Thanks for writing---I think all of us new moms can relate! I also worked in the medical field for some time, and am not anti-medicine by any means, but am constantly trying to find the balance of traditional vs. alternative vs. complimentary medicine.

I'm sorry it took SO many doctor visits to find out what your children's conditions were. Just to be devil's advocate for a moment (I haven't read your book, and this is just from your post, for the benefit of other readers), I had two questions after reading your post:
1. Did you need to see so many doctors because the conditions were difficult to diagnose, or were there that many doctors who were not listening and blowing you off?
2. Who finally diagnosed your children? Was it medical doctors practicing traditional medicine, or did you find a practitioner in complimentary or alternative medicine?

Thanks!!!! I really look forward to hearing more about your experiences, and hope you comment on some of our parenting posts..your insight will be invaluable!
