Toasters Don't Roast Chickens
'I'd like to thank Mel for writing her book and adding, in her way, to the fuller science of healing and healthcare. I'm sure it will liberate a lot of confused, troubled, mums and dads.' Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby MD, MB, Best-selling author of The Allergy Handbook 'Mums know best. This is a book that will give parents everywhere the confidence they need to follow their instincts.' The Daily Express 'Melanie Gow knows something we all need to know. It is possible to combine conventional medicine and alternative therapies and come up trumps.' Julie Lynn-Evans TV child psychotherapist 'I really feel this book has an important message for all parents. It will inspire other parents to take responsibility for their children's health.' Dr Mosaraf Ali, Director of the Integrated Medical Centre, London and author of The Integrated Health Bible 'A kind of philosophy book for those of us, with or without chronic illness, who find that the standard black and white attitude towards our healthcare goes against the intuitive responses.' Families South East 'A very good read incorporating a great deal of useful and encouraging information for the parents of allergic and/or sick children.' Foods Matter
