I totally agree with nutrient recommendations to help a child achieve good health, and therefore, better behavior and learning. However, this book is clearly an advertisement for the author's supplements. There are ways to get the same nutrients in supplements available at the nearest health food store, some grocery stores and online. I have done this myself and saw miraculous results in my daughter. Unfortunately, the author doesn't share with us the nutrient make up of his supplements, so we are unable to do it conveniently. I am also unable to find his products at my local store, thereby am unable to see the nutritional breakdown. I may head to the internet to see how it stacks up to the protocol I used. Or I may not.

The recipes at the end of the book are fairly allergen-friendly. If you are looking to avoid gluten, dairy and eggs, there are many choices.

This was an interesting book to read as I do have a strong interest in preparing healthier foods for my family. I already try to stick to natural, whole foods for the most of our diet, and mostly avoid processed foods, but do also give wheat flour bread and crackers as well as dairy and sweets. Since no one in my family seems to have any food intolerances I have not had the motivation to eliminate entire food groups. I have taken some steps to reduce our intake of dairy and to reduce sugar, however I have learned that there is so much more that I can and should do. But will I?

Gave my a better understanding of why one of my kids suffers from different foods. I have been to this man's clinic as part of an ADHD study (not for me!) and like what he has to say. Helped me improve the way I feed my family.

A lot of great information, but too much promotion of his products.
