Tonight I had the opportunity to see Dr. Palevsky, a renowned holistic pediatrician, speak for the second time on raising your child's immunity naturally. If you ever have an opportunity to see Dr. Palevsky speak, I can't recommend it highly enough! Do it! I'd love to use him as Emma's pediatrician but he's located in Manhattan and Long Island and it's a bit too far for us!
I really can't go into too much detail about what he spoke about--it was a lot of information! The best take away, I think, would be that illness is a good thing! Fever is a good thing! Your child gets sick because he or she has an overload of toxins and the fever/sickness is the body's way of eliminating the toxins. The last thing we should be doing is giving Tylenol to lower a fever. But anyway, I would suggest checking out Dr. Palevsky's website and checking out the media section. He has some good articles and interviews listed where you can learn more.

Dr. Larry is absolutely amazing! I'm sorry to hear he was in the area and I missed him! That's what happens when I'm not at Dr. B's office as regularly as I should be. I heard Dr. Larry a few years ago and it was some of the best information I've ever heard on children's immune systems.

Actually I found out about it through Holistic Moms. It was posted to the national loop.
