“There are better ways of managing children’s ear problems. Dr. Schmidt’s comprehensively researched and referenced new book provides answers parents and professionals are seeking. My recommendation.”- William G. Crook, M.D.

This timely guide explores the underlying causes of the problem and suggests new strategies. The author discusses diet, homeopathic care, and children’s vitamin absorption process. The book includes a checklist that advises parents when they should take their children to the doctor, and provides specific questions to ask in determining the appropriateness of antibiotics or surgery.

Natural Answers for Women’s Health Questions: A Comprehensive A-Z Guide to Drug-Free Mind-Body Remedies (Paperback)

Natural Answers for Women's Health Questions: A Comprehensive A-Z Guide to Drug-Free Mind-Body Remedies

From Library Journal

A nutritionist, chiropractor, and women’s health advocate, Berkson (Healthy Digestion the Natural Way) is a “DES daughter” i.e., her mother was administered the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol early in pregnancy. Having been exposed to such a powerful chemical at a crucial stage in gestation, she has faced hormonal problems and gynecological procedures and is unable to bear children. Those medical issues led Berkson to dedicate herself to understanding women’s health problems and finding practical, drug-free solutions. Her latest book is firmly grounded in both her experience and her expertise and offers clear guidance to more than 200 health conditions that concern women (e.g., anorexia, cellulite, and menopause), particularly those that affect women differently from men; special attention is paid to issues concerning women’s hormones.
