Sherman Oaks, CA (PRWEB) May 26, 2004 -- Local author and business owner team
up to help educate parents about natural solutions for health and emotional
problems affecting children. On June 7, 2004, Kathy Arnos and Capitol Drugs
pharmacy will donate copies of Arnos’ new book The Complete Teething Guide –
From Birth to Adolescence to 68 branches of the Los Angeles library through the
library’s Sherman Oaks location, 14245 Moorpark St., at 11:30a.m. Their mission,
“Empowering parents through the gift of knowledge.”
The Complete Teething
Guide – From Birth to Adolescence (Spirit Dance Publishing) is more than a book
about teething, it offers information on nutrition during pregnancy, while
breastfeeding and for the newborn through adolescence; how breastfeeding and
bottle-feeding affect tooth and jaw development; fluoride safety; hazards,
cautions and emergency situations; hygiene; alternative orthodontic appliances;
and natural treatment options for teething-related symptoms such as fevers,
nightmares/terrors, ADD/ADHD, sleeplessness, digestive upset, diaper rash,
headaches, earaches, anxiety, croup and sinus. Arnos’ new book carries
endorsements from pediatricians, dentists and celebrities like Kim Basinger,
Erin Gray and comedian Sandra Sing-Loh.
Arnos is an internationally
recognized author, teacher and healing consultant specializing in children’s
issues. She began her professional writing career in 1988 as publisher and
editor of Mother to Mother: Another View, a newsletter focusing on alternative
health and environmental issues for the entire family. She started the
newsletter as a response to her daughter Danielle’s chronic illness after
childhood vaccines, and her journey back to good health through natural healing
methods.
In an effort to learn more about natural health, in 1987 Arnos
went to work for Loyd Tittle, founder of Capitol Drugs pharmacy, a unique
business that brought traditional and alternative therapies together under one
roof. Tittle offered Arnos an opportunity to do research for her newsletter
while working in his store, and became one of her first advertisers and
co-supporter in educating parents.
Nineteen years later, Capitol Drugs
continues to be a leader in the natural health industry providing the community
with a combination of full-service pharmacy, homeopathic medicine, herbs,
nutrition, and sports nutrition. Their trained staff of professionals includes,
Doctors of Pharmacy and Homeopathy, nutritionists and herbalists who are
available to educate customers with up to date health information, as well as
possible interactions between drugs, herbs and nutrients.
Together, Arnos
and Capitol Drugs believe that an educated patient is an empowered patient, and
support this commitment both individually and as a team. Arnos educates parents
though her books, Mother to Mother: Another View (a free online newsletter),
lectures and parenting classes. Capitol Drugs offers free community lectures on
a wide variety of issues at both of their locations, Sherman Oaks and West
Hollywood. They also publish Creative Health International, a quarterly
newsletter, to help inform their patients and customers about current health
challenges, preventive methods and offer natural solutions.
The Los
Angeles Times dubbed Arnos, "Medicine Mom" and L.A. Weekly called her the "Good
Mother." She has appeared on local and national television and radio shows,
including a special report on holistic medicine with Laura Diaz in the early
1990’s, which aired on the Channel 7 Eyewitness News in Los
Angeles.
Arnos has been lecturing and helping parents for more than 16
years and states, "My daughter has definitely been my teacher, opening my eyes
to another view. As parents, it is our job and responsibility to keep our
children safe and healthy, which means doing research in order to make informed
choices. My goal is not to convert other parents into believing my truth, but to
give them the tools and knowledge they need to help them make educated decisions
about what is right for their child – their truth. I hope my new book, The
Complete Teething Guide offers parents this guidance."
