Meriden, CT,
Honestly before I had children, I would laugh at the fact of using natural remedies. As a kid we just used the drugs suggested by the doctors. Now that I have two children of my own, I realize how important it is that we as parents be aware of exactly what is going into our childrens bodies. The drugs treat the symptoms of the problem but don’t treat the problem. My son at 4 years old had constant bloody noses,sinus issues, tics and ADHD. After taking him to a ear, nose and throat specialist, a specialist in tourettes, and his regular pediatric doctor, there were no answers. I ordered a book about natural remedies and luckily know a friend of Dr. Skowron’s. Together we discovered that my son, although he tested negative for Celiac Disease, has an extreme sensitivity to gluten and was lacking fish oil. As I read Dr. Skowron’s “100 Natural Remedies for Your Child,” I realize how much time and aggrevation could have been avoided. The book is an easy guide, telling you which test to have done for certain complaints and recommended foods that will treat a condition, suggested dosages of natural remedies, and much much more. Way to go Dr. Skowron for getting so much information in an reading guide. Thank you.

|A Great Resource,
I have been a mom for almost ten years, and each time my children have gotten sick, I always knew that there was more I could do for them – beyond the standard recommendations of their pediatricians – to help them feel better and recover more quickly. Doctor Skowron’s book gives me the answers I have been looking for. This book is an easy-to-read and easy-to-follow recipe book for how to help your child feel and get better faster, safely, and naturally. For example, if your child has abdominal pain, you turn to the “Abdominal Pain” page and Dr. Skowron gives you possible explanations for the problem along with a chart containing safe and natural remedies and recommended dosages. This book is awesome – buy it!
