I would suggest that if a health care professional requires more documentation than what is in Tom Hale's book, Auerbach and Riordan, Lawrence, etc, he or she can do a MedLine search. NLM's search service to access the 9 million citations in MEDLINE and Pre-MEDLINE (with links to participating on-line journals), and other related databases. http://www4.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ I for one am continually amazed at those who demand documentation with regard to breastfeeding (this is fine by itself) , and who then practice and give incorrect information without any documentation whatsoever. For instance, today I have had two instances where a health care provider has refused to treat a mother for Candida, but who didn't bother to check the medications that I suggested ( from Jack's ointment concoction). He just said "no," "I can't prescribe that." ACK. Kathleen Kathleen B. Bruce, BSN, IBCLC co-owner Lactnet,TLC, Indep.
