If your child suffers from bad headaches, then you know all too well the panic and frustration they cause -- and not just for your child, who may be too young or unwell to articulate what he's feeling, but for everyone in the family. When over-the-counter medications don't work and your pediatrician doesn't have an answer, you can now turn to preeminent headache and migraine expert Dr. Seymour Diamond for help.
In Headache and Your Child, he gives parents information on the most up-to-date diagnostic tools and treatment options available for this increasingly common childhood illness. Dr. Diamond's extensive experience guides you from accurate identification through the best therapy for your child's specific problem, focusing particularly on migraines -- the most common acute headache in children and adolescents. He also discusses the whole gamut of possible headache causes, from stress through more serious conditions. With this book as a guide, you'll find:
Help in identifying what type of headache your child experiences so you can quickly find the most effective, appropriate treatments
Step-by-step exercises for controlling pain
A diet that helps identify migraine triggers
Alternatives to adult medications too strong for treating children
Information about biofeedback, relaxation methods, and much more

There is help for children.......2006-11-30
I literally just completed an inpatient treatment program provided by the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago. They were very helpful in reducing the severity of my 21+ year daily chronic headache/migraine. This clinic was founded by Dr. Seymour Diamond. My son also suffers from bad migraines. Most neurologists have been hesitant to treat him because if his age. The Diamond Headache Clinic work with children without hesitation. The doctors here and this book have a wealth of information. I am anxious to apply some of the things I learned there, such as biofeedback and low tyramine diet, with my son.
Good Technical Book.......2006-06-21
Dr, Diamond has put together a book full good information relating to childhood headaches. It seems the book is targeted at other Doctors as much as it is for parents. Overall this book was helpful in learning about my daughters migrains but the diary section at the end was a little hard to use. Through my research to help my daughters I found a book that works great and is simple for parent and child to use. The title is "The Headache Detective" by John Ricker. It's a headache workbook designed for children that is easy to follow. It is prabably a little more helpful pinpointing what is causing your child's headache than Dr Diamond's book. Both books were helpfull
Just what the doctor ordered.......2002-03-29
Headache and Your Child is "just what the doctor ordered."
In searching for information on abdominal migraines I kept coming across the name, Dr. Seymour Diamond. This book has helped us understand migraines and their causes as well as inform us about current treatment options that are available, everything from medication to biofeedback. Through the use of case studies, Dr. Diamond discusses up-to-date diagnostic tools and treatments. He reassures parents that while there are sometimes very serious underlying conditions, not every headache is an indicator of a brain tumor.
I highly recommend this as a "must have" book for the parent of any child that suffers from headaches, not just migraines. It can help in identifying the type of headache your child experiences and offer suggestions of appropriate treatments. If your child has already been diagnosed with migraines, it is still a wonderful reference book.
Just what the doctor ordered.......2002-03-29
Headache and Your Child is "just what the doctor ordered." My child would double over in pain for no apparent reason. The doctors couldn't pinpoint any cause for the episodes. We had been searching for answers for over a year when we came back to the idea of possible migraines.

Customer Reviews:
There are only a few of their real mediums ...........2007-01-20
John Edwards is no fake. I have seen him in person and it was real. His books are excellent and I am not a devoted reader of hardly anything. I could not put his books down becuase they are so easy to relate too. If you ever get a chance to go to one of his reading ....you do not have to buy the most expensive seats becuase the reading were located in the cheapers seating at the show. In fact, it was all over but mostly in the least expensive ticket area. If your family is coming thru they do not care how much you paid to get in...they are going to come thru.
Excellent meditation cd!.......2006-08-15
John Edward takes you on a beautiful journey to a tropical island where you will cleanse yourself and bask in the light of the universe. Imagine white light descending upon you and massaging your entire body removing all negativity. You will also, open and align your chakras, learn how to relax through breathing exercises and meditation, which will prepare you for meeting your guides and angels. You will listen to a guided meditation to meet your spirit guides, animal guide and those who have passed on. John, as we all know tends to talk very fast, well there is no exception here, only he talks a bit quieter and there is quiet hypnotic music in the background that helps one relax. I've heard a lot of tapes on this subject, and think very highly of this one. I even use it in my classes and have had great success with it.
The only down side would be the fast talk. When you buy a meditation tape, you are always expecting a slow, kind of quiet voice. It is quiet and not at superspeed, but for some, it may be hard to relax into it, but I have't actually been told that by anyone yet and that's why I give it 5 stars. I would say, listen to him on tv with your eyes closed. Now he does talk slower than when he is on tv, so if you can relax into that, this cd will work for you.
Love the thoughts of this audio series.......2005-09-29
Even though this tape series is included in John Bigger package of How to develop your own psychic powers.
This tape is a stand alone with wonderful information on angels and guides. The best is the meditation. John has a great voice and can take you on a journey to metting you guides.
Good meditations, just talks too fast.......2004-07-16
I really have enjoyed John Edward's meditations, especially the one "meeting my spiritual guides". What bothers me is he just talks way too fast and doesn't give you a chance to linger in the meditation. One meets their guide and John Edward instructs to ask several rapid questions such as their name, what I am to learn during this meditation and before he takes a breath and gives a chance to hear the answers we are asked to say good bye. I would of liked it better if he guides us to ask prepared questions on the instructional side of the tape and gives a chance to hear the answer to our question while he stays quiet for a minute. I do like that John Edward speaks in easy to visualize terms.
These Tapes Will Help But..........2004-05-15
I have to agree with namedujour. John does rush through the breathing and leaves you gasping for air to try to catch up...even after years of being guided along with his meditations I still find myself consciously aware that...I cannot breath like that!
It's also true that at the end of one of the meditations you're left hanging a bit. I would have liked it if he allowed more time to visualize and connect. So I often find myself favouring the chakra meditation over that one.
However, regardless of those two minor flaws in the tapes, they WILL help guide you and open you Spiritually!
John started me years ago on a great Spiritual journey that has and will have life long lasting effects as he taught me to open my awareness and my paradigms.
If you're at the place where you can feel it in your heart, that feeling, that longing for a Spiritual awakening...ready to put aside old school traditions and wake your Spirit up to Spiritual truth then these tapes will definitely help you on that journey of life!
Let John help you become more Spiritually aware as you open up your mind and soul to Universal Truth!
Book Description
From a homeopathic "constitutional analysis" standpoint, a true romantic partnership is only possible through an understanding of self and what makes one fulfilled. This unusual guide analyzes the personality types and emotional dynamics of 50 different film characters to show readers how to discover themselves and their ideal partner. Drawing on her vast film knowledge, Liz Lalor uses examples ranging from Bogart and Hepburn in The African Queen to characters from American Splendor to demonstrate how self-knowledge is the key component in finding lasting love.

Cuts bleed, sore throats look red, and bee stings leave visible bumps, but ear infections seldom offer such obvious clues to their severity. My Ear Hurts! equips parents with a succinct guide for assessing symptoms, choosing the best course of treatment, and reducing their child's chances of developing further infections. The lesson begins with ear basics: how the outer, inner, and middle ear function; why kids are prone to ear infection; and how to discern which part of the ear is infected, based on a child's symptoms. A helpful description of causes and risk factors nicely segues into the "good parts," where professor of otolaryngology Ellen M. Friedman, M.D., and James P. Barassi, D.C., talk shop about doctor visits, medications (primarily antibiotics), surgery, and alternative treatments (herbal remedies, homeopathy, chiropractic, and massage). Their chapters on preventing ear infections and coping with an ill child offer many simple steps to aid frustrated parents. Throughout the book, Friedman and Barassi maintain an empathic tone, steering clear of confusing doctor-speak. Large, simple diagrams, helpful lists, and bullet items in the book's margin make My Ear Hurts! an effective resource for every family's library. --Liane Thomas
Book Description
Every parent who has heard the plaintive cry "My ear hurts!" knows that ear infections are among the most troubling childhood ailments. In fact, by the time they turn three years old, 75 percent of children have had at least one ear infection, and nearly 50 percent of these children have suffered more than three ear infections. "My Ear Hurts!" offers clear explanations of the causes of ear infections and up-to-the-minute discussions of: -traditional medications, including the overuse of antibiotics -surgical treatments, from insertion of ear tubes to new laser techniques -alternative treatment options, such as herbal and homeopathic remedies and chiropractic treatment Also included are: -tips on how to spot common allergies or irritants that cause or exacerbate infections -advice on how to talk to your child about the infection and its treatment -guidelines on what to do when your child is under someone else's supervision -recommendations for when surgery is -- and is not -- necessary and how to communicate with your child's doctor With information that is both accessible and authoritative, "My Ear Hurts!" provides much-needed help and proven solutions to concerned parents and caregivers.
Book Description
A radical, new approach, Spiritual Parenting is a guide to caring for the naturally intuitive and spiritual core of every child. In the words of authors, counselors, and ministers Hugh and Gayle Prather, "This book reflects our deep personal conviction that parenting is a spiritual path, a form of worship." In their characteristically warm style, the Prathers offer a book of principles and practices that parents can use to understand and nurture their children at home, at school, and in the world. While a belief in God isn't necessary to understand and apply this approach, parents are encouraged to learn how to focus on the spiritual aspects of child care amid the bewildering everyday complexities involved in guiding children toward adulthood.
With humor and realism, the Prathers tell stories and anecdotes about their own children and the children of families they have counseled to help today's parents break through conflicting ideas, emotions, and impasses. Through Spiritual Parenting, they will learn how to cherish and enjoy their children at all stages of their growth.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful book with one reservation..........2002-07-06
The Prathers work is one of true insight and striking sincerity. I was touched deeply by it and continue to be as I refer back to it. One thing of minor note (and what prevents the fifth star) that is not mentioned in any review I read is that this book delivers a strongly Christian message. I am not a Christian, I do however keep an open mind and do not let my personal understanding of spirituality interfere with my acceptance of the wisdom this book delivers.
If we all could be parents like this.......2001-02-10
Or, what if I had had parents like this?? After sitting on my shelf for almost 4 years, I listened to the cassette tape version of this book several weeks ago. Somehow that was OK because I'm not sure that I really could have unederstood and taken this book to heart until recently (I was well prepped by reading Alice Miller's 'For Your Own Good' just before). I liked the tape because I could hear the Prather's own voices. And what they say is wonderful and loving for children. Unfortunately, what they recommend is not the norm in our culture. They recommend love, compassion and total respect for our child's identity. Our culture, on the other hand, increasingly speaks to discipline, punishment and abandonment. The world is changed one person at a time, and if only a few people become loving parents because of this book, then the world will be blessed with more stable, loving and creative children. - - If you want the other side of this paradigm, how socially accepted child-rearing, what most of us have been taught is 'normal,' frequently involves abuse and cruelty, then pick up anything by Alice Miller. Miller's work over the past 20 years underscores the value of the Prather's approach.
This book changed the way I parent forever.......2000-06-03
The Prathers laid out the rational for a parenting style that I instinctively knew was right. They also made some complex emotional issues seem very simple. I no longer get angry with my children. Its a must for all parents.
A MUST READ FOR ALL PARENTS!!!!!.......1998-10-23
Spiritual Parenting is the most valuable parenting book I have read so far and I have read a lot. As a Social Worker and single mother to a toddler, I was in awe of the Prather's insight and their light. I cried, I laughed and I loved this book. Their philosophy so matches mine and it felt wonderful to read about other parents taking parenthood so seriously. Truly, our children are gifts from God.
Excellent spiritual approach to everyday interaction.......1998-09-04
This book has started me on a path of child rearing I had only hoped to achieve with the birth of my first daughter. Having begun motherhood in my forties, it is especially important to me to become the mother I believe in. The Prathers have pointed me toward my goal. On the worst of days in the most stressed situations, there is always the perfect paragraph to help me adjust moods; better interaction with my little one undoubtedly follows.
Thanks to the Prathers, I believe I have an opportunity to forge a deeper, more long lasting relationship with my child and to approach my spiritual self at a much higher level.
If you are a parent, you need this book. If you have the book, read it. Refer back to it regularly. You couldn't give a better gift to friends and family.
