Who came to me and said you know this is what you do every -- these stories in this book this is how we practice.
My wife and I like it very much I write books let's write a book together so that book is really stories from a parent and a pediatrician perspective about how we can keep -- kids healthy.
And pick natural things and help avoid side effects -- consortium has a fever for example and markets yeah yeah.
Parents knowledge of the market that Tylenol Advil something like that what do you recommend actually.
No medicine at all usually you know people are afraid of fever that's part of the problems a lot of it's about education -- -- not dangerous but there are few things you know -- your kid to be miserable.
So you can take a washcloth with cool water there are some homeopathic remedies.

Of flight but if you say you have a -- and -- severance right.
So so but we're trained that way we -- that -- you know ma I'm sick my child is sick.
And you know these are signs that our body is doing some -- trying to change -- paradigm and say it's not just about treating sickness and illness -- -- ways our kids deal with.
Infections it's normal in -- response that is is like -- germs right where we wanna get rid of every last German universe.

Exactly you know the interesting thing about you know if you look at ER visits for side effects from medications it was a report -- few years ago over half a million ER visits a year from side effects from medications.
So we're saying look it's not that there's never a role for now but there are many other things you can do that seem to be much safer when -- -- and a non.
Well if you need to have a relationship with your doctor to I think if you're -- in the middle of nowhere that's a different story.
And it's not that there's -- overall for Ibuprofen or -- -- and sometimes you have to use those medications are certain kids.
Who are prone to issues like seizures of fever so we're not -- for all kids.
But for the most with a book does is it says look.
Whether it's fever whether it's a cough whether it's sore throat -- cold.
There are many options after parents are just starting to learn about -- trying to help them with that the most over prescribe medicine -- admonishment yes absolutely and that's one of the main way to what side effects and our visits.
You know you getting gastrointestinal.
And and all kinds allergic reactions.
And so we go through a number conditions in the book where you might use and about ear infections for example on one of the most.
I reasons for prescribed antibiotics.
Even -- conventional circles now we're saying let's move away from that.
You know interestingly antibiotics -- are linked to obesity so they're saying you know we're disrupting.
I'm able to him yeah while yeah our leading to that kind of -- yes -- so Donald.
You're listing -- -- of all -- -- -- have three children three of -- will want to pay attention I'm Norma just -- talent got -- he's got three kids you know.
So you know it's it's -- -- ask -- moderate -- and so what we do for that as we say you know -- -- number things you can do in the book we talk about something simple olive oil.
You know something everybody has in her kitchen cabinet.
Olive oil actually has anti inflammatory properties antibacterial anti viral -- anti fungal.
-- you can take garlic crush it up in -- just warming up a little bit take a few drops.
But in the year that -- -- it works magically and it does and actually their research studies showing comparing it head to head with antibiotics and with Tylenol showing in some of these studies that it's equally as effective -- you can avoid.
All the other potential side effect.
Argument doesn't Laurence Rosen miserable artists and titles are driven alternatives for children reducing.
Serious side effects -- -- there -- -- When you have to -- I was -- rest of cancer.
All the -- in fifteen years.

Hospital works better -- remorse but but but people are conditioned.
To stuff smelling claimed it -- Saudi combat that.
Well that's you know that's an issue in our medical you know we oriented health -- -- problems and overuse of stuff.
But what you have to say is look let's look at the research one of the things we did in the book -- we said are we getting people are gonna be skeptical that's okay.
But I put a research citation with every single natural remedy I sites of the people can go back and say -- I understand here's the reason why we we are seeing more and more research do we need more shore -- -- it's a new paradigm it's a shift.
And actually what's interesting is you're going back.

As far as the ranch are remember there's a there's a specific case -- there's a girl there who's having allergic reaction to the horses -- a few years ago.
And down and the conventional answer would have been give Benadryl but we were concerned and I -- I talked to -- for about it she would be -- should be tired she wouldn't be able to ride to that would do anything.
So we had actually on hand -- had a few homeopathic remedies.
From wire on that are anti allergy Khatsava deal you know we -- for two of those every two to four hours she had no rowdiness no drowsiness within two doses she was up on the horses riding.
