There is no cure for chickenpox, and the virus usually clears up by itself without any treatment. The information in this book is designed to help reduce the discomfort of chickenpox, and prevent it from spreading. This is consistent with information about the disease that can be found on the web, free, at the Center For Disease Control (CDC). The same info is available on the web, free, at the UK National Health Service (NHS). Therefore, if it is information you seek, those sources are recommendable. What makes this book worth having on your Kindle is what you find in chapter five of this book. You find the top fifteen home remedies. These home remedies all have the intent and purpose of easing the itch and discomfort, and to stop chickenpox from spreading.Home remedies include honey, baking soda, vinegar, oatmeal, calamine lotion and ginger, to name a few. Neither the CDC nor the NHS websites mention these treatments. These home remedies have been passed down from generation to generation through the centuries of recorded time. They work, as I can testify personally to the calamine lotion my mother would reach for anytime my sisters broke out in a rash. Overall, the book is informative, and capable of providing any person with a variety of ways to relieve their symptoms by using home remedies. What the book does not do, however, is replace a medical doctor. A doctor should always be consulted before trying out a home remedy.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofHow to Coach A Debate Team
