This guidebook provides essential information on SIDS, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with SIDS. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
