In Dr. Shook's book, he tells of a midwife, "An elderly nurse who recently called on me for some raspberry leaves bore testimony to the effectiveness of raspberry leaf tea." She said, "I have been a nurse and midwife for 37 years and during that time, I have taken (delivered) two thousand children (babies) without losing a single case. The only medicine I give during labor is raspberry leaf tea with a little composition powder in it, which is very precious, as you know, and even if the child is not coming right, it will cause it to turn and produce an easy and speedy delivery."

You could hear the baby screaming in the background. Her voice sounded desperate and she said, 'I wish I knew what to do for the baby. I think she's cutting teeth and she has been crying now for two days. I've tried everything that the doctor suggested and that I can think of but nothing works. I feel like I'm losing my mind.' My daughter was modern and not into herbs yet. I asked her if she had given the baby any of that raspberry leaf tea that I had sent to her. She said 'She won't take anything.' I said, 'Try to give her some RED RASPBERRY LEAF TEA and make sure she gets a good taste of it.' We got a call back and she said somewhat embarrassed, 'I think I've seen a miracle. When the baby got a taste of that tea, she grabbed the bottle out my hand and drank it all. She had stopped crying, but I gave her another bottle of the tea anyway, and she drank that, too.' She called back later and said the baby had slept well that night so she gave her more tea the next day. That night, the tooth came through, and thanks to the raspberry leaf tea it was not such a harrowing experience."
