Customer Reviews

Dr. Bob's advice: dead on.

When I first saw this book I thought... "18 days? Yeah, right." But I thought I didn't have anything to lose but a few dollars so I got it. We had tried all kinds of diets, vitamins, meds. Things would get better but not be entirely "back to normal". I read through Dr. Bob's book, took notes, implemented some of the thoughts... I read the entry of one of the readers below that talked about the parasites and wondered if perhaps that was it for us too. We had an appointment and saw a doctor. Parasites it was. Five days on a course of black walnut tincture and my daughter was a new child. She lost her diagnosis of ADHD the next doctor appointment we had. The teachers could not believe the difference. We are still in awe. Thank you Dr. Bob. Without you and your book, my daughter would still be on Concerta. And the health of our family would never have been improved from your other recommendations. For this and so much more, Dr. Bob: THANK YOU !!! PS We also HIGHLY recommend the daily devotional Dr. Bob has written. I don't have a friend who hasn't bought it after hearing some of the topics discussed in it - turning grey hair back, the hazards of peanut butter, better sleep, back pain solutions, bringing liver enzymes back to normal, migraines, and the list goes on and on with advice we had never ever heard before and my friends and I read A LOT of health books !!!

Noticed a difference in only 5 days!

My 3 year old son had been out of control for a long time. He had many symptoms of ODD. He had a short fuse and got angry easily. He always whined and wouldn't sleep through the night. Both my husband and I were at a breaking point, but knew we did NOT want to go the medication route. I always thought our family ate pretty healthy; we would limited our kids sugar/snack intake and we weren't a milk drinking family so I didn't think that my son's 'attitude' symptoms were food/mineral deficiant related. Boy, were we wrong! While reading Dr. Bob's book I compared my son's 'symptoms' to those in the book. Dr. Bob's book has been a lifesaver! We noticed a difference in only 5 days! We started w/ the nigtly salmon oil, added flax, changed to soy and rice milk and we are beginning to add vitamins and whole food minerals. We even started the program for all 3 my children. This book has added a bright future for our children and has given my husband and I the peace in knowing we are actually getting to the root of the problam instead of just medicating the problem. Thanks Dr. Bob.

Miracle Book

My son has ADHD and we have struggled for years with every type of medication the doctors pushed at us. My son did not do well on any of the medications that we trialed. He became someone else, lost in his own mind. He became very agressive, alienated, depressed,not able to gain weight or sleep. I made the decision that I wanted to try something different than the medications that made my child foreign to me. Thank god that one of my friends had started seeing Dr. Bob and told me about this book. I was very skeptical at first. I remember thinking to my self that there was no way this was going to work by food modification and vitamins. A few weeks after we started the modifications to the diet I started noticing little changes. About 3 months into it I could not believe that I had my child back. He was happy again, wanting to play outside and with his friends. He could concentrate at school and was not angry or defiant anymore.He had put on about 8 pounds. Best of all he was off the medication and his body was health again.

Dr. Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days

I am so thankful that I discovered this book one and a half months ago. My 6 year old little boy has always been hyper and was having an increasingly difficult time at school. His teacher knew that we did not want to medicate him and had been trying to use behavioral charts and reward to encourage him. He was suppose to receive 4 stars a day for sitting still and listening quietly. Day after day he came home with either one or no stars. At this point I found this book. We always ate fairly healthy...but I began using more organic products. I gave him an excellent natural vitamin, magnesium and began giving him flax oil each day. Dr. Bob wrote that Omega3 has a half life of 18 days and therefore effects should be seen in that time period. Amazingly...this happened...after three weeks of flax oil...my son began receiving 4 stars...we have now had three weeks of consistent 4 star days. He is so proud and we are just amazed. Every time I go into school I now hear something positive about my little guy...he is still high energy...but it is a different level...he can control it now, and calm down when he is told and even monitor himself and behave in the way that he knows is appropriate. I just need to say thank-you Dr. Bob...your book has really changed the life of our son and our whole family!

Stop the Ritalin

Dr Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD is too good to be true BUT it is! After reading his book a year ago and resisting the change, our eldest son's(11yrs old) school strongly encouraging us to put him on Ritalin (yes, they used the R word during the conference and even stated there are no "proven" side effects) On 1/2/06, our entire family made the change and choice to follow Dr. Bob's book. A miracle happened! Our son is focused, writing on the lines of his paper, answering questions in class and getting A's(yes, multiply A grades). Teachers have noticed the difference and told my son, which increased his self esteem. Anyone who has watched their child/children struggle with this lable of ADHD or ADD knows that self esteem is a issue and to watch your child regain their self worth is priceless!! So, yes this book really works coupled with our two times a week adjustments. Remember, just because someone has MD in their title does not mean they have all the answers. Always ask questions and know NOBODY knows your child like you do! Be confident! You can do this change even though our culture says "pop a pill". Visit www.drbob4health.com Peace :)
