Reviews

Is this just another homeopathic book that will decorate your bookcase? Definitely not!

Homeopathy for the Modem Pregnant Woman and her Infant will undoubtedly become a frequently used and well-loved book for any homeopath working with pregnant women and newborn babies.

My congratulations and gratitude go to Sandra Perko for her invaluable contribution to the fields of both homeopathy and midwifery.

A helpful addition to any homeopathic midwife's library.

In two chapters, case-taking hints are included prior to the differentiations. I think these areas of focus will be very helpful to the midwife. These two chapters, offering homeopathic relief for problems that find little help elsewhere, were my personal favorites.

The thorough presentation on miscarriage, including treatment for chronic tendencies, is invaluable and will aid the midwife in focusing her attention on the most pertinent information required for successful resolution of the problem.

This book is written as a practical reference, which has quick and easy access especially for emergency situations. It is aimed specifically at the practice of midwifery, although it will prove very helpful for any practitioner who treats pregnant women.

I enjoyed the candid explanations of each subject followed by the keynote differentials, in order of importance. I have included this book in my birth supplies, and once you have studied this book you will too.

Thank you Sandra for your continued excellence and your enthusiasm for our profession.

The information given in this book is good, honest, straight forward homoeopathy, nothing fancy or dangerous. For any situations that might arise which are inherently serious you are recommended to get immediate medical advice.

Sandra knows her subject and gives us her knowledge in a very thorough and conscientious fashion. I do not know how she has made such a complicated subject look simple but she has.

It has been a real pleasure to read this book and I think that were I to be asked to be present at a birth it would be worth its weight in gold. I have in my library other books about pregnancy and birth but this book seems to me to be a most comprehensive treatise on the practical use of homeopathy before, during and after childbirth.

I would like to thank Sandra Perko for taking the time and effort to write this book and sincerely recommend it to those of you interested in the subject.

Sandra Perko has written a superb practical text for the physician and the midwife.

Comprehensive and thoroughly referenced, this extensive yet easily accessed book is a must for practitioners whose clients are interested in gentler, alternative ways of healing.
