This revolutionary book shows why Amoxicillin--one of the most overprescribed drugs of our time--can jeopardize a child's health, and why common ear and respiratory infections can and should be treated through safer and more effective means.

Summary: Ok
Comment: This book was ok but there was too much "trying to convince me". The first 9 chapters are on why to not use antibiotics. The last chapter is on how to treat ear infections without antibiotics, I just wanted a little more on the treating and not so much on the convincing.

Summary: A Must-Read Book for Parents
Comment: The very words "ear infection" conjure up fear, dread and visions of antibiotics in most parents----yet few ever understand what a misnomer the term "ear infection" actually is. I purchased this book when my daughter was 8 months old and we were going on our third ear infection. I was desperate and disillusioned with the poor explanations my pediatrician handed me along with an antibiotic rx slip. What actually did he mean by "ear infection"? 'Infections' are for the most part inflammations of the ear-----be they caused by virus or food sensitivities or (less commonly) bacteria. Yet we are treating most ear infections as if they are caused by a bacterial infection only. Block really drives a point home about food sensitivities----that many children are sensitive to dairy products, wheat, or corn (among others) and these items contribute to ear problems. After reading the book, we immediately took our daughter off dairy products permanently (and wheat for a year) and her health improved 100%----with only one more ear infection/inflammation, which we resolved easily and successfully without antibiotics. She has never had an ear problem again. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. While it is a bit amateurishly put together, and Block's writing style is at times cumbersome, it is nevertheless worthwhile stuff, and it REALLY important for parents to read and absorb.

Summary: It actually works
Comment: After taking antibiotics over and over again for the same infection, I was at the end of my rope. I was amazed to find out that this method worked for me. This book is probably less expensive than an antibiotic prescription, so why not try it yourself?

Summary: Refreshing!
Comment: I have used "NO MORE AMOXICILLIN" on myself and my 4 month old. While I was pregnant, I developed a very severe ear infection. Being that I was pregnant, I couldn't take any medication. I started using Dr. Mary Ann Block's technique through manipulation. My husband gave me 3 treatments a day and before long my ear infection was gone and I felt great. I could actually feel my ears draining during the treatment. It is always nice to find a way to cure you or your loved ones without the use of extra medication. This is definitely one of those. I have been doing the manuipulation technique on my 4 month old son since he was born and everytime he goes to the pediatrician she says that his ears look great. I have also purchased the video titled,"Treat Ear and Respiratory Infections WITHOUT Antibiotics!" This gives even more in depth information and a hands on demonstration of the manipulation technique. I highly recommend this book.
