Copyrighted 1984, this book is a real gem.

Surprisingly (or should I say, unsurprisingly), not much has changed in medicine since then. Yes, we have fancier treatments for illnesses, but the basics are still the same, and the same problems that were created by pediatricians in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s are still perpetuated by some doctors today. This book really speaks to my natural health leanings.
I appreciate its information on illnesses that a parents can reasonably take care of at home and how to do that, but also when to take a child for professional medical help. The best way to explain what this book is about is to share with you the table of contents with each chapter and its contents listed:
Dr. Mendelsohn is regarded today as a doctor ahead of his time. While some of the information in this book is a bit outdated, it’s stunning to realize how many of these topcs are still very relevant today. Interestingly, a few years after writing this book, Dr. Mendelsohn wrote another book called Confessions of a Medical Heretic. So, obviously writing his first book didn’t win him many friends. Yet so many of his ideas are becoming standard in parenting today, especially among parents who are trying to take a more natural approach to raising their children.

I appreciate its information on illnesses that a parents can reasonably take care of at home and how to do that, but also when to take a child for professional medical help.
