I recently read the book Real Solutions to Children’s Health by Anne Arsenault. What I really liked about this book is that it is small in size and packed full of information. There is no wordy intro about why you need the book or all the problems that face children today. There is really no opportunity to be board to tears in between important points. It felt as though I was reading the cliff notes of a much larger book with all the important facts and details set aside and highlighted and as a busy mom, I REALLY like that.
It is a powerhouse of alternative health strategies for children. The first couple of chapters discuss diet and what foods could potentially be causing health and behavioral problems and what foods could be sorely lacking from their diet. Also discussed is the prevalence of allergies and other sensitivities, supplements, and guidelines for alternative therapies. That pretty much sums up part one.
Part Two gets down to specific issues that children may be facing and natural and alternative ways to deal with them. Topics include ADD, asthma, learning disabilities, cold and flu, eczema, thrush, head lice, and dozens more. The book doesn’t waste any time….you have the specific ailment and then you have bulleted lists of ways to deal with them….concise, informative, and easy.
It is a real time saver for busy moms and good quick reference book. It is also written by certified nutritional consultant and parent of two who has years of experience dealing with these health issues in children. Thanks Anne for giving me the opportunity to read it! It is a good book to have in our “natural” family library.

You can kill lice with salt water or a sauna learn how to kill pests without killing yourself or the earth……
There are about 50 to 60 million insect species on earth – we have named only about 1 million and there are only about 1 thousand pest species – already over 50% of these thousand pests are already resistant to our volatile, dangerous, synthetic pesticide POISONS. We accidentally lose about 25,000 to 100,000 species of insects, plants and animals every year due to “man’s footprint”. But, after poisoning the entire world and contaminating every living thing for over 60 years with these dangerous and ineffective pesticide POISONS we have not even controlled much less eliminated even one pest species and every year we use/misuse more and more pesticide POISONS to try to “keep up”! Even with all of this expensive and unnecessary pollution – we lose more and more crops and lives to these thousand pests every year.
We are losing the war against these thousand pests mainly because we insist on using only synthetic pesticide POISONS and fertilizers There has been a severe “knowledge drought” – a worldwide decline in agricultural R&D, especially in production research and safe, more effective pest control since the advent of synthetic pesticide POISONS and fertilizers. Today we are like lemmings running to the sea insisting that is the “right way”. The greatest challenge facing humanity this century is the necessity for us to double our global food production with less land, less water, less nutrients, less science, frequent droughts, more and more contamination and ever-increasing pest damage.
National Poison Prevention Week, March 18-24,2007 was created to highlight the dangers of poisoning and how to prevent it. One study shows that about 70,000 children in the USA were involved in common household pesticide-related (acute) poisonings or exposures in 2004. At least two peer-reviewed studies have described associations between autism rates and pesticides (D’Amelio et al 2005; Roberts EM et al 2007 in EHP). It is estimated that 300,000 farm workers suffer acute pesticide poisoning each year just in the United States – No one is checking chronic contamination.
In order to try to help “stem the tide”, I have just finished re-writing my IPM encyclopedia entitled: THE BEST CONTROL II, that contains over 2,800 safe and far more effective alternatives to pesticide POISONS. This latest copyrighted work is about 1,800 pages in length and is now being updated at my new website at http://www.stephentvedten.com/ .
This new website at http://www.stephentvedten.com/ has been basically updated; all we have left to update is Chapter 39 and to renumber the pages. All of these copyrighted items are free for you to read and/or download. There is simply no need to POISON yourself or your family or to have any pest problems.
