Self-Help Health
Here’s a book for every parent whose child suffers from mood
swings, allergies, ear infections, eczema, anxiety,
tantrums, ADD/ADHD, picky eating, lack of growth, and a host
of other physical, behavioral, or developmental problems. This is an important book! Written by Kelly Dorfman, a
sought-after nutritionist whose typical family in her
practice comes to her after already having seen three or
more medical specialists, What’s Eating Your Child?
brilliantly reveals the hidden connections between nutrition
and chronic childhood ailments while giving parents simple,
straightforward tools to understand and solve their
children’s problems. Grounded in cutting-edge science and filled with case
studies that read like medical thrillers, What’s Eating Your
Child? reveals that what children eat affects how they
thrive. There’s in-depth information on the surprising
problems caused by gluten-intolerance, and—short of
full-blown celiac disease—how difficult it is to diagnose.
On why artificial sweeteners are worse than sugar, and why
soy milk is a poor substitute for cow’s milk. On how to cure
sleep disorders with melatonin, hyperactivity with
magnesium, anxiety with fish oil. Parents learn quickly how
to become their own nutrition detectives, and how to
implement the very simple EAT program to recalibrate their
children’s diets. They’ll understand, at last, how to talk
with a doctor about nutrition; why to choose organic; how to
pick quality vitamins, minerals, probiotics and supplements;
and how to get their children off drugs—antiobiotics,
laxatives, Prozac, Ritalin—and back to a natural state of
well-being.
