-body medicine, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and herbal
medicine. It is gives clear advice for treating conditions like eczema and
skin rashes, colic and sleeplessness in babies and children. A GREAT
RESOURCE!
