Synopsis
The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition is the updated and vastly expanded second edition of The M.O.P. Book, a groundbreaking manual for resolving bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), daytime pee accidents (enuresis), and poop accidents (encopresis). Triple the length of the first edition, the new volume is for parents who are tired of waiting for their child to “outgrow” accidents — who think they have “tried everything.” The pediatric urology team at Mayo Clinic calls M.O.P. “incredibly effective.” Parents call it “life changing” and “a life saver.” If your family is worn out from your child’s struggles with accidents, you will be grateful for The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition. M.O.P. stands for the Modified O’Regan Protocol, a regimen named for Sean O’Regan, M.D., a pioneer in bedwetting research. The four-phase regimen, based on a combination of enemas and laxatives, has been modified by pediatric urologist Steve Hodges, M.D., of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Published research shows M.O.P. is the only reliable solution to bedwetting and daytime accidents — far more effective than medication, bedwetting alarms, or Miralax. M.O.P. is based on a simple, proven fact: bedwetting is caused by chronic, severe constipation. Stool piles up in the rectum, pressing against the bladder; only when the rectum is cleared out on a daily basis can it shrink back to size and stop aggravating the bladder. The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition not only updates the first edition, offering Dr. Hodges’ revised recommendations in great detail, but also includes an entire second book, Answers to 52 Questions About M.O.P. formerly sold only as an ebook on the author’s website. The anthology also includes tracking calendars for parents and children, safety guidelines and step-by-step instructions, plus “The Physician’s Guide to M.O.P,” created for parents to hand to their medical professionals. The Anthology Edition offers new insight into: •collaborating with your doctor and your child •adjusting the protocol if your child is not progressing •minimizing the odds of relapse •managing M.O.P. on vacation The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition builds on Dr. Hodges’ acclaimed first book, It’s No Accident, also written with veteran health and parenting author Suzanne Schlosberg. Dr. Hodges and Suzanne also have collaborated with illustrator Cristina Acosta on three related — and very clever! — children’s books, Bedwetting and Accidents Aren’t Your Fault, Jane and the Giant Poop, and Dr. Pooper’s Activity Book and Poop Calendar for Kids.
