I didn't purchase it like it was.... the be-all end-all this is what we need to do... book. I've taken some of her ideas and suggestions to heart (in fact the natural ear ache remedy works) and those that don't fit w/what we can do right now... we'll work our way towards them (or not). I didn't feel as though she were lecturing, but I also agree w/quite a lot of her views, particularly w/regard to vaccines and the BPA ... Read More Rating:  - What an excellent resource!Deirdre does an excellent job outlining positive ways to remove toxins in your child's enviornment. All the resources for what you need is in one place! This book now is part of every baby shower gift and should be a way of life. Its practical and can help you take the necessary steps to improving your childs enviornment and health. Rating:  - I'm a "tree-hugger" but I hated this book.This book is horrible. It's so unrealistic and condescending. Don't bother with this one! |
