One of the most important books in your life...

Dr Mendelsohn was a very good person. Requires to have courage to go against a whole professional life to speak in behalf the truth. 60 % of Modern medicine is not true, 80 % is against the principle of "do not harm" and 90 % is more for profit than to protect your health. Listening or reading this book should be a requirement for every parent or adult person in the world. Please Amazon, put this in your Kindle library. It is need it.

I absolutely loved this book! He gives real and wonderful tips on how to raise your child without the need for a doctor but also emphasizes to seek medical attention when its truely warranted. I truly appreciate a doctor who can give advice that most all doctors dont.

Must Have handbook for parenthood

I listened to this and before finishing the second chapter ordered the paperback to have on hand and gifted a copy to my sister (who is also a new mom) and mother. This book relieved many of my fears as a first-time parent of how to handle various sicknesses and ailments at home, as well as when to seek medical care, as well as confirmed my views on childhood vaccinations. So happy I found this

Required listening for parents

Eye opening and empowering book for parents, I highly recommend it. Do not outsource your own health or that of your child. When you know better you can make better informed decisions.

superb eye opener, despite it being such an old bk

He delivers clear and useful advice that is beyond his time. He is a brutally honest doctor who does not mince the hard truths. He truly deserves a salute for daring to go against the mainstream brainwash.

A must for any parent or caregiver

I have been recommended this book by many for a long time now, and it did not disappoint. Although the studies and statistics are now outdated, the core material is extremely important for everyone to know and realise. Maybe now more than ever with the increase in childhood mental and autoimmune diseases becoming epidemic. Much of the information provided can easily be applied to adult ailments also. Highly recommended!
