ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
If you're one of the thousands of parents who feel frustrated and overwhelmed by the different kinds of medical advice you're getting from doctors, homeopaths, and others, then you will find comfort -- and answers -- in this comprehensive guide to integrative medicine for children. Fully updated and revised to reflect the numerous recent advances in this field, Dr. Kemper's The Holistic Pediatrician incorporates the best of both mainstream and alternative medicine to aid parents in dealing with the most common childhood health problems. From ear infections to allergies, fevers to diaper rash, colds to bedwetting, this invaluable guide provides factual advice that aims to heal the whole child, rather than espousing one medical philosophy or another.
Based on scientific evidence and written in commonsense language rather than medical jargon, The Holistic Pediatrician is the first place any parent should turn for authoritative and empowering advice on all aspects of their children's health.
USER REVIEWS
"This book is an oldie but a goodie.
The American public is just getting around to recognizing that cold medicines are a waste of money. This book pegged it years ago. It also covers natural remedies for ADHD and headache. A Classic!"

"I didn't care for this book because the Dr. promotes conventional medications.
Want a book on natural healing along with herbal remedies check out "Gentle Healing for Baby and Child" by Andres Candee. "

"I was very excited to buy this book. I have found it very useful as a mother of 4 and as a pediatric nurse practioner student. I was hoping that K. Kemper took a more intelligent and open perspective on vaccinations. Despite over 11,000 adverse advents reported each year from vaccines, scientific research showing that thimerosol caused neurodevelopmental delays, and MMR causing thrombocytopenia, orchitis, seizures, and many other problems, Kemper refuses to budge on her pro vaccine stance. I believe her experience with public health has enforced her belief that vaccines be inflicted on all despite their complications. Other than this fundamental disagreement with the author, I liked the book."

"I got the first edition of this book nearly 5 years ago when my first born was an infant. It has been incredibly useful for avoiding the doctor - who usually can't really help anyway, or wants to prescribe antibiotics too frequently. Children often run the risk of getting something even worse than what they have by a visit to the doctor's office. This book is a guide for what to do with certain situations. It helped me to make my children more comfortable while a virus ran its course. This book gave me confidence to know that I was doing that best thing for my kids and gave guidelines for when to go to the doctor.
I have two kids - 5 and 2 - who have NEVER had the need to take antibiotics. I give this book a lot of credit for the my healthy kids. "

"The heading states that this book is a comprehensive guide for safe and effective therapies for childhood illnesses, though it is seriously lacking. Kemper has no experience with homeopathy so she just gives us the usual "it doesn't work" jibe.
Does she even know that Homeopathy successfully cured thousands in epidemics of the past? Did she even do research on the studies that she quotes in this book? Most studies done on homeopathic remedies by the allopathic community are seriously flawed - no homeopath even in attendance.
Then she goes on to validate the use of antibiotics for just about everything, does she not know that antibiotics have been seriously over prescribed for decades and that this is why we are seeing resistant bacterial diseases?
It's easy to see where she is coming from.
I recommend doing a full check on the author before buying any book on childrens health."
