Organization of the book

Germ Proof Your Kids is presented in 4 sections which address: the most common germs and the diseases they cause; children’s natural defenses and the prudent use of antibiotics and vaccines; the value of home remedies from grandmother and the health food store;  and, how to understand and interpret the latest research news. The book brings everything parents need to know about kids’ infections together in one easy-to-read, concise book.

While written for parents, this volume is also a perfect office manual for physicians.  By providing up-to-date, succinct information on all of the infections that kids bring to the clinic, this book will help doctors educate parents about germs and the best treatment options (including no treatment at all!).
