review 1: This book was life changing for my family. Because of the information and encouragement to investigate given by the author we were able to trace down the dietary factors that were causing ADHD type symptoms in my son. He went from being a child struggling how to fit within his own skin to a vibrate child who no longer had to struggle just to make it through the day. I am thankful for the support I received through this book which allowed me to support my son.
review 2: This book had some new information that I had not previously read, but overall it was not as complete as I thought it would be. It gave examples using the same tricks and tips over and over again. In summary: If your child has any sort of ailment, try an elimination diet. Start with dairy, gluten
... more, soy, and eggs. Also, add supplements of fish oil, zinc, probiotics, and/or magnesium as necessary for the specific ailment. If that still doesn't work, cut out all non-organic and GMO foods. There. I saved you a few hours of reading. I was quite annoyed with our pediatrician after reading one chapter with an example of keratosis pilaris being treated with fish oil. Both of my boys have this skin condition. I have been giving them fish oil for over a month in hopes that it will help with other ailments. After reading the chapter, I checked my sons' arms and, sure enough, most of the bumps are gone. Thanks, Doc. No more crappy steroid creams that don't work anyway!Now to bring up some of this info at the next dr's appt and see how he responds... less
