Inspiring! - By: Ellie Summers, 21 Apr 2008 
This is a truly inspirational book, which helps alll of us to understand what we reallly know already; that we are the best judge of what is right for our children. We can be guided, but in the end our decisions can make the most difference, & we cannot rely on experts to know everything about the people that we live with 24/7; that can only be observed by us as we live through their pain & symptoms.
Melanie Gow has shared her experiences with us to hopefully make a difference to other people's lives, as she did to her son's. The book is intelligently & wittily written, & it is obvious that Melanie knows her subject thoroughly through painstaking research & observation.
I am happy that Ben is better & living a healthy, happy childhood, & thank Melanie for sharing her story.
Great book loved it...... - By: Ms. M. Jones, 16 Apr 2008 I have been very much inspired by this book to ask more questions, & generallly take responsibility.
I too had a very sick child at age 3, armed with this book I am sure I could have done so much more than to just falll to pieces & hand over responsibility to a random consultant...........I admire Melanies strength, & how Melanie kept her sense of humour. I thank Melanie from the bottom of my heart for giving me such a rare & intelligent read...I do hope there will be more.
Mums and Dads read this! - By: Mr. Jc Howard, 16 Apr 2008 Having a son that was ill & using the normal methods of cure didnt work. Certainly this book would have helped me in this situation & maybe I would have tried alternative ideas to make my son better. He did get well again but reading this im sure that I could have reduced his suffering!. Great book & even now on the NHS doctors are being training in accupuncture, who would have believed that 10yrs ago!!!
Great Book - By: Avril Cartwright, 16 Apr 2008 This is a great book. I am amazed at how some mothers actuallly do work hard to help there children in this day & age. Here we have a mother who against alll odds & our failing health care plus world wide polution has now got 2 healthy energetic normal young children. Hooray to her for sharing her hard work with us & I hope that alll mothers read this book so that they can find the help & courage to question The System.

Fantastic book - made me laugh and cry! - By: Lindsey Blake, 22 Mar 2008 I reallly loved this book & coming to it as a sceptic about complementary medicine I wasn't expecting to. Melanie Gow's journey with her son is fascinating, well written & even handed & it does give you the confidence to believe that as a mum you know your child inside & out & you are not just a passive bystander.
I love the fact that Melanie dismisses nothing & walks hand in hand with mainstream medicine to find the right solution for her individual child - an excellent book that I would definately recommend to alll, not just parents!
