THE VITAMIN CURE FOR INFANT AND TODDLER HEALTH PROBLEMS presents detailed discussions of immunizations; colic and diarrhea; feeding; well-baby checkups; ear infections; colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses; fever; SIDS; allergies; over-the-counter drugs; child rearing; high-dose vitamin C therapy for young children; more.

The authors favor a three-tiered approach for raising healthier children: 1) good diet and daily vitamin supplements, 2) higher doses of vitamin supplements for special needs, and 3) appropriately very high orthomolecular doses of nutrients when there is illness, in cooperation with necessary medical intervention.

Pediatrician Ralph Campbell, MD, offers the advice you wish your pediatrician gave. Says Dr. Campbell: "I learned valuable things from the genius doctor I first practiced with. I always attempted to determine the reason and treated accordingly, without drugs." Here is the much-awaited sequel to Drs. Ralph Campbell and Andrew W. Saul's very popular previous work, The Vitamin Cure for Children's Health Problems.

Review

"An inspiring book. When a child gets sick, the first choice for a cure is not to give drugs, but to treat with the right nutrition. Vitamins especially are known to be more effective at times in treating illness than medicine. This book provides guidance towards the first-choice nutritional approach, so that many children can live healthier lives and be free of illness and the dangerous side effects of modern medicine."
