For more than four decades Marina Petropulos has disseminated medical information that is internationally regarded and up to date.

As a mother I have often complained that human babies come into the world raw and ill-equipped for survival. If only they could pull themselves upright after birth, like deer, do on their shaky marionette stringed legs and wobble over to find the teat.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: A – Z has a list of important information, such as ADENOIDS, ADHD, ALLERGIES, EARACHE, EPILEPSY, GENETIC DEFECTS, IMMUNISATION, SLEEPING PROBLEMS, STEM CELL THERAPY and many more.

Under 'ALLERGIES', the LEAP study is an example. Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAD), who in 2018 ranked as the most highly cited researcher of all time, declared that: 'For a study to show a benefit of this magnitude in the prevention of peanut allergy is without precedent. The results of which have the potential to transform how we approach food allergy prevention.'

'IMMUNISATION' lists the vaccines against communicable diseases, and addresses some of the controversies that circulate around immunisation.

CASE HISTORIES has descriptions of the interaction of parents and their children.

- For example, Aziz, as a loving father, who cannot understand why despite many hidings his sons still misbehave...

- Or Trevor, the terrified tyrant, whose loving parents indulged his every whim; developed overwhelming fear of being left alone by his parents.

- Jeanie slipped into a depressive state and was unable to relate to her baby. It was only when the clinic picked up that her baby was not making babbling sounds that more questions were asked. With psychotherapy and medication, Jeanie made a good recovery and her baby responded to intensive, but sensitive stimulation.
