Partners in Pediatrics Introduces Naturally Healthy Kids, a Reference Book for Illness and Wellness in Children Now Available Nationwide

Posted on: Thursday, 13 December 2007, 12:00 CST

Partners in Pediatrics, a leading Denver-area pediatric practice that integrates both conventional and alternative medicines into their patient care approaches, announced today that a guidebook written by four of its well-known doctors is now being sold nationally.

Naturally Healthy Kids, authored by Jerry Rubin, MD, Dean Prina, MD (a several-time winner of Denver lifestyle magazine 5280's annual best doctor ranking), Nancy Lataitis, MD, and Jordan Klein, MD, is an A to Z guide for both illness and wellness. The book highlights many common illnesses in children and integrates both conventional medicine and holistic treatments for each of them.

The new Naturally Healthy Kids is an easy-to-use guide to common childhood conditions and an essential handbook for all parents, teachers, daycare providers and anyone who cares for children. Each of the many illnesses covered in this spiral-bound handbook are categorized in the following sections: description/physiology, causes/epidemiology, expected course, contagiousness/immunity, home care, integrated therapies, when to call, and prevention. The book, published by Cardinal Publishers Group (ISBN 0977394921), sells for $24.95 and is available at amazon.com, bn.com, the Tattered Cover Bookstore (Denver) and by visiting www.naturallyhealthykids.com or calling Cardinal Publishers at 317-879-0871. It makes for an excellent gift choice at holiday time or any time.

"For the past 30 years, Partners in Pediatrics has been providing patient families with guide books that help them learn more about the home care of illnesses affecting their children. By having this information available to them at their fingertips, our families have become more knowledgeable about their children's conditions and comfortable when caring for them. Since our philosophy is based on the integration of conventional and alternative medicine approaches, we recognize that our guidebook should reflect the many options available in medicine today," said Dr. Rubin.

Dr. Prina added: "The book was released locally to our patient families and is now being made available via national distribution, since it had been so well received among the thousands of families that are part of our practice. Our hope is that many families outside our practice will benefit from the wealth of knowledge and background information Naturally Healthy Kids offers the reader."

Dr. Lataitis said: "Families want safe options for nurturing their kids back to good health, especially now that the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have expressed concerns about overuse of antibiotics and over the counter cold and cough medications in children. Naturally Healthy Kids can provide that guidance. And with flu season upon us now, Naturally Healthy Kids can prove to be an even more valuable resource. "

Naturally Healthy Kids was recently named a finalist in Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year awards, which honor excellence in independent publishing. The awards were bestowed in June 2007.

Partners in Pediatrics, with offices in both Central and Southeast Denver, is an innovative practice which forges partnerships between patients, parents and health care providers by offering holistic and preventive pediatric care for Denver-area children. Founded in 1977 with the primary goal of providing the highest quality and most comprehensive pediatric health care available in a private-practice setting, Partners in Pediatrics built a solid reputation, based on a commitment to quality care and a progressiveness in bringing patients the best options available in modern medicine.
