First Aid and Beyond

From the Book

Accidents happen whether you and your family are working at home or enjoying outdoor activities. First Aid & Beyond covers first aid protocol, including comprehensive information from the American Red Cross, while offering homeopathic treatment and pharmacy data.

Basic enough to be used by children and complete enough to meet the needs of active adults, the manual is written by dr. Suzette Lanzarotta, a doctor of chiropractic and homeopathy, with more than 15 years experience in the field of health.

Each situation is individually detailed, beginning with traditional first aid and followed by the appropriate homeopathic treatment, including how much, how often and when to discontinue remedies.

First Aid & Beyond provides a simple, safe and straightforward approach to familiar information while taking the individual a step forward with new self-help information.

Details

This book is a first aid manual designed to take emergency care to a new level by integrating homeopathy into what we already know and use for the treatment of injuries and accidents.

Experience has shown Lanzarotta that traditional and non-traditional forms of medicine can, and do, compliment one another, and thus can be safely and successfully applied in emergency and first aid situations.
