Proven health guide for everyday practice with children. Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn, M.D., has over 30 years of medical practice experience, during which he held responsible positions and received numerous awards for outstanding achievements in the medical field. At the same time, Dr. Mendelsohn is a medical maverick, as he believes that the doctor treating you is usually the greatest threat to your health, since the methods of modern medicine rarely work and are often more dangerous than the diseases they are supposedly diagnosing and treating. In this, his third book, the author critically examines his own field, pediatrics, in which he has taught and practiced for over 30 years. He provides parents with well-founded, detailed information about the diagnosis and treatment of childhood illnesses—he considers 95 percent of all visits to the pediatrician unnecessary, even dangerous. He gently guides parents on 1) how to diagnose and treat their children at home without medical intervention for - colds and flu - childhood diseases - strep throat - vision and hearing problems - allergies - mental disorders - skin diseases - and more (you will also learn everything about vaccinations and how to properly handle accident injuries), 2) how to decide whether a child is sick enough to require a doctor's attention, and 3) how to avoid unnecessary, potentially dangerous treatments when a doctor is involved.
