This sounds like a book every mother should read. Having no children I am still tempted to read it because I do have animals. Even with them it might be worth, avoiding the vet and let them heal on their own rhythm.

The book I give all my patients (children or not) is Turtles All The Way Down

Excellent article and advise by Naomi Aldort. Care and feeding of children were the *original* "facts of life" spoken between mothers and daughters for thousands of years. The modern medical system hijacked this essential mother/daughter relationship and replaced it with a conflicted and abusive system of fraud. The results are tragic beyond belief.

Cows milk is only good for cow's *calf's*. Baby formula and cows milk put me in hospital emergency three times within the first year of life. When a neighborhood veterinarian heard I was in the hospital again, he suggested goats milk. End of problem... Baby formula is poison, period.

Reference to Weston Price Foundation articles are a huge plus. Thanks for posting.

Brilliant to apply Byron Katie's four questions to parenting. Having used Katie's four questions as a core tool in my psychotherapy practice, I can vouch for the power of these questions.
