Perfect Information for any age!!!

This book is very informative & a wonderful source for all age groups. The NDD Book & Feingold Association have the some mind set, but The NDD Book gives you scientific background. I love it!!!

Another great book from the Sears family

My wife and I are already over half way done with this book. Similar to other books written by the Sears (especially the Vaccine Book) this book is easy to read yet very informative. The book includes great recipe suggestions for all meals. We especially enjoy the "brainy breakfasts" recipes. Our little boy (14 months) has had problems with constipation ever since he began the slow transition to solids. After reading some of the recipes we tried Dr. Sears "Stool-aid/School-aid" smoothie (pg. 182) and our boy's bowels immediately improved and we haven't had had problems since we've been drinking it. The book's information regarding the dangers of food additives and substitutes currently out on the market helps parents make wise and informed decisions about what food to offer their children. It also explains how children's nutrition directly affects the way they act. This is a book we will be sad to see end. The information is great for everyone young and old. We could all learn a little more about how to eat well and especially how to teach the up and coming generations the same.
