If you are reading this review you probably aren't the kind of parent that wants to just hand your kid something to eat to fill them up [or to get them to shut up].
Why spend the money to feed your kids anything less than nutritionally what they need. And why would you feed them something that actually depletes the nutrition you are trying so hard to give them [such as hydrogenated oils which prevent your child's body from absorbing other nutrients it needs]?
This book makes it clear what they need & what they don't need. Something I found very helpful was the explanation of how much of certain vitamins/minerals is too much - blocking absorption of other necessary nutrients.
Another thing I found helpful was the chapter on what to start feeding your 6 month - 1 yr. old. It lists what to start them on & what to hold off on & explains why. The prenatal chapter is good as well & I wish I had this book when I was pregnant.
It's really not that hard. It's very basic nutritional information just well explained. Unless perhaps you have extremely bad habits to begin with, it's really not difficult to feed your kids & yourself basic whole foods. Read the labels! All the sugar/fructose corn syrup/hydrogenated oils/salt you have been eating & giving your kids starts to taste way too sweet/plastic. If you are deep in suburbia [right, you aren't going to be able to feed them out of the fashion mall food court] it may be hard for you to get organic foods but if you start requesting them [& other items] your stores will start to carry them. [most people I know that say they can't afford organic foods spend a lot on cable tv every month] You don't have to do oyster stew everyday, he often recommends red meat & whole milk as well. But you may quickly realize these are lifestyle changes that you want to make since it is so beneficial to your child's health & development of their brain, eyes, etc.
Great format & an easy read.
THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE FOUND ON ECZEMA FOR CHILDREN OR ADULTS.
I also recommend:
Chemical-Free Kids: How to Safeguard Your Child's Diet and Environment by Allan Magaziner, Linda Bonvie, and Anthony Zolezzi
This book better explains the importance of organic foods among other things.
Another great format & an easy read.

I agree with one reviewer who said that it is difficult to pull off. But, I will still give this one 5 Stars. First I never knew how much important EFAs are and this book explains that well. Second it talks about tackling EFA and other mineral defficiencies for kids of various ages starting from Prenatal(pregnancy). I love the format in which this was written. Very easy to refer. My three and a half yr old is a very picky eater. I might not make her eat all the healthy stuff thats said in the book. But I started rubbing FLAX oil onto her skin, and her eczema is getting better.
The book also tells you about anti-nutrients. I now think a little before giving junk food to my kid. Recipes sound good but I never tried them yet. Hopefully I will get my kid to eat atleast a few of those. Highly recomment to parents who worry why your kid gets sick more often and suffers more than all the rest of the neighbourhood kids.

My daughter was diagnosed with excema, and I was told to put her on steroid treatments to control it. After following the advice in this book, her symptoms have completely disappeared and she is happier and healthier. Dr. Galland's advice is amazing, and has been a blessing to our family.
